I can’t remember when I started doing this, but I guess several years ago I began asking God to give me a word for each year, something to focus on, something prophetic that He wanted to speak over my life. In 2016, my word was “family.” That’s when we met Jessica and Stephanie and began… Read More Words
I’m sitting in my office pondering the things of God. November is Orphan Awareness Month. There are so many issues that have a month dedicated to awareness and action. Obviously, orphan awareness is close to my heart. My husband, Danny, and I always knew we would want to one day adopt children. We saw it… Read More Orphan Awareness Month
Life has been quite tumultuous lately. The escalating tension that builds in our home as we try to love and support two new children who didn’t know love or parents prior to stepping foot into our home is wearying.

My husband, Danny, and I have 4 daughters. That’s right! Four girls! Two of those girls were born naturally through our union as husband and wife. The other two came to us from foster care. (I’ll share more of that story at a later date). We did things quite backwards with regards to the status… Read More Everything is Backwards
Recently, I felt the call to begin to write the songs that God was placing in my heart. I then called upon my friend, Dave Phillips, for help. Together, we’ve written several songs, and we have a few more in the works. What a cathartic process! This Sunday, we will unveil one of the songs… Read More I AM
As I sit here and write, my hands are shaking. I’m actually writing because the best thing to do in these situations is to try and take my mind off of it.
