Today I'm facing what will be a difficult day for me and I know how anxious I will be if I rely upon myself. So I turn to God in times like this for the strength and courage He offers. Here are some of my favorite verses from which I draw strength in my belief that prayer is powerful: Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters ...

Christian Me – A Square Peg In a Round Hole
If you've ever looked at my About Me page or happened upon my Twitter or Facebook Profiles you will have noticed that I'm a self-described Christian woman.

I say this humbly, not from a showy angle. There would be little point in ...
Self Confidence Through Comparison or Through Christ

Today I am bringing the topic back to the forefront, I want to ...
Today Acceptance Eludes Me
Some days I hate being human, it's excruciating to seek acceptance when I can't for the life get over the fact that I'm incapable to being who I want to be. Today is a BAD day, for once I'm going to openly lament here and hopefully you all will understand my weakness. I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm tired....I'm in pain. This pain that greets me as I wake still baffles me after over 2 years. My fuzzy brain which loses memories like a sieve is like a thief who constantly stalks my vault of ...
Being a Mom Isn’t Always Easy
Monday has arrived and with it the peace of a quiet house. I appreciate these moments of solitude when I can reflect upon all that God has blessed me with. Most mothers can be found to be doing this at some point today, looking back over Mother's Day weekend and feeling truly thankful for their role in these little one's lives. Listen I'm not saying being a Mother is easy, frankly if you knew me in real life you would often see me at my wit's end with my daughters. Day to-day they eat at my ...
