Oasis: Making Time to Sit on the Curb
The Dream Back in March I blogged about Dreams. And how I felt God was calling me to surrender them at His feet. And I did. A year and a half ago, I began to be coached by one of my mentors. Harriet is our District Supervisor and is one of the godliest women I have…

Nothing is impossible
About six weeks ago, an opportunity was presented to me. This opportunity is currently THE #1 item on my list of dreams (bucket list). It is the chance to go on an 11 day study tour in Israel. I have never wanted anything so much in my life. I would know some of the people…

Encourage one another: Lessons from my Brother

These are a few of my favorite things…
It is no secret to anyone who knows me that I love musicals. I think periodically throughout the week, we should spontaneously break out into song. It would make life much more fun and enriching! One of the best songs from a musical is “My Favorite Things” from the The Sound of Music. A portion of…
