Sometimes we get so caught up over what we did, who we were, how we were that we hold it against ourselves.  We start believing that God won’t see past who we once were.  God knows when you are changing.  Every change you are making counts.  He sees past all the mistakes we once made. …

Good grief…one more minute stuck in traffic and I’m going to lose it! WOW!! Doesn’t that sound like many of us as we commute to and from work each day.  The traffic is backed up for miles and the only hope you have at this point is for a helicopter to hover over you, drop…

Failure…According to Webster’s Dictionary Failure is lack of success, falling short.  Many times we venture off and try something new.  For me it’s been a restaurant, a custom design cake & cupcake shop, real estate…just a few of my many ventures.  I enjoyed each so much and put all my heart into my work.  I…

I’m sure at some point in your life, someone has said to you to take the path of least resistance.  We often choose to go that route to avoid the struggles and obstacles that at times can easily be averted.  But without the resistance you can’t grow stronger.  It’s a fact.  If you think about…

For the past couple of days I’ve been laid up on the couch or the bed unable to really get around.  A couple years ago, I was involved in an accident, making it my 3rd.  Once again I was struck from behind on the highway and reinjured my back.  This time I ended up with…

When we pray to God we want Him to hear our prayers.  We want God to listen to our pleas as we reach out to Him.  We want to know that God heard every word we whispered…every tear and unspoken word.  We open our hearts to God.  We pour out our deepest thoughts to Him. …
