Behind Bars
This weekend, I had the opportunity to go to the county prison to help lead a Bible Study with the women. At first, I honestly wasn't too sure about going. I feared what I would see or experience in such a setting. I was afraid I would not know what to say or do. Although … Continue reading Behind Bars
Merry Christmas 2022!
Have you ever opened a package only to find another layer of wrapping paper or smaller box inside? My younger brother and I were quite the jokesters growing up.

Heart Check: Stone or Flesh?
The hot sting of the gravel made my eyes water as I pulled each embedded rock from my knee.

All the while, I repeated the … Continue reading Heart Check: Stone or Flesh?

Safe
It started off like any other counseling session. But about mid way through, I heard the wind knocking the trees against the windows. Minutes later, the national weather sirens echoed through the house. Even still, I just continued our conversation. We had important things to talk about. Yet, when the second siren went off, a … Continue reading Safe
L.O.V.E. W.E.L.L.

So, as a disciple … Continue reading L.O.V.E. W.E.L.L.
My Eyes
From the day I was born, my world has revolved around my eyes. In the early days, my eyes were used to capture - Adventure. Attention. Approval. Yet I never attempted to keep them hidden or hindered. Their big brown nature showered simple lashes and innocence. My love for dressing up as a cowgirl or superhero … Continue reading My Eyes
