“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you” James 4: 7-8 Get up: Not on your own, but with His strength! If you resist the devil in Jesus name, if you order Satan away from you, using your fighter verses, the devil and […]
Onions
I am like an onion that is getting its layers peeled back. The outer peel is what we wear, music and places we like. It doesn’t matter. The next layer is a little more important where we grew up, what our childhood was like, our personality type. The third layer is our relationships, what we […]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! It has taken me a long time to get past the “bah humbug syndrome “. It use to be my favorite time of the year when the kids were small. All the hustle and bustle and cutting down the real tree every year. Darrell and I started a tradition of buying a small […]

“The other side of Fear is Freedom” Proverbs 3: 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.

Wobbly Road – Part 7
Facing My Fear and Being Honest I wanted change so I had to face the fear and be honest. Stop faking it, be real. This begins the healing. I brought all my pain to God. Healing doesn’t mean it never existed. It just means the anger does not control me any longer. My sins were […]

These words grip my heart with shame and terror. I am not proud of my past. I didn’t really like myself. How could […]
Wobbly Road: Part 4
We are more likely to fall back on the same patterns of behaviors and actions, even when we know we are just repeating ourselves. While in the Air Force I met another young man. I was married to him for 17 years., and two beautiful boys came into this world. We used the money my Daddy […]
Wobbly Road: Part 3
My Dad left me the house in his will but with the stipulation my stepmother could live in it until she passed, and I was to go live with my sister who I didn’t even know. She lived in Gaylord Michigan and had 1 son my age. So, I was uprooted from everything I had […]
Wobbly Road: Part 2
I really did have a pretty good childhood from 8 years to 14 years. I also had some really scary times. We will just say I can remember learning about adult issues inappropriate for my age at least four times. Twice from being left alone with strangers and twice from family. When I tried to […]
