Being Real: Resolution

Resolution is something that we often long for, but don’t really know how to get there. Sometimes it’s a lack of trust, too much pride or a fear of change.

You Are Kept

Being Real: Adultery

You Are Justified

Studying who and what we are in Christ has been a blessing to me and many others that have commented on the posts along the way.

Pulled Down, Worn Out and Struggling to Overcome

Lately, I’ve been struggling with this thing called life. It has been pulling me down, wearing me out and I just can’t seem to get a handle on it. After a vacation you’d think I’d be refreshed and ready to roll again, but I’m simply not. As a planner and struggling to overcome perfectionist, I […]

You Are Imperfect

Perfection is something that we all struggle with at some time and in some way in our lifetimes. Whether it be the fear of failure, keeping up with the Jones’ or a desire to look better than everyone else, we all face seeking perfection. I spent many years as a striving perfectionist and though I […]
