Lately when I have sat down to write it feels like the words just pour from my heart. Maybe it's from years of just wishing I had a place like this to visit. To be able to read about someone elses journey. Reassurance that I wasn't alone in the things I faced as a minster and minster's [...]
Can No = Yes?
When Barry and I came to California to interview for the ministry position at our current church, we fell in love with everyone and everything immediately. We realized within hours of our arrival that we were home. During that weekend we engaged in a number of conversations with the elders and pastors, church leaders and youth. [...]
Are You Afraid Too?
I am Afraid...but I don't want to be... Recently I logged on to Anne Jackson's blog and read an old post titled "Are You Afraid to be Amazing?" Anne's blog is wonderful and if you would like to check it out, you can click here. Here's the excerpt from Anne's post that got my attention: I wish I had [...]
On The Path Toward Healing
A friend of mine is an AMAZING artist and she just posted this painting on Facebook today. Once I saw it, I knew I needed to share it with everyone...especially those that are hurting. All of her work is inspiring because she has used painting as an avenue of healing in her own life. Feel free to [...]
Here’s the Issue
This post will go deep very quickly...hang on folks. 🙂 I sat teary eyed last week, talking about my blog. I realize between my last post and this one...you all probably think I'm just a mess. Well, I'll help you out. I am and I'm not afraid to admit it. I have issues too...just putting [...]
Wrestle vs. Run
"Babe, you've wrestled with God a number of times in your life...but you never ran away from Him." I looked up to see Barry smiling in my direction as he spoke. I was slightly downcast, feeling as though my blog has become an absolute beast. 🙂 I never really intended for this to be more than [...]
Day 1…Again
I love the phrase "Back to the Basics." That is used all the time around our house. Whenever we feel the busyness of life taking over we simply remind ourselves of this powerful phrase. The other night after youth group Barry and I sat and talked for a couple of hours. It was fun and so [...]
Truth Without Walls
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog. As some of you know I started a page on my blog titled My Story. It recalls the time that Barry and I spent on a church staff years ago. That was a very difficult time in our life, marriage and ministry. We whole heartedly [...]
I Know Him
We were the only ones in the waiting room. It was quiet, and somewhat cozy. Pictures lined the walls, countless success stories all captured on film. Some of them cute, and others...well...not so cute. Barry leaned over and whispered in my ear " Are you sure this is legit, I mean there is really no way [...]
Renewing My Mind
Have you ever had to take inventory of your life? Ugh, it's such a pain in the butt. I know none of us are perfect, and it certainly makes it difficult when we begin the process of sifting through old habits, hurts, mentalities and actions. It seems like all the bad stuff just suddenly emerges [...]
