To The Barren Woman { Special Guest Post by Loretta Yopp! }
Does Mother’s Day find you in an uncomfortable place? It is not by chance you found these words today. You need a few moments to be encouraged, beautiful friend. Push that darling little brew button on your coffee maker and pull up a seat at the table and let’s talk through this thing. Because you…

Fighting With Faith
You think it could never happen to you. Until you find a lump. And then everything changes. This is my friend, Sarah. Her and her husband have a beautiful little girl and two foster children. They also pastor a growing church in Braydenton, FL. She’s young. A healthy eater. And cancer doesn’t…

It ain’t over ’til God says it’s over.
It’s hard calling it “Good Friday.” Because for what it appeared, it looked to be anything but good. The Messiah flogged, beaten, spit upon, mocked and his tattered flesh brutally nailed to a wooden splinter-ridden cross. Sounds more like #worstdayever Ohhh honey… but I believe Jesus knew deep down, despite the physical agony, despite the…

In the Potter’s Hands
Sometimes we find ourselves being thrusted into uncomfortable, unfamiliar places. Life gets unbearable, painful and just plain sucky at times. It’s easy in our human nature to tense up, clam up and close up. But instead – God wants us to grow. He wants us to prosper and gain wisdom and knowledge. And sometimes we…

Step Into the Light
Light and darkness cannot coexist. Either there is total darkness without the presence of light, or there is light overtaking the darkness. Think about it. Your bedroom is pitch black because all lights are off. When you turn on a lamp or flip a light switch – instant light! The darkness can no longer remain…

Fight for your VOICE! <3
We’re kicking it old school today. You remember The Little Mermaid, right? All those who were raised in the 90s or raised kids in the 90s said… YEAH! 🙂 Ariel had a problem. She wasn’t satisfied. She always wanted more. Her gidgets and gadgets satisfied only for a short while, so she decided to make…

Dare to Compare
I’ve really tried to be a regular blogger. Really, I have. And then life happens. I miss a few days. Then a few days turns into a week and a half. Then come the questions. And comparisons. I’ve felt the pressure. The expectations. I’ve questioned myself. More than you know.. How often should I post?…

Fill Up, Babe.
It is so amazing to me how God unveils life’s greatest wisdom through gentle whispers, if we will only make time to listen. We may need to clean a little wax from our stubborn ears in order to clearly hear His voice. Maybe wipe the dust from the bible on the night stand that has…

More Than Enough.
Another day of endless sibling squabbles. More than enough. “Give me that! I had it first! That’s mine! Stop it! He’s pushing me! She did it!” The oh so familiar repetitive routine will wear down even the strongest ones. Some days are so completely exhausting. *insert long dramatic sigh here* And when those days become…
