Will Our Bodies Be Perfect In Heaven?
This past weekend my daughter asked if when she gets to heaven she will have two working eyes. I’ve been tossing that question around in my head ever since and the answer is I don’t know. (If you don’t know our story, she lost one eye to cancer at 6 months old) The question […]

Finding God In The Ruins
This book was provided to me by LitFuse and David C Cook in exchange for an honest review. The beauty of Matt Bays testimony of pain is that it grants permission for doubt. Often we are given a tidy package in which we are told to relate to God, to trust blindly, and to rest […]

What promise does Easter hold?
Whenever Peter begins to speak I smile. You never know if it will be wrapped in humility, or be served with humble pie. Acts 10:34-43 is simply beautiful, “I now know…” he says, “…God does not pick favorites…all who want him are welcome (paraphrase mine).” It’s a lesson Peter will have to learn again, but […]

Our hearts are broken…
I’ve been trying to find the words to say. My heart is broken and the act of writing normally brings healing. But words have been hard for me to find. My children are mourning, they lost a friend and my friend lost a child. The world is different today. I close my eyes and all […]

And It Was Beautiful: Celebrating Life in the Midst of the Long Good-Bye
Litfuse Publicity Group and David C Cook sent me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Kara Tippetts had a beautiful way of opening her heart to strangers. She continues to do so through the words she left behind. And It Was Beautiful is a journey of coming to terms with what it […]

Come Sit With Me Mama
It’s been awhile since I’ve last sat down to study or write. This morning I carved out a few minutes only to be met with the small voice of a child. “Sit with me mama.” It’s not just the writing and the studying I’ve neglected. I’ve been consumed in busy with little time to sit […]

KHEY St. Jude Radiothon and Our Survivor
I’ve been driving around El Paso all day. From the East Side to the West, back to the Northeast and then Ft Bliss. The St. Jude Radiothon has filled the silence from one location to the next. My heart is sitting in their radio station right now. Normally, when St. Jude commercials come on the […]

Building A Website: What I wish I knew from day one
Since around 6th grade I got it in my head that I wanted to be a published author. A few years back I decided that it was time to stop dreaming and start doing. So I started writing. Ok, I’ve been writing since 6th grade but I hadn’t really shared it with anyone. I soon […]

Does God really offer safety? What does that mean?
Fear motivates us to seek safety but does safety drive away fear? As someone who has had her share of anxiety I don’t believe it does. Despite the reality of being safe the fear of the unknown or even the possibility that something terrible could happen can keep us from finding comfort. Throughout Scripture we […]

Book Review: Helping My Hero!
Helping My Hero, My Hero is Home, and My Hero Hurts are three books I hope you never need. These books are a new addition to Cru Military’s Bridges to Healing Series. They were sent to me a few months ago in exchange for an honest review. I have to be honest with you, I didn’t […]
