Through His Strength, For His Glory

My Truth

My goal in writing for thirty one straight days is to honestly share my journey with others. My hope is that those who are struggling too will know they are not alone and find some encouragement in my words. In addition, I want to explain to people who do not struggle with depression the truth of what the struggle looks like from the inside. The truth is hard to hear and even harder to live. Admitting the truth of how we struggle means there is one less thing we have to hide. One less burden ... read more

Holding Callie

One look at the gorgeous Calico kitten and I was in love. We didn't need another animal, but I just could not get this kitten off my mind. Eventually the cuteness factor won't us over and we added Callie to our home. Yes, I understand her name shows no creativity but she really is a Callie all the way.

She will let my daughter hold her and will sleep on my husband but she will ... read more

Stories of Truth

I used to think the Bible was a series of really neat stories all packaged neatly together in one big book. I love the story of Noah because it had a rainbow.

When Trust Falters

Trust. It’s my word of the year. It has proved to be exceedingly difficult maintain. My verse of the year is, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5  I’m just going to be honest – it has been hard to trust Him with all of my heart. Really, it has been hard to trust Him with half of my heart. So many tragic events have occurred all over the world. My own world has been wrought with difficulty, sadness, and fear. I have found myself wondering ... read more

Hold on to Hope

Hope is my favorite word. I have clung to hope when all else appeared to be going wrong. I have written about hope, spoken about hope, and begged others to hold on to hope. I have always said, “Hold tight to hope. No matter how thin the strand, hold on to hope.”  I had manufactured my own strand of hope that built upon positive thinking and a belief that it would always get better. During this incredibly hard season my strand of hope snapped in two. It just broke. Though I still held on to my ... read more
