Why Do I Need To Read The Bible?
I grew up going to church, listening intently to the sermons each Sunday. I thought I was doing pretty good. Lessons learned on Sunday were quickly forgotten on Monday. It wasn’t an everyday practice in my family, nor my church to read the Bible for further learning....
5 Steps To Reading The Bible
The first time I opened a Bible to read it was when I gave my life to Christ in high school, and two of my friends gave me a shiny black Bible to help me grow in my Christian life. I was so excited. That was until I opened the gold-rimmed pages and the words made...
Reawakened Faith
Why am I so spiritually depleted even though I ‘wrote the book’? I wrote a book about making room for Jesus in our lives. The subtitle has drawn many people to the pages hoping to do less so God can do more. Yet, during the book launch and all the tasks that came with...

Becoming The Leader God Intends
What do you think when you hear the word leadership? Society tends to push the idea that we are all leaders and we need to stand confidently in the leader within us to lead others. I had volunteered, yet again, to lead a group of women in a Bible Study. I had my...
Healing Through The Heartbreak
There is so much heartbreak in the world. The messages I have received just this week are overwhelming. Lost loved ones. Loss of a love. Loss of someone we thought was our friend. Loss of a job. Loss of hope. Loss… When we suffer from loss, there is spiritual pain...
When It’s Hard To Love One Another
Sitting on the beach reading, spending my quiet time with Jesus, late afternoon, sun setting before me, light breeze blowing, sand between my toes is a beautiful place to be. My peace quickly ended when seagulls swarmed around me. I looked up to see not only a lot of...
