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…

Little Victories
Today, it happened. And I can’t contain myself! Today, I stepped on the scale and lost it. It’s not as easy to lose the weight after baby # 3 and God knows I’ve been trying. And today it has finally paid off. I’ve lost…. Not 20.. Not 15… No, not even 10. I’ve lost…….5………

No More Excuses
❤ Disclaimer: Pardon my scary no-makeup naked face and hear my heart. ❤ As a mom of 3 little ones under the age of 7, time fills up quickly. My middle child is up before the crack of dawn each day so that takes my morning devotion time most days. My oldest hates school during…

Breakthrough MOMent! #thankyouJesus
Ever have an “ahhh hah!” moment? Well let me tell you, I sure did. And it blew. me. a.w.a.y. We can’t assume we’re going to pass a test we never study for. Likewise, we can’t assume we foreknew all there was to know about parenting prior to birthing these little people. Depending on your career…

Just Say Jesus..
Our 7-year-old is having some terrible separation anxiety. She’s very attached to us and though we’re honored she wants to be with us all the time, there comes a time when independence from us is a must. Like when showering. Going to the toilet. And school, to name a few. It’s been an act of…

lawd have mercy.
Mercy. Google defines it as “compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm.” Can you use a little mercy today? Think about this for a moment. There are 365 days in a year. Take your age and multiply that by 365. Seriously, do…

Don’t Hide Your Gift <3
Since the beginning of time, God has been in the fixer upper business. He doesn’t generally pick those in the front of the line. He’s known for patiently waiting on those the world overlooks. The rejected, despised, “too young,” “too old,” inexperienced newbies. He takes the ones who are picked last in gym class and brings them…

27 Things I’ve learned @ 27
I’m getting old, y’all. Seriously. Next year I will be attending my 10 year high school reunion. *slams head to the table* I’ve spent the past few days spending precious time with family and friends in my hometown so I’m feeling a little extra sentimental this week. 😉 So without further adue, here are…

Your Prayers are Precious to God
Reading in Revelations this morning, I was humbled to the point of tears. The kids will be up soon and I don’t want you to miss this so I’ll make it quick. Ready? Your prayers aren’t just hitting the ceiling. (I know sometimes it really does feel this way, doesn’t it?) No, my sweet…
