God’s Got This

God is the truth. God gives light to the world.  The world can be a dark place, because we are all sinners. Satan is out to make our lives miserable and fill it with confusion, doubt, chaos, anger, jealousy, and deceit.  We have to walk around and live in that world. How can we be… Continue reading God’s Got This

It Is Time To Try God’s Way

As I get older I realize, wow I have so much to learn!  Some things in life stay constant, but our reaction or how we deal with them can change.

Keep Up The Faith

Today was an emotional day. We met my mom at her doctor's appointment. Her 6 week radiation and chemotherapy treatment will be done on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.

Thankful For God’s Goodness

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Then, Christmas will be here before we know it. I love this time of year. I love being reminded of God's goodness and the reasons that I have to be thankful. I am thankful for a home and employment. I am thankful for my family and God. I… Continue reading Thankful For God’s Goodness
