When the lights go out…
It’s nighttime, the kids are in bed; Hubby’s asleep but will probably say he was resting his eyes once he wakes up. You’re all alone, just you and Jesus. Who are you now? I ask myself this periodically, to see if I’m still aware of me. Lately, I recognized that I’ve simply been reacting to…

Letter to the single mom…
Dear beautiful, After having my daughter, I felt like I didn’t deserve God’s grace because of what I’d done. My virginity was this treasure I kept; it set me apart and made me special now it was gone. I felt worthless and finished. The open shame of my secret sin and the public evidence of…

Beautifully broken … A little deeper ( Day 57 – 100 Days of Singleness)
I had this really powerful message to deliver to you guys… But what I’m led to share with you is something a bit different than usual. I speak to you, not as a spotless woman of virtue. I speak to you as a broken vessel. Repaired and redeemed by the one true living God who…

Sacred speech…. or secret sabotage??? ( Day 13 – 100 Days of Singleness)
I’ll let the scripture speak…. “…..For I have heard the whispering of many, “Terror on every side! Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!” All my trusted friends, Watching for my fall, say: “Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him And take our revenge on him.” (Jeremiah 20:9, 10 NASB)…
