Sometimes peace is found through the most unexpected means and strangely in a manner you may have least hoped to acquire it. This week, peace came to me through a broken heart. It’s true… My heart was crushed… And peace was the end result. The scriptures states, “As far as it is among you, be…

First time you held my hand… The moment… forever ingrained in my heart. The feeling… I will never forget… I can’t possibly forget… I recall the powerful surge, the force of true and unconditional love shooting through my fingers… Landing in the center of my heart. Your touch created emotions in my soul so deep……

The children went to bed later than normal last night. Three of the four woke up in rotten moods. Complaining, grumping, yelling at each other, and “honestly” it seemed they were trying to ruin my morning. I sat on my front porch, Bible in hand, and attempted to have a moment of quiet. I longed…

It’s 2:45a.m. I lie here… Darkness surrounding me. Having just returned to my bed… Everyone else in my home sleeping… Here I lay… Here I ponder. 45 minutes ago I was sound asleep… My sweet daughter began screaming in pain. As I attempted to quickly alert my droggy self awake. It felt like hours before…
