He Loves Me

He Loves Me

Morning Meditation: This iconic verse reminds me just how much God loves me. He sees beyond my sin into my soul. He sees the beauty He created. I can come before Him, surrender, repent, and know I’m forgiven because He loves me. #morningmeditation #surrender #forgiveness

Letting Go

Letting Go

Morning Meditation: Forgiveness became easier when I realized it didn’t mean welcoming the offender back into my life. Rather, it meant letting go of the anger, bitterness, and the need for vengeance and surrendering them to God. #morningmeditation

Stand Firm Under Pressure

Stand Firm Under Pressure

Morning Meditation: Sometimes it’s hard to stand firm when I’m under attack, but today’s verse encourages me to look to the Lord for the strength to do so. #morningmeditation #standfirm

Father’s Day-A Reflection

Father’s Day is sometimes difficult for me. Most years I ignore the multitude of Father’s Day posts that fill my social media News Feed, but some years, the words of praise and love bring tears of sorrow and anger to my heart.
The intensity of the emotion surprises me because I forgave my father years ago. Today, I want to revisit a post I wrote a few years ago. Perhaps my words will comfort other survivors who struggle with the celebrating Father’s Day.

Father’s Day-A Reflection

I just completed the draft of my memoir. Writing about my father brought the pain and sorrow to the surface once again. With Father’s Day approaching this weekend, I want to revisit a post I wrote two years ago. Perhaps my words will comfort other survivors who struggle with the celebrating Father’s Day.
