Good Morning and Happy Friday!! Another week has come to a close and I thought it was about time I did a little update on both my health and what God has been teaching me through it all. My health has been a challenge over the last month. I have been dealing with fluid around […]

Over the last few months, I have had days when it is hard to find the joy in my circumstances.  The ups and downs of my health, my emotions and simply being tired and frustrated, and not feeling well, has really challenged me to find joy in my daily living.  Surgery number 9 is under […]

As a follower of Jesus, we have within us the capacity to act in ways we would never be able to act on our own. When we accept Christ into our lives, the Holy Spirit fills us with the Fruit of the Spirit. We are filled with the ability to act with love, peace, joy, […]
