As soon as I promised to write about real help for anxiety in my next blog post, I had a panic attack because I was afraid I couldn’t deliver. I thought to myself, what on earth was I thinking??? I don’t have any answers! I have no idea what helps me, let alone what wouldContinueContinue reading “Stop the Car!”

I Was Worth It
This morning during church, I heard yet another story of a guy who met a girl and gave up, on the spot, his drug addiction in order to be with her. Another guy gave up a 20-year pornography addiction–overnight–when God convicted him to do so to stay with his loving and forgiving wife. Other guysContinueContinue reading “I Was Worth It”
The Valley of the Shadow of Death
“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” ~ Psalm 23:4 Death seems to be everywhere this week.

Many reasonsContinueContinue reading “Why Not? The Better Question”

Sometimes just reading the words of Scripture can speak their power into our souls. Words reveal truth.

Reinventing Myself
This past year has been the year from you-know-where. Yes, I know everyone goes through hard times. In fact, a friend told me a some time ago that while her hard stuff was not like my hard stuff, hard times and still hard times. If it could go wrong this past year, it did.
