Two Girls and a Lake House...

It's hard to believe that these past nine months are done and I'm now standing in front of three months of summer. I look back on the person I was nine months ago and I chuckle. She had no idea...

Miracles, Signs, and Wonders...

God is Gold...literally. (Part II)

The Holy Spirit and....me? (Part III)

God had my attention. I was His. And I wanted more. I wanted so much more! As I sat there continuing to pray with this lady...(sorry for continually referring to her as "lady". I don't remember her...

The Holy Spirit and....me? (Part II)

Is it possible? All these years, had I been worshipping myself instead of God? Lets evaluate. Did I kill myself trying to fit pieces of my life together? Yes. Did I think that the things I did or...

Just Because God Loves You

Her hair hung down in limp and dirty blonde strands and a little girl Astair's age clung to her leg. I noticed but I was distracted. Astair tugged on my arm and twirled in the fast food line. She...
