Relationship Storms

Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so...

Are you looking for some hope?

Happy February everyone! I hope the first month of this year is treating you right. If not, then I’ve got some hope for you.  Many of us made resolutions and most of those people who did, have given them up so far. I didn’t make a resolution this year. I haven’t made one in several...

Happy New Year 2022

Today is the last day of the first month of 2022. I have been trying to decide what to say about what I learned last year. I began the year strong with a desire to live the good life (you can see that here). However, I thought it would be better if I made specific...

Do Something.

I’m back! I’ve decided that it’s time to come back to the blog. I posted last week because I was moved, once again, by images of human trafficking. I’ve decided to look around the world and pull some resources on all sorts of recovery-related things all in one place.  In my last post, I said...

#WalkForFreedom

It’s been about 6 weeks since I’ve posted anything. But here I am, back again. Trying to shine some light in the darkness. Speaking of darkness… This morning I woke up at 6:40am to go for a long walk. About a month ago I signed up to walk with the A21 Freedom Campaign in Fayetteville,...

Just Breathe

What does your life look like right now? For me, it seems like I’m always running around doing things. It seems like when I’m having a bad day there’s always something that I have to do. You know those days where you have an appointment first thing in the morning, then the coffee pot didn’t...

Where Are You?

Where are you, right now? Summer is quickly drawing to a close, life is slowly switching over to fall, it’s getting dark earlier, and it’s still hot outside. All around me life is changing - all day every day. There is only one thing that remains the same. Only one thing that is constant. One...

Regular Everyday Ordinary Life

Hello, my lovely friends! Oh my gosh, it’s been about a month since I checked in. My plan in July was to post twice a week with an encouraging verse, song, or praise. Just anything to say “hey, don’t give up.” Well, I didn’t quite make it.  You see, we’ve moved from Ohio to Arkansas...

You Are Chosen

Hey friends! Today is another day of encouragement! I am loving doing these posts for this month! I know that halfway through the year, we can review and see that we’ve made some mistakes, gotten off track, or even abandoned those resolutions from January. Around here, we don’t judge any of that. Just start where...
