Faith is the substance of hope and foundation from which it grows. Faith activates purposeful actions that reveal the heartseed belief. Faith makes way for purpose living.
You can mark my words, something is about to break. I have repeated that phrase over and over since I first heard the words in a song. My husband and I sat down to discuss the upcoming year in January and I confessed then that I knew (deep in my knower) that March would be…
Living de-stressed seems impossible on most days and usually only seems like a fantasy on others. But you can create a life that is distressed and purpose filled! Instead of letting stress drive, it’s time to take the wheel. We are not designed to live in stress, but the world seems determined to keep us…
There was nothing in my entire being that wanted to go out. A cold front pushed in and dragged along with it a headache that was determined to lodge in my brain. The rain made everything grey instead of the fresh green of spring I expected. And just to keep things interesting my Ph balance…
The writings of Max Lucado have a way of shining a light in my life on those areas that I had no idea were even in the dark. His unique storytelling style prepares my heart to be in a place of ready, willing and able to experience the light. “Cast of Characters” continued my journey…

Speaking in front of a crowd can be a terrifying experience for most people. I willingly volunteer to step up in front of the mike (now that I have overcome my fear of that technology). My nerves may shake a little before I get up in front, but they settle down once I can start…
Sunday school lessons push me to learn more and be more. Leading a class were the average person is 15 years my senior only makes the drive more intense. Standing in front of a class full of people that have centuries of knowledge between them makes me have to know more. Teaching to learn gets…
