Let it Go, For Real!
I know not everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, but you won’t see those photos or hear many people posting about it! But their lack of photos might give you a clue! So this is for you, if you ever felt you had to “conceal, don’t fell” or be “the good girl you always have to…

No Room in Your Schedule?
Flexible Schedule Classes are the Answer!
I think it’s time to face the truth: Virtual Learning is here to stay. Even if you plan to attend classes in-person, chances are good that the classes will be recorded or live-streamed for those who cannot make it. But this is actually a good thing! Even though our world has changed drastically over the…
Faltering Faith in the Desert
Most people give the Israelites a hard time for not trusting God more in the desert, but I totally get it. First, they didn’t even know the God of their fathers. They had been in Egypt living and thriving since the famine when Pharaoh invited Josephs’s family to settle in the land. There the nation…
Why is Obedience so Difficult?
Sometimes when God is working on our hearts and speaking to us, we hear it through songs and messages. Lately, when I’ve watched Crazy Faith by Michale Todd and read the bible, the message has been clear. “Be patient, don’t rush things, and wait in expectation.” That has been his message to me the last…

How do you eat out when you’re on a health plan and trying to lose weight? Health is not about starving or depriving yourself of what you love. It’s about rethinking why you eat what you eat and making smart choices about what you put in your mouth. All that starts with changing you’re relationship…
Is there Purpose in Suffering? A Perspective from Hagar
I don’t know why some of us have more of our fair share of trials and troubles in this world than others, even when we are following God and doing all the right things. I admit sometimes when I’m in the thick of it, my faith is shaken and I question not only God’s purpose…
Are you a Failure like Clarence the Guardian Angel?
As I turned on “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the first time this season to nurse my hurting heart after some recent professional and personal “rejections,” I hoped to refocus my thoughts to see all the blessings in my life, not all my failures over the last several decades. I never imagined that God might…
