Day 17: God’s Light Shines Everywhere

Three weeks ago, I would never have believed all that has happened. Three weeks ago, my mom was on vacation at the beach. I would never have guessed that she had a large brain tumor growing in her head. You never know what will happen tomorrow. I cannot take one day for granted.

Day 16: God Will Build Us Up

I went to see my mom yesterday. My kids got off the bus, had a snack, and we drove up to Baltimore to see my mom. It was quite a drive. It took over 3 hours to get there. We took detours through the park, on winding roads. We drove through neighborhoods with boarded up… Continue reading Day 16: God Will Build Us Up

Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same

My mom's surgery is tomorrow. My kids start school again tomorrow. I was distracted today with back to school preparations. I *almost* didn't think about the surgery tomorrow. It is in the back of my mind, lingering. Thoughts about the surgery invade my thoughts, as I try to push the thoughts back again. My kids… Continue reading Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same

Day 9: God Bestows a Crown of Beauty Instead of Ashes

We have the opportunity to be thankful each day. We can be thankful for another day and more time to spend with family.

Last night, I watched the movie, "Breakthrough". Wow, it was an amazing testimony to the power of faith, prayer and God's almighty power. The movie was based on a true story and shows how God continuously works miracles in our lives, even now in 2019. Have you ever had a miracle in your life? I… Continue reading God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

The Rewards of Prayer Are Better Than Any Fad or Quick Remedy

It is easy to fall out of the habit of reading the bible and praying. We went on a vacation, and now I am trying to get back into a routine. The laundry is piled up. Suitcases are stacked by the door. I believe that reading the bible is more important. I have to start… Continue reading The Rewards of Prayer Are Better Than Any Fad or Quick Remedy
