I began 2013 committing to focus on one word for the year: Believe. This turned into Believing God and a secondary focus on God’s Promises. I set out to scour the Bible to learn about God’s promises and how I could rightly apply those promises to my life. This was, in a way, my mission…

Staying Connected In the Midst of Change
Eight weeks ago our little family of three became four as we welcomed precious Lucas James Walters into the world! He is a doll and we are soaking up every sweet minute of his new little life. His presence, however, has brought my blogging and my study of God’s promises to a screeching halt. Since…
I’m Believing God
Well, I just finished working through the Bible study “Believing God” written by Beth Moore. I began this study earlier this year as I was praying about how to know and understand God’s promises. I am so thankful that I had the chance to work through the workbook and watch a few of the videos…

Confession: It’s Good For the Soul
I’ve dreaded writing this post but the time has come to break the news even if its not good news. I did not accomplish my weight loss goals as I had hoped to earlier this year. In fact, I did not even come close. I guess the good news is that I did not gain…
Can the Heart be Disciplined?
Emily Dickinson once wrote, When the Best is gone, I know that other things are not of consequence, The Heart wants what it wants, or else it does not care… I’ve toiled and fretted much this year over my lack of discipline; yet, after six months of striving, discipline remains just beyond my reach. This…
