When We Love Others It Should Open Their Hearts Not Close Them

Not long ago I had a deep prayerful conversation with someone who has deeply touched my life. I think this person by far has been the strongest and yet most humbled I have known. We talked about who deserves Christ, the love of God, and how the Body of Christ is supposed to be “asContinue reading “When We Love Others It Should Open Their Hearts Not Close Them”

When You Close Your Eyes, How Do You Envision Your Life?

When Differing Opinions Set Us Apart

Someone I knew a long time ago used to say “Opinions are like people’s behinds, everyone has one”. (I cleaned it up a bit for this post). It’s true. We all have an opinion and we could never ever possibly agree all of the time. The cool thing about our country is that we haveContinue reading “When Differing Opinions Set Us Apart”

You Are Like a Diamond: Multi-Faceted!

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What is my purpose in life?” You do have one. We all do! This world would never be the same without you.

From the Closet

As a little girl, I remember learning to pray in a small Lutheran church. I had already learned to talk to God on my own.

Some of the sting does go away with time but the memories, theContinue reading “You Can’t Heal from Love: Surviving the Loss of a Child”

You are NOT a Mistake!

I’m not sure if I can even count the amount of people who feel or believe that somehow they were “born wrong”.

Writing it makes it soundContinue reading “You are NOT a Mistake!”

How Men Can Be Supportive

The most confident of women still need the support of the men who surround them. As much as we do not like to admit this, the men in our lives have a strong pull regarding our self image, confidence, and successes in life. Even God tells us to not be unequally yolked because if twoContinue reading “How Men Can Be Supportive”

Finding Confidence Through Discerning Anger

Anger is a very tricky emotion sometimes. God has given us the ability to be angry and yet it seems like the world always wants to stop us from feeling it. In all honesty, anger has a real God given purpose. Without it we would find it much harder to discover the places inside ofContinue reading “Finding Confidence Through Discerning Anger”

Confidence Through Brokenness

I’m not sure how it works when empowerment comes shining through brokenness. I can only say that I am so glad that it can and does happen. There is a God given miracle that comes through tears, struggle, and a broken heart. Maybe it is because those are the times when we turn our heartsContinue reading “Confidence Through Brokenness”
