Requested: Sex Before Marriage (A Woman’s View)

Sex is such a touchy subject to discuss… Well at least it is for me. I recently received a request to discuss the topic of having sex before marriage.  As I thought about it, I realized that this subject probably needs to be broken up into three different posts. This particular post is going to […]

Who’s your Author?

There is something extremely humbling about turning your life over to God. You go from planning your today’s and tomorrow’s, to having to trust that whatever the future holds is exactly what is meant to be. I still struggle with letting go completely and allowing him to work. But if the bible says that he’s […]

Bruised… not Broken

When I was younger, I was picked on by most of my classmates and peers. Weird right? Considering how awesome I am now, lol. (I don’t want this to become a sad story so I needed to add a bit of humor before I got into the grit of this story.) One day in the […]

What’s Love Got to do With It?

   Maya Angelou once said, “have the courage to trust love one more time, and always one more time.” We can all draw our own understandings from quotes.

The Here & Now

It’s funny how one occurrence in our lives can change us drastically. One day we’re carrying on business as usual and the next, we’re almost completely new beings.

A Journey’s End

“It’s in times of sorrow and grief that we cling to those we hold the dearest.”   I have a confession to make… I lied to you. If you’ve kept up with the blog then you may recall the very first post I wrote that talked about my cousin Ken. If you haven’t read it, […]

Using your Gifts [Part 1]

You’re home when you hear a knock on your door. You call out, “Who is it?” but there’s no answer. So, you peek out of your door but no one is there. To investigate further, you open the door and spot a box lying on your doorstep but there’s no delivery truck in sight. Picking […]

Got Faith?

   Have you ever had those times where something pops into your mind out of the blue, and then you can’t shake it for days or maybe even weeks to come? A song, a quote, a movie, anything? A few weeks ago this happened to me. A Bible verse popped into my mind so randomly […]

Saying what needs to be said

I try to leave my blog as unbiased as possible. Simply because I want this to be a place where races and religions aren’t taken into consideration because we’re all people. But at some point in time, certain things have to be addressed. We’ve grown to be so afraid of what’s politically correct and what’s […]
