I decided a long time ago, like when my children were just toddlers, that resolutions were not my thing and I could not possibly hold myself accountable to unrealistic goals like dieting and loosing 50 pounds worth of baby weight in just a month. Believe it or not, that was one of my resolutions becauseContinue reading “Gather”

I’m working on a special writing for you that I promise you are going to want to stop by to read. My writing time is wedged between work, kids, and all that comes with life at the moment. But, I wanted to share a little something with you in the mean time. Have you heardContinue reading “S.A.D.”

I’ll try and keep this a little short because my sixteen year old daughter wants me to go get my nails done with her and her friends. You totally read that right. What teenager wants their mom to tag along with her and her friends? Maybe she is just trying to console my mommy heartContinue reading “It's Me…”

Can I be honest with you?  I struggle with struggles in life.  What I mean is that when life doesn’t go the way I thought it should and a curve ball is thrown, I swing for the fence and usually miss entirely.  And I usually feel like that’s my third strike. “YOU’RE OUT!” and “goodContinue reading “Struggling with Struggles”

Difficult seasons are a normal part of the Christian experience, but knowing that doesn’t make those times easier to walk through. The past several months have been a difficult time of transition for me. One of the biggest things I am battling is self-pity. My two favorite sources of wisdom, God’s Word and Elisabeth Elliot,Continue reading “To Shine on Those Living in Darkness (Luke1:79)”

Have you ever thought of life here on earth as a temporary assignment from God? We won’t be here long. In God’s timing, our time here is but a minute. In our timing, we have a hundred ears, if we are lucky. It’s really just a shadow of time to God, but we allow ourselvesContinue reading “Character Over Comfort”

Have you ever sat back and thought about love without conditions; the type of love that is unconditional? We all love to use the phrases, “I’ll pray for you” or “I’m praying for you”, but to what extent do we really pray? To what extent do we really love?

I’ve been in an interesting season of life lately.  Those of you that have been part of the Titus II family for any length of time know that Tara and I embarked on writing a book together recently and I have been a regular writer for Titus II from the beginning. Even in the lowestContinue reading “It’s More Than a Feeling”
