How did this happen? How did I get off-track? Those are just a few of the questions I’ve been asking myself since attending an awesome Christian womens writer’s conference this past weekend. I’m not really sure what the answers are – all I know is that it has happened. The writing of my first book The … More Back To Where I Need To Be
Growing up I never wanted to be known as “square.” I did what I could to fit in with who I deemed were “popular,” but … I just never seemed to make it. That was probably when my feelings of low self-esteem started. However once I became a Christian in my 30’s I learned that being … More Square In A Round World
Have you ever stuck your fingers together with superglue? Ugh… But as irritating as it is, eventually you can get your fingers pried back apart.

I’ve been there. And, unfortunately, I still somedays find myself falling into that trap. What am I really supposed … More What Are You Waiting For?
I hate snakes – I mean I really, really do. Just seeing a picture of a snake absolutely freaks me out. People talk about them, and I find myself breaking into a sweat. They terrify me. I was born in Iowa, and our family lived in a cute little house that had a small orchard in … More Crushing Evil
Have you ever just sat staring at the different cloud formations in the sky? Beautiful, yet sometimes so complex! How about when you’re in a plane on an overcast cloudy day. Suddenly as the plane flies higher and higher, all of a sudden you find yourself breaking through to clear blue sky. Underneath all you … More Day Dreaming
I was sitting at my desk praying and wondering what to write for this post, when all of a sudden I found myself glued to some old Bible study notes. One verse in Isaiah 53, I found myself coming back to time and again. It was v. 11: “Out of the anguish of his soul he … More Shedding Tears For Jesus
