Are You Sure This Boy Is Mine?

By

When I gave birth to my first child and they put him in my arms and said it’s a boy, I responded, “Are you sure you have the right one?”  To which my beaming husband replied, “Yes, you’re still connected.”  So I guess by the sheer fact that he was connected to my umbilical cord and came out of my womb, they assumed he was mine!!

Bravery Isn’t Only…

By

    You already know that the Lord has been taking me on a brave new journey, showing me that courage is rooted in courageous faith.

I get to partner with the Lord in His work, as the Holy Spirit transforms a person from the inside out. And let me be honest, I love seeing my life transformed. I am a living, walking, honest-to-goodness testimony of the faithfulness of God and the everyday miracles He still performs. Just ask those who know me in real life! The change on the outside reflects a change on the inside, with a countenance that reflects peace instead of anger,…
