“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires.”  Isaiah 54:11   It’s the days that no one sees that are hard – the struggles that no one knows about.  Once time elapses, people assume you’re fine.  They think you’ve recovered, and all…

I read this blog article and enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share it with you. I am NOT who you say I am.    

  I’m so thankful for this promise. Sometimes, we don’t have to do anything. We just have to wait for God to work, and he promises to fight our battles for us. The Israelites defeated the Midianites with some lanterns and trumpets. Jericho’s mighty walls fell because God’s people walked around them. God sent an…

First of all, Valentine’s Day is a stupid holiday. We are still getting over buying Christmas gifts for everyone, and now we’re supposed to get our kids stuffies they will only play with for a day and tons of candy??? I already have to drink way too much coffee to keep up with them; there…

Sometimes, because we’re human, we are tempted to focus on the negatives in our current situation.  We feel like we’re drowning, and each day is a struggle just to keep going.  Especially when being a single mom is so unexpected, it’s hard to think about the uncertainty of the future and actually see anything positive. …

“For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.”  Habakkuk 1:5b How do you start the new year with hope when life is so hard?  If it’s your first new year without your husband, the future may seem desperately bleak and uncertain.  If it’s not, you may just…

God still loves you, and he still has a plan for you. Life may hurt and be harder than you ever imagined, but God is still in control and he will be by your side every step of the way. Everyone thinks you’re fine and you’ve adjusted well to life on your own. You have,…
