Today I am 17 days post-op from a complete hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. These updates are for my own records, for those praying for me, and for those going through the same experience. I hope to encourage others with my experience. You are not alone! If you are considering this surgery, need it for medical… Continue reading Post-Op Update #2. 17 Days.
Will You Prove Him?
What are you holding on to? What are you afraid to give to God? What is He calling you to trust Him with? Over and over in Scripture, we are given accounts of people being asked to do things that seem humanly impossible, all with the same result: finding God faithful. One account that sticks… Continue reading Will You Prove Him?
Personal Update: Post Surgery
It is 1/29/23. I am 3 days post-op from having a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. (1/26/23) Everything was textbook perfect during the surgery. Praise the Lord! I was able to return home about 10 hours after the surgery was over. My incisions and bloodwork were fine, and I had minimal bleeding, so my doctor said I… Continue reading Personal Update: Post Surgery
What is Your Pride Preventing?
In Luke chapter 18 verses 9-14 give us an example of pride. The Pharisee was so secure in his religious acts. He was sure that his own works were enough to make him right with God. In contrast we see the humility of the publican. He didn’t stand as close to the altar, he didn’t… Continue reading What is Your Pride Preventing?
Saying “Yes” in 2023
I enjoy the excitement and expectancy of a new year. It feels like a fresh start, changes are coming, and goals are being set.

If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023

I Have a Gift for You
Most of us like to receive gifts, especially this time of year. There’s a joyful spirit in the air and everyone seems more generous. Giving and receiving gifts are expressions of love. And that’s what I want to give you today. The greatest gift and expression of love ever given. From God to you. That’s… Continue reading I Have a Gift for You
Being a Wife Before Marriage
Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Does this mean a man can’t be favored or blessed by God before marriage? Not at all. We see over and over in Scripture that men are blessed and used by God before and after marriage, not just… Continue reading Being a Wife Before Marriage
What Do We Really Deserve?
I absolutely dislike, maybe even hate, the word “deserve.” I don’t think this word or mindset has any place in the vocabulary of a Christian. I am trying to be careful here. I am a very black-and-white person as most of you know. Something either is right or it’s not. I don’t have a lot… Continue reading What Do We Really Deserve?
Launch Out
“And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which… Continue reading Launch Out
