I came across this picture and it really moved me! It is a father and daughter, caught in a moment of pure joy. The look on the daughter’s face is one of pure joy and abandonment of the ordinary. Her father’s arms are secure on her as he lifts her higher than she could ever … More Higher Daddy, Higher!
If you have, or have ever had, obstacles in your way to what you know you should be accomplishing, then you need to hear this word! All obstacles are a LIE.

WEEK FOUR I have been thinking lately how our physical health is taken for granted. For example, I don’t give my health a second thought…until I get sick, or hurt. Then it’s a different story. I become self-absorbed, whiney, and sometimes (by my own admission) hard to be around. But I had one life defining … More My Lord, My Healer
I’m so excited to be expecting a new grandchild in February of 2016! I love all my grandies and adding one more is a great blessing to me. Another blessing to me is the ability to find out the gender of the baby months before it is actually born! I feel more connected to the … More Boy or Girl?
