My hope is found in…

How precious God's thoughts are towards me. God being ever-present. God knowing my future. God staying the same and never changing. God being by my side through every storm of life.

It’s not over

Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. I’ve found myself slipping away from the truths of God. I’ve found myself feeling angry at the hard that has been a part of …

In need of a Saviour

I'm in need of a Saviour who endlessly forgives my unkind words, my impatience, and my unkind actions. I'm in need of a Saviour who can rescue me from my deep ugly sins. I'm in need of a Saviour who can heal my scarred heart and make it whole again. I'm in need of a …

Someone else’s words

I love that God uses other people to speak into our lives. To encourage us. To help us along in whatever journey we are on. Today I don’t share my own words, but words I have read/heard that have touched me, encouraged me, helped me and brought me laughter. Not on one topic. But on …

9 years of marriage, 4 years of redemption

9 years ago today we were wearing out our facial muscles with smiles for pictures of the most important day ever. We were excitedly waiting to start a new chapter in life. We were young. We were so naive. We literally had no idea what marriage was really like or about. We could have never …
