Grief And Betrayal I was touched recently while reading a daily devotion. It was one that I read daily, it is written by Bob Gass Ministry. This day was about Healing for Your Grief. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Ps 147:3 The Lord didn’t promise to protect us from pain and […]
For such a time as this… You Are Chosen I just love the story of Esther. A queen – beautiful, strong, and proud – and unique. However, Esther didn’t always understand how God could use her to save her people. You see, Esther was chosen. Despite unknown and even dangerous circumstances, Esther decided to lean […]
It’s a Wonderful Life. If you’ve seen this classic Christmas film, you no doubt walked away feeling uplifted and encouraged about life. But maybe your real life isn’t feeling so picturesque right now, and you’re wondering just how to get back to that wonderful, peaceful place. Life can still be beautiful, even in the pain […]
Over the years, as I’ve gained experience and wisdom, one of my goals has been to be more intentional with my life. Deliberate daily actions, from my prayer life to my relationships and thoughts. And especially in my healing. You see, when pain and hurts are left unchecked and not processed, they can grow larger […]
As I reflect back through the years of my life, I can see how the twists and turns, the ups and downs, were always woven by the hand of God. Some of the paths were straight, some were anything but straight, and there were many divine detours along the way! So, what exactly does a […]
Studies have shown that of our daily thoughts, a staggering 80% are attributed to negative thoughts. Even more shocking? 95% of those thoughts are repeating themselves day after day.

You’re living out everything you’d ever wanted and dreamed of as a little girl! But what happens when things don’t go as planned? Your job […]
Growing up, most of us heard this from our moms: ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.’ What a concept this is. Even though a thought forms in your head – it doesn’t have to come out of your mouth! Because we all know – what comes out of […]
I believe most of us have that ‘one’ friend, family member, or acquaintance; you know the one. You beeline for a completely different aisle when you see her in the grocery store! No time for this today! Why? The negativity, self-pity, and same-ole-story routine can be just plain exhausting. She’s choosing bitterness. Bitterness is a […]
When life is sailing along smoothly, and everything is going as planned, it’s pretty easy to feel good about ourselves, our surroundings, and our situations.
