Sometimes don’t you feel like you’ve been wandering in the wilderness for an awful long time and it’s high time things should start looking brighter? I’ve been there.
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Relationship
If one of my four sons were to say, “My mom is pretty religious,” I’d be bugged. I don’t practice a religion; I have a relationship with God.
Monday Matters
Everyday What Road?
There’s only one road to God? What? That’s narrow minded.
Friday Matters
Everyday One Road
There’s only one road to God? What? But that view is narrow minded. You’re right, it is narrow but through a relationship with Jesus, not religion, it becomes clear that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice.

Everyday Joy of Heart
I wish Ecclesiastes 5:20 was true for me all of the time, “For she will not much remember the days of her life because God keeps her occupied with joy in her heart.”

Everyday God’s Memory
God is perfect. His memory is perfect. When God remembers people, plans, and promises, He works in a way that aligns with his faithfulness.

Marriage is not always happy, but it can be healthy. The reason it's not always happy is because what happens isn't always good.

It’s so much easier to point out what’s wrong with everybody else rather than look at our own junk to clean up.

Everyday Kidneys
It’s been ten years since Brenda’s best friend, Susan, became ill and needed a kidney transplant.

Everyday Feelings
I just stared at my journal looking at the verse I had written down from Psalm 139:5, “You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.” I didn’t believe it.
Wednesday Matters
Everyday Alter Call
You want to look up but you can’t because the burden you’re carrying is so heavy and you feel strange because the alter call at church was about going forward to pray for a prodigal child and your kids are all in church wondering, “What’s wrong with mom?”
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Backbone
I don’t sew, bake or volunteer for craft projects at school. I could feel like a lousy mom because don’t the good moms have all of those skills?
Monday Matters
Everyday Sin Issues
Don’t fret yourself about your sin issues because God first pours out His love to you and then He gently exposes your sin, offering a way for you to change direction, to receive full pardon and freedom.
