Since we were alone, we had no choice but to be brave, push forward, and walk through this … Continue reading He is With You
This painting, created by my friend Sharon Taylor, is an enlightening representation of the spiritual warfare that exists all around us. This is a graphic reminder that Satan is a very real enemy who purposefully seeks to destroy those committed to Christ. 1 Peter 5:8 says, Be sober-minded, be alert.

When we were young, my brother and our friend convinced (or maybe I should say coerced) me to ride the new double loop Shock Wave roller coaster at Six Flags. I was filled … Continue reading Just Believe

Those who are battered and bruised may show visible … Continue reading No Matter How Dark the Path
It is easy to get discouraged during difficult times and allow fear to control our thoughts and actions. It helps to remember that no matter what I'm going through, I can trust that God is there leading the way and will be with me each step of the journey.
