God simply told me: Comfort Her. I was disappointed when I realized how much student loan debt I would have if I began college this Fall to pursue a dream. See, I knew that I was supposed to pursue a degree in counseling. I just knew that it was finally going to become a realization. …
Tuned Out and Tuned In
Quiet. Unsettling. Different. I like it. One week into the social media break and it's funny how it came after my 31 Days of Being Present in Real Life series. The one that I purposely did NOT complete. Yeah. God does have a sense of humor. So, here I am. Learning things about myself. Listening …

(One of my favorite verses. I even wear it daily on a bracelet I had made.) Romans 12:12 ~ Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. As I start my day, I am so blessed to look at this Thankful Tree on my kitchen table and see the leaves of thanks that …

Missed Blessings
That nudge I get, the one that I can't ignore, that's The Holy Spirit. My JESUS living in me. Convicting. Pushing. Nudging. HIS presence.

Memories in Pictures
If you know me then you know that I have a love for photography. Self-taught, lots of trial and error, lots and lots of practice, and my Daddy was an avid photographer while I was growing up. He bought me my first 35 mm when I was in 6th grade and provided all of the …
