It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”

The Footprints We Leave
The picture above is one that speaks volumes. This is our high school classmate at his daughter’s graduation from medical school. It is indeed a proud moment for a father to see his daughter following in his footsteps. What makes a daughter want to be a doctor like her dad?

Perfectly Imperfect
If you are anything like me, sometimes you wish life came with the perfect questions followed by perfect answers. Details come perfectly packaged with little or no mess.

Who Am I ?
Not so long ago I got hit with some news that should have caused me to become frayed at the edges. After my initial— ‘What??’, I proceeded to get some clarification.

Here in our sphere of the universe it’s the beginning of a new week. Sometimes I wonder what God ‘sees’. I call it a new week – He calls it ‘what’? I don’t know. The more I know, the more I realize I don’t know. A friend of mine sent me this picture she capturedContinue reading “When I Forget”
I Hate Them Two
I find I have little time to waste. Some days I teach for 9 hours between two campuses. However, there are those in-between moments—the ones I waste worrying over things I can’t change.
