When my youngest child was about 9-10 months old, I started to get anxious because she appeared uninterested in walking.  I kept trying to push her into walking and she would look at me and continue to crawl. One day when it was just the two of us, out of nowhere, she stood up and walked to me.  This experience helped me to see that no one simply arrives at a destination or at a milestone. A baby has to sit...

Earlier this summer, I was in a funk. I lacked motivation to do the things that brought me joy. Getting off the couch and out of my pajamas were considered a victory. My mind was plagued with questions for God: questions about my future, questions about my purpose, questions about giving up. And I wrote some questions down and recorded God’s response to my questions. No, God did not verbally speak to me, but as I read scriptures and sat in...

There is nothing more disappointing and frustrating than giving my daughters instructions, have them acknowledge the instructions and later come to find out, they failed to...

3 Things To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

This situation is all too familiar to me: Someone I love dearly is sharing with me a painful experience, or telling me about struggles that she currently faces. The problem is that I have no words to that can bring comfort or healing because this situation is new and while I can only imagine what it feels like to be in that particular situation or deal with that particular issue, I really have no idea and my imagination probably will not...

Where He Leads Me

I use my GPS app to go just about everywhere, especially on weekdays when traffic can be unpredictable. Sometimes I use my GPS because I do not know where I am going, but I also use it to determine if there is a better route that will get me there based on the conditions of traffic. Yesterday, I put in the address to the destination I have been traveling to all week. The GPS directed me to take a route...
