This picture was taken on a hike at Margarette Falls in East Tennessee. It came after navigating narrow ledges — a challenge for someone afraid of heights — and crossing a creek on slick, flat rocks. I wanted to cry. The image doesn’t quite capture how steep it felt to […]
Faith
Promises, promises…
When God promises, he delivers. Sometimes immediately, other times not so much!
Doubts
Why is it so easy to doubt? I guess it is because us humans want to maintain safety and we would rather doubt then get our hopes up and be devastated and hurt by something that appears to be wishful thinking. Life is hard, but doubting makes it more of […]
Scripture Power
Yes, the one thing that will actually get us to make better choices is this. I have consistently read the scriptures for almost a full year before bedtime and right as I wake up in the morning. It is the one thing that keeps me sane and on track. Not […]
