In July 2008, I started a new job. My mother said this could be a turning point for you. I replied I have had many jobs. This one is not even a career position like some in the past have been. I am thankful for having the job. I had been having car trouble all [...]

My desire for a man has been my downfall. I have always been willing to sacrifice my morals and values when it comes to relationships with men. When I was 13, I had my first sexual experience, because I wanted to hang on to a friendship with a guy. Of course the sexual experience did [...]

I finally watched the movie about Esther, of course they used dramatic license with the story. The character in the movie did not have a pleasant personality. Her personality was such you not would think she deserved favor. The Bible gives you the feeling that Esther was a quiet beautiful woman inside and out. The [...]

I have wondered what is the difference between faith and foolishly believing in something. I discovered the answer while watching Veggie Tales with my children. This episode was about Gideon. My ex-husband had shared Gideon’s  story with me. He explained to me that is  how he knew God wanted him to preach.  Gideon defeated many [...]

Today as I sat in my car before I entered the library. When I got out of my car after eating my salad , I reflected on when I would have to throw food away so I could enter the Library and how I didn’t want too, because I had to walk or catch the [...]

At my youngest daughter’s choir rehearsal, the children praise dancers where doing their rehearsal and a little boy was in the group of praise dancers. I thought to myself his mother should be ashamed of herself  having him do  a “girly” activity like that. Then I Remember David danced to praise God till his clothes [...]

When I was growing up I loved Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Cinderella was the only one that had to work. Snow White and Sleeping  were  rescued from never death experiences. I thought I could not wait to find prince charming and for him to love me. The bible states he who finds a wife fines [...]
