Can I speak bluntly for a moment? Women need to stop wearing masks and stop assuming that everyone else has it all together. We need to be real and transparent and share the good the bad and the ugly. (No, I don't mean to rant or tell all.. Face it, nobody wants to hear it …
To SHINE or Not to SHINE
Ever had one of those moments that make you realize the real deep stuff down in your heart? The "man, I sure do need Jesus. Because I still have dark in my heart" kind of moment. The moments when you slip and flesh comes out in your attitude? NO? Really? Well, …
New Year New Me
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. …
Take Off The Mask
Romans 3:10 (NIV) ~ As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one. Romans 3:23, 24 (NIV) ~ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came from Christ Jesus. There's something to be said …
Just Take That Step
I have gotten into the habit of saying that I have a "brown thumb". Truth is, I have had a LAZY thumb. Yes, you heard that right. It's a matter of discipline. Remembering to water, feed, and weed these plants. It's a choice. To watch them grow to their full potential or let them starve …
Reflections
Like a lot of others, as this year comes to an end, I am reflecting. Reflecting on the past year. The choices made. The changes that need to be made in the coming year. There is always room to grow. Room for improvement. We have never "arrived". We have to keep …

Well, it has truly inspired me to be even more thankful. Thankful..Grateful..for even the not so good things. It's becoming a habit..a positive change by choice, to …
Being Real About Insecurity
I'm back!!!!! 🙂 As I was walking this morning through my neighborhood, I knew that I was supposed to share something today. I told you in my last post that I felt the nudge to be more TRANSPARENT and VULNERABLE with you all. So, here I am..and I hope this post blesses you. There is a …
Transparent, Vulnerable and Unashamed
There's just something about sharing the deepest parts of yourself with others. The ugly parts that God has turned into something beautiful. It's a vulnerable place to be in. An out of your comfort zone place. Yet, it's a place that God is glorified in. I am reminded in Acts 22...when Paul asks to speak to …
A Beautiful Metamorphosis
Here in South Georgia, we are FINALLY getting some REAL Fall weather! To us, a day with a high in the upper 60's or even low 70's is amazing! Especially, with a nice cool breeze. Changes can be nice sometimes. Other times, not so much. Life is ALL about change though. Think …
