My last post introduced us to the servant that was sent by Abraham to find Isaac a wife, as told in Genesis 24. This is where I want to pick up. The servant had taken ten camels with him to carry supplies and gifts to the woman he was looking for. He had decided he … Continue reading The Extra Mile

Giving and Receiving…
There was a time I had a really difficult time letting other people help me with...anything. I realize now that was a fruit of pride so when I decided to try and live my life by the fruit of the spirit, I had to really dig down and figure out why that bothered me so … Continue reading Giving and Receiving…
I Expect
I don’t even know where to begin. My mind is blocked from anything that’s of use; my fingers feel disconnected from my keyboard. I just want to write what is inside of me. I want to use my words to impact the kingdom of God. I want God to know me, and for me to … Continue reading I Expect

In 2016 the self-help industry netted $10 billion. That is a lot of people hopping on a train to becoming better people. I wonder … Continue reading Good, Better, Best
The Cost To Dream
Every dream comes at a cost.....even the dreams God has placed on the inside of you. He reminded me of that this morning. I know people who have had their cost be more than I myself would be able to bear. After I was diagnosed with breast cancer this past July, my husband was beside … Continue reading The Cost To Dream
