This blog site is not your normal Christian blog.
I’m going to write about things we never talk about in our Sunday school classes or women’s Bible study groups. I will discuss your “little secrets,” imperfections, scars and pain. The things you may be ashamed for anyone to know about. Things you weren’t the only one to endure.
I pray you will be encouraged by reading my blog and hope you will visit often.

Awakened Decision
There comes a time in our lives when we have to make hard, heartbreaking decisions. We have to come to the realization: 1. We can’t change anyone no matter how hard we try, pray, threaten, nag, plead or beg. It’s their choice. Only God can if they allow the Holy Spirit to change their heart.…
Me and Peter
I have to confess that like so many of those in the Bible who though chosen by God, still failed Him. I have failed terribly! I can relate a lot to Peter, always running my mouth when I should be quiet. Boastful, overzealous and a know it all! Peter actually thought he knew more than…
I want to discuss “Valentines Day Disappointment.”
So often we have preconceived expectations of love. I remember when Bobby and I were in our late 30’s and attending a Young Adult Sunday school class doing a series on marriage. Every Sunday I left class feeling depressed and unloved because someone would say “my husband runs my bath for me and lights candles.”…
Thoughts on Job
Although Job had lived a blameless and upright life, fearing God and shunning evil (1:1), he was not perfect. He speaks here of ‘the sins of my youth’ (13:26) and says, ‘My offences will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin’ (14:17). The mistake that Job’s friends made was to…
Through the Rain
For almost two years now life as most Americans had previously known it has ceased to exist. The carefree days of living uninhibited by the restraints of our safety and health no longer exist. Fear if we aren’t careful can consume our thoughts and steal every ounce of joy we have. Having been mostly house…
The Missing Page
Earlier this week I took my momma for a doctor visit, as we were waiting I picked up a Southern Living magazine. The front of the magazine had a picture of a delicious looking pie on the front cover. I flipped through the magazine until I found another picture of the same pie with the…
Off Balance
Off Balance Somehow, with everything that is going on in this world the past few days I have found myself “off balance.” Have you ever felt that way? As if you just weren’t walking straight anymore. You are still getting up everyday and doing what you are supposed to do, but your legs are weak…
Giving Wisely
The truth is – you can’t be giving to everyone. Some people, not everyone, but some people as the old saying goes “if you give them an inch they will take a mile.” It makes giving complicated and it shouldn’t. We should be able to help others out of love believing they receive it with…
Estranged Daughter (ED)
Tomorrow my ED will be 36. I remember finding out I was pregnant just six months after having her sister. I was so confused and to be honest depressed. I knew their father was a mess. I knew by now he was not willing or able to take care of a family. I knew without…
Pasta Pieces
Earlier I put on some angel hair pasta. My Atlanta grand babies were coming to visit and they love my angel hair pasta and Alfredo sauce. I had bought the new pot size box of angel hair pasta and I was excited. I turned the water on to boil and when it finally heated up…
