The Landmark Christmas Snowcone

As we were driving home on Sunday, our kids spotted a Bahama Buck’s snowcone shop. We told them that snowcone places weren’t opened in the winter–only to realize that Bahama Buck’s had a sign up displaying their seasonal Christmas flavors: Christmas Tree, Santa, and Candy Cane. Only in America, guys! Only in America! We all […]

The Cruel Sticker Bush

This scripture got down in my spirit this morning. Last night, the Lord brought to mind the scripture penned in Hebrews 12:1: “…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Sin that entangles! That’s a cool image. […]

The Great Let It Go

English has always come easy for me. I have ALWAYS been a talker. I’m a social person, so to be social, you have to talk, but little did I know that one day, God would call me to sacrifice that gift. No, He didn’t ask me to become a mute. 🤣 HE makes the dumb […]

The New

You can choose to live in a world where you’re terrified of darkness or you can live in a world where your God terrifies the darkness. I chose years ago to accept Jesus into my life, but before that, the enemy tried to convince me I was a good person, almost like God should have […]

The Nonsensical Mission

“I’m a high school dropout, and I’m dumb, so if you want me on your team, you’ve got a lot of work to do,” I prayed. This was my weak-minded prayer in 1994 when God began to deal with me about ministry. I was a preacher’s kid. I grew up in ministry, and I had […]

Come on! I Know the Way!

At a scary time in history, there is certainty.

Hopes and Dreams

What if God called you to do something so outside of your comfort zone you claimed it wasn’t God’s will? What if you even said, “I don’t want to do that”? What if God then gave you over to your own will and allowed you to find your own path? What do you think it […]

Oh No!

I read. I write. I speak. Always have. Lord willing, always will. My brain loves to learn, process, and help others. I learn by reading pretty much everything I can get my hands on, process through journaling, and then I help others by sharing what I’ve learned along the way. I read to continually learn […]

The Change

“Mama, why are you still wearing your pajamas?” “Son, sometimes I get so busy doing housework that I don’t take the time to change.” My words hit me like an anvil being dropped on my head. I recognized, at that moment, that that particular morning, I had not taken the time to pray or read my […]
