God Is Love
When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my uncle Robert was killed by a drunk driver while he was on his way home from work. I don’t remember too much about my uncle, except that he had a nice smile and had a ton of records. I’ve really gotten to know him over…

I Will Speak
All week I have been thinking about the verse above…well, not just that verse, but the whole chapter. Have you read about Balaam and his donkey? People often wonder if God has a sense of humor and this story really gives you a straight “YES!” God gave us a sense of humor and He gave…

Reveal Your Glory
They say that hindsight is 20/20 and I am queen of the “I wish I had made better choices when I was younger” club. Between going to court last week and not feeling well this week, I have had a rough time and can’t help but look at the things I should have done differently…

For I Will Yet Praise Him
What does depression look like to you? Most people assume depression looks like constant crying or anger, and it can look like that, however, it can also be something much different for others who experience depression. I was mean when I was depressed. People who met me within the last 10 or so years don’t…

LORD, Give Me Wisdom
Throughout childhood I had several favorite toys, but the one that stands out to me most is the Rainbow Brite doll I was given as a gift when I was about 5 or 6 years old. The 80’s was the decade of bright colors and loud music, and I can remember wanting to dress just…

I Knew You
With all of the media buzz on abortion lately, I thought I’d share with you a time in my life that contributed to the depression I carried around with me for so long. This is something I still regret today, but I thank my Father in Heaven for forgiving me and letting me know that…
