The path to eternity starts at the base of a mountain. From the beginning of the path, we look up towards heaven. The steep climb looks impossible. Some just never attempt it. What’s the use? Some convince themselves they can do it. They can do anything if they just try. If they want it bad … More The Plateau
Have you ever been so distracted by life that you didn’t realize where it was taking you? I have. Have you ever looked up one day and wondered how you got so buried in mistakes? Me too. Have you ever tried to stop a boulder of bad choices from barrelling down a path that you … More All it Takes is a Whisper
Note to self: You ARE capable of trusting what you cannot see. I used to really love roller coasters. Something about the anticipation that builds as I wait in line, inching closer as the mighty beast roars over my head chased by screams of panic and delight. I craved the adrenaline rush of conquering fear … More I Trust You More

When it comes to people, I’m very patient. I’m always holding out hope someone will finally change. I’ll calmly explain a concept ten different ways to help someone understand.

I feel as if I’m in a battle with life lately. I’ve been winning. It’s as if I have somehow realized all of my opponent’s best tricks, my coach has handed me the exact right weapon to overcome each tactic, and I have been invincible – for a while. But instead of accepting defeat, this … More Bring It
My husband loves going to Las Vegas. He says there is a thrill and a rush that comes with the potential of winning money. And from watching him and his friends gamble, I’ve seen first-hand the excitement that builds with each win. They turn into these fascinating creatures, getting louder and louder, high-fiving each other … More How to Have Faith
Moving has a way of showing you all your stuff and forcing you to make some tough decisions about what to keep and what to throw away.
