I am so, so thankful that the God I serve loves me. He specifically, purposefully loves me with unconditional love.

God has put my foot on a solid Rock. When sorrow threatens to drag me deeper than my heart can bear, He reaches down and pulls me up.

God IS love. Scripture says so. But God is also a fierce Father who will protect His children.

I have never felt so desolate as the early morning when I was told my son was dead. I knew if I didn’t remind my heart of truth, I’d be lost

Your story matters. It’s being written to be shared as a testimony to God’s goodness, His faithful love and His enabling grace.

Jesus promises that the burden He asks us to bear He will make bearable when we bring it to Him.

God does not always intervene. But He always comes alongside. He always offers comfort and promises that grief doesn’t last forever.

This life of travail won’t last forever either. By death or transformation, we will be freed from this earthly tent.

when I rest completely in Jehovah-Shalom, the LORD Who is Himself my Peace, I am safe. Not safe from all harm, but safe in His love and care

Jesus is the great Bridegroom and the church His Bride. Those of us who love Him, follow Him and wait for Him will not be disappointed!

Life often devastating filled with circumstances. That’s the bad news. But we don’t have to face them alone. That’s the good news.

My Heavenly Father's love is strong enough to hold me fast no matter what perils I face.

My heart can forget the truth when life falls apart. It's then I must remind it that God is faithful and His love endures forever.

You think...that you are forgotten because of your nothingness and weakness and poverty. This is the very reason you are remembered.

A pastor friend says, “Your misery is your ministry.” I think he’s right.

Life is hard. Death is awful. But thanks to Jesus, death doesn't have the last word.

Join me for a month of exploring what the Bible says about grief. It's a great way to begin a new year & to feed hope to your heart.

 Bereaved moms can join me in a quiet setting for a weekend of rest, renewal and restoration through fellowship, Scripture and sharing.

Lord, this season reminds me that whenever I am weak, You are strong. Is it alright if I grieve around You? I have to act strong...

 I walk in two worlds–on earth and in heaven.  I savor the sweet joy of the “now” but ache for the even sweeter joy of the “forever”.
