Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to teach a class at the Christian women’s rehabilitation center that I have been interning/volunteering at. The lesson that the women were about to begin was Louie Giglio’s “Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table”. As I prepared for the lesson, I gained a deeper understanding…

The other day at church, our pastor’s message was based on “The Parable of the Talents”. At the end of the service, he asked all of us one very profound question… “What would it look like if God audited your life?” I remember several years ago I had thought what a performance review of my…

There is nothing sweeter than the kindness of friends, especially when you are recovering from an illness. It had been two weeks since Joe and I came down with the flu and basically became incapacitated. During the two weeks, we had friends offering to run to the store and bring us medicine, even though we…

Loving someone can be instantaneous like the blink of an eye, while loving others is more of a journey that is filled with joy, challenges, and growth. When I was pregnant with both of my children, the love for them was instantaneous. There was no waiting to see what they were going to be like,…

Two days ago, a team of women, including myself, hosted a woman’s workshop at our church which thankfully, was an absolute success. For months we had planned, making sure that each speakers we had selected was perfect for the topics…

To me, there is nothing more exciting than getting an unexpected package in the mail. This morning, I headed to the post office to pick up my email. I opened my mailbox and inside there was a package sitting there just for me. Like a child at Christmas, I felt around the edges of the…

I woke up this morning just before 7AM. As I got out of bed, I leaned over and kissed Joe on the forehead as he slept and headed into the kitchen to brew a cup of coffee, before settling down on the couch for my talk with Jesus. The day seemed normal just like any…

The other day I came across a Facebook reel where a young woman talked about what the “Diary of Jesus” would look like if He wrote about His day watching her. I thought that it was not only an interesting and unique thought but that it was a terrific way to deeply reflect on one’s…
