Welcome!
Welcome to my blog page. I am so happy and grateful that you are here.
My heart for this space is to bring solid truth to STAND on from God’s Word when life throws you a curveball. When you need reassurance that you will make it through a rough time, it’s been God’s Word that I have leaned on through the years and will continue to soak up all the TRUTHS found in His love letter to us.
Don’t you wish we could live in a place where our day runs smoothly,
there is no suffering…
no pain…
no broken relationships…
no sickness…
no financial issues...
just peace on all fronts. That, my friends, is waiting for us in heaven. But while on this side, Jesus tells us in John 16:33 – ‘In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’ So because Jesus has overcome we can live an overcoming life.
I bet if we were sitting face to face you might not “feel” like an overcomer! Life may have thrown you a curveball or two. You may be trying to navigate that situation, maybe even wondering…
Where is God?
Why did He allow this to happen?
What am I supposed to do with this life now?
This isn’t the life I had planned.
I understand as I had a major curveball thrown at me. One that I have been walking through, and still am. But what I can tell you, God is there. He sees it all, even when we can’t see it, and He is working on our behalf.
As women, we need each other. We need all the different gifts that God put inside of us. Too many times we think we are competing with each other when in fact, we all want…
REAL connections.
REAL relationships with other women to sit with us,
to really hear our hearts,
to be a safe place,
and to help us walk through life’s challenges.
God created us for community! We were created to connect!
January 20, 2019, I had the honor of being by my husband’s side as he took his last breath in his temporary home and entered his permanent home, heaven. He battled cancer five times in a 12 year period. His last battle was the fiercest one that lasted eight months. It was filled with trauma after trauma. Ronn was such a fighter. I know when he stood before Jesus, he heard, “well done good and faithful servant.”
During our battle with cancer it was God’s truth that I stood on. I would often say, “don’t ask me how I feel, ask me what I know.” Meaning, my feelings can’t be trusted and neither can yours.
But what I know of God and His word it can be TRUSTED!
‘The grass withers, the flower fades, BUT the Word of our God will STAND forever.’
Isaiah 40:8
So wherever life has you in this moment, whatever overwhelming situation you are facing. I ask you the same thing,
What do you know?
What truth are you leaning on from God’s word?
At the foundational level is the power of choice:
To STAND on what we feel.
Or, to STAND on the truth of God’s word.
At the beginning of our cancer journey God gave me Isaiah 41:10 -
Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be dismayed, because I am your God.
I will strength you.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I can testify that through the fierce cancer battle – He did!Through my first year without my husband – He has!And through the days to come – He will!
Friend, these promises are for you too. In the weeks to come I will bring a fresh word to stand on. I’m excited about this journey, and my prayer is this will be an encouragement to you as you journey through life.
