Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself, and Loving Life
As you discovered your story in our timeline exercise in Part 1 – Discover Your Story; I’m sure you realized, as I did, that there were some wonderful high areas and some dreadfully low areas and then quite a bit of just regular living life areas. There are seasons of joy and sorrow, choices that…
There have been a few times in my life when I feel that God so strongly desired for me to hear His voice that He repeated Himself over and over until He got my attention. Three times God has repeated Himself over the past few weeks with the same message spoken through three different friends…
It’s amazing what God will share into the depths of your soul when you get still and listen. God doesn’t want a new me. He wants me to be what He designed before I was ever born. He wants me to take all the experiences that have brought me to 2015 and use them to…
My youngest daughter just turned 20! I wish that I could play the entire movie of those 20 years in my head in slow motion. Milestones like this have a way of working into my soul and causing a tremendous amount of reflection. I admit that I may reflect on the past a little too…

Well, it has happened. Five months ago, I became an “empty-nester”. I must say, it came entirely too quickly and I certainly was not ready, much the way many things seem to come in this life. I wrote a blog post last fall when I was in the midst of my baby girl moving away. …
The first semester of my freshman year in college was an amazing time for me. My extremely shy “self” began to blossom into a friendly, confident young lady. Then came the spring of my freshman year in college. The phone rings in the hallway and my name is called. Mom is on the other…
