“And He could bear Israel’s misery no longer.” Judges 10:16 As a momma bear, I have been tested so many times by my boys. Testing me to my limits on certain occasions. And to them it was either funny or they knew this time mom wasn’t having it. I mean, seriously, those boys knew how…

Discouragement is such an ugly feeling. Those overwhelming thoughts that say we just aren’t good enough or not doing enough drown out God’s truths about who we are. I’ve battled with discouraging thoughts that roar like the chaotic waves in the sea. Thoughts that have attempted to make me feel as though I am not…

As I sit here this morning rocking my granddaughter to sleep, I began thinking of the visions God gave me a few years ago.

The excitement and anticipation for another 4th of July celebration has simmered down.  I can still hear the last of the fireworks filling the air and see the glow of those spectacular colors gracing our skies from my bedroom window.  This was another wonderful day with family, over indulgence in all the great foods and…
