I Choose to Live, Love, and Matter!

Have you ever watched God literally open a door for you in a way that confirmed he knew the desires of your heart? I can’t say this happens to me all the time, but when it does, I find myself humbled and awestruck. He did this in my life recently in a BIG way! It was a Tuesday.

Slaying the Giant in My Life

2017 was my year of battle. And I faced more than one. In October, I shared a post with you about my unwanted journey for which I was now grateful. Yes, my bout with depression was indeed a journey.

Back-To-School Supplies for Moms!

Back to School Supplies for Moms… a few goodies every mom needs! It’s that time of year when moms scurry about helping the kids find their supplies… praying it can all be taken care of at one store. (Which NEVER happens, right?!) The first store will inevitably be out of green pens (you only need one, of course) or it doesn’t have the exact folders your darling daughter had in mind. 🙂 I was just pondering… how about Back to School {Read More}
