The dark clouds and fierce wind seemed to be gaining momentum and width as I watched from my wheelchair in the parking lot. It was my first session with my counselor.

In the Waiting- Prepare
As school ends for the year and summer break approaches, the anticipation for going on vacation or even weekend trips with family and friends grows exponentially. Even as an adult, I remember a few years ago counting down the days (and hours) until I left with a group of co-workers for the beach. Still, no … Continue reading In the Waiting- Prepare
In the Waiting- Purpose
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Jm5n-KUTM&list=PLS7f7bvA_jbfcPa_Ktx_chOYrXEOJbGzs ~~~ In the waiting seasons, our identity is often shaken and we wonder about our PURPOSE. I experienced this personally when I lost my job as a teacher and became very sick as I shared in the video.

In the Waiting- Pruning
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” John 15:2 When you read this passage and particularly the word “pruning”, what emotions or thoughts … Continue reading In the Waiting- Pruning
In the Waiting- Praying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2amRlPYa28&t=15s Often times in our waiting seasons, we wonder if our prayers really make a difference.

So if you have been … Continue reading In the Waiting- Praying
In the Waiting- Praise
There are many pieces of my personal testimony I readily share. Although, some hit a deeper, more tender spot requiring the Lord’s continual nudging to get me to open up. Thus, I can certainly say this is the case for the period nearly two years ago when I was homeless and living out of the … Continue reading In the Waiting- Praise
Singleness is a GIFT
Relationship… Just those letters may drip with pure thrill or temptation to run away and hurl... Trust me, I understand. Most people my age have popped the question and ring with wedding ceremony planning of homemade decor, catering and picturesque scenery underway. Others are chasing their toddlers or coming up with precious baby announcements and names- Truly … Continue reading Singleness is a GIFT
Building Your TRUST Muscle
https://youtu.be/PA9FWztSIqg Today's theme is TRUST. In what areas of your life do you need surrender to God and TRUST Him with the outcome? Maybe your job? Finances? Future? Family? Health? Often times, it starts with the trusting Him with the small moments and decisions. Yet as people who desire control, it can be difficult. Although, … Continue reading Building Your TRUST Muscle

“But God”
Two words. 6 letters. A conjunction and a noun. Two words you may have seen on a T-shirt or the topic of a sermon. Seven days ago, like you, I may have paused momentarily at their hearing in light of punctuation, or even just breezed by them in my reading. Though by His grace and mercy, … Continue reading “But God”
