THE BLOG
Welcome...
Welcome to where I share the thoughts from inside my journal.
I'm pretty transparent about my stuff. I share the raw and real with gut-wrenching honesty and don't sugarcoat the struggles along the way.

You'll laugh, cry, and relate to many things along the way.
And when you do, I invite you to let me know.

I have no idea where she learned it, but it...

Self-confidence is what the world says we have.

I had barely flipped the calendar over when my mom, sister, kids, and husband began to ask me, "Do you know what you want for your birthday?"
Sadly, no. The running list of ideas I have are gifts...
Ever since the time changed last month, I've had difficulty adjusting. Something about the shorter days and longer nights has this sunshine-loving girl feeling off. Of course, it doesn't help that...
Ever had something you’ve been waiting for God to do, and you wait and wait, and wait. It could be provision, open doors, healing in your body, a loved one to come back to Jesus. It could be...
