My Issue with Gloating When I was in the sixth grade, half of my school year was spent being bullied by one girl. I’m not sure why she chose me to harass, but she made that school year miserable for me. Years later, when we were both around 18, I happened to see her when […]
Your Enemy Prowls Around Like a Roaring Lion “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5: 8 (NIV) This was the first thing to pop into my head after the day I had yesterday. I had a full day planned. The best part was that […]
When You Are Weary I am a single mom. Sometimes, the weight of everything that I take on seems to be too much. A lot of it is self-inflicted as I often sign up to do things or I agree to do things before I think about how I’m going to fit them in with […]

New Year New Me? We’ve all probably heard some form of the saying “New year, new me!” and we may have even said that ourselves.
