Good news? Praise God. Not-so good news? Praise God. Yes, you read correctly. I know, it makes sense and in fact, it’s easy to praise God when all is well with the world: The man of your dreams has popped the big question. You’re pregnant. You’ve been offered a dream job. But to praise God: […]
As I was driving on a stormy day, the rain poured down and visibility was poor. It was hard to tell how long the storm would last or how far ahead it was of me. And then it happened. After living in Texas for years, I was caught in my first hail storm. Non stop […]
As most of you know by now, I am originally from New York aka the city that never sleeps. So, let’s just say that hustling and bustling run through my veins. There was hardly ever a quiet moment in the near three decades I lived there. We were always on the move with places to […]
When our first child was about two years old, I thought I had this parenting thing down. Our son was obedient, orderly, you name it..he was it. And then we had kid # 2. He was cute, charming, well behaved (in public), but behind closed doors…let’s just say, we were worn out! I remember my […]
Dear Friend, Has it been one of those days, weeks or months for you? Perhaps you are hurt and feeling broken. Maybe you are devastated by life-altering news.

I don’t know about you, but I do not have answers for the challenges that come my way. In fact, such circumstances leave me feeling sad and confused. Sure, talking about it to a friend helps. Reading a practical book is insightful. But the problem is still there and so is the unrest in my […]

I know we’re only two months into 2019, but I’ve already experienced days in which the enemy is a little too close for comfort. But God. Numbers 10:9 “When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who […]
I was determined. It wasn’t going to happen again. The last time I went through airport security, I mistakenly left a bottle of water in my purse. The security scanners caught it and I was asked to step to the side. I then went behind the curtain for a more thorough search while my family waited […]
I don’t know where you find yourself today, but I want to encourage you to not listen to the lies of the enemy that brings condemnation, fear, shame, and doubt. Jesus took the weight of all of that on the cross when he died. God knows exactly what you are going through and He is […]
