You’re Still God
“Being in the wilderness makes you even more grateful for the oasis. Hunger leads to thankful satisfaction. Your joy today is a harvest from seeds planted during times of despair. Let this be an altar of remembrance in your heart.”

Small Hope
I watched friends go out, date, start college, finish college, but I was stuck. Frozen in time, unable to move from the agonizing state I was in. By the time I was admitted I was beginning to lose hope.

The Next Thing
I’ve been waiting for this moment for over a year. Though at the time I never would have thought that the first doctor’s appointment would lead me on a mad chase for answers. I never would have believed all that my body and soul would be put through. I never could have fathomed the medicine,…

Oh, To Count It Joy…
Pain. It has become a very familiar thing these past few months. I don’t think I remember what it feels like to wake up and not think, “Okay, I’m gonna lie here for a little bit and try to see how bad we are today. Is this gonna be a clean-my-room-maybe-eat-more-than-crackers kind of day? Or…

They Need You
I’m going to be completely honest here. The past few weeks have been the hardest few weeks of my life. With three additions to the family it feels as though every day is survival based. I wake up on the defensive, trying to keep my sanity intact and my space clean. It’s non stop holding…

At the End of the Day
My heart is aching. I can’t possibly understand, even a little bit, what this child is going through, but still my heart aches. Because it’s not fair. This precious little girl shouldn’t be sobbing in my mother’s arms begging for her parents. Begging for something we can’t give to her. All because of sin. All…

When You’re Not Good Enough
Perfection. Boy, it’s something I struggle with. Every day making the perfect plans, to have the perfect day, and be the perfect person. And in the end it all comes crashing down around me. Am I the only one who struggles with the idea that we must be perfect? That I have be what everyone wants me to be? It…

They are…
These children silently cry for a home. They have been stripped of their homes, mom, possessions. An officer or social worker came in their home and gave them about five minutes to grab some things and leave. They were given to strangers. Let me repeat that…they were given to STRANGERS. They didn’t know these people.…
