Walking By Faith


It's incredibly hard to walk down a road when you don't know where it leads to.  You are unsure of what to expect; what it will be like.  The only thing you are certain of, is that you have no choice but to travel down this unfamiliar road.

 Imagine this.  You are happy.  You have an awesome job.  In your eyes, your life is perfect and you think that it can't get any better than this.  You have a beautiful home, an amazing group of friends that you can't imagine doing life without.  You have finally found the perfect church and your family is thriving.  But what if?

 What if you lost your home?  What if something happened with your job?  What if the life you love so much was suddenly ripped apart?  What if?  What if God wanted you to walk down a different road?  What if He was asking you to walk by faith and not by sight?  Would you try to do anything to keep life as you know it?  What would you do?  Walking by faith is difficult.  If you are like me, I have to know the entire plan.  I want to know every detail before I can make a decision.  But sometimes, that doesn't happen.  Sometimes, we know that there is only one logical answer to a problem and we have to take that leap of faith.  We have to choose to walk by faith and not by sight.  We have to say to God, "okay God, I am trusting you through this".  I can tell you that walking by faith isn't always easy for me.  At times, it makes me uneasy, it makes me anxious, it makes me question things and even God.  But what if?

 What if God was moving you; your life, your family to set you up for your destiny?  What if He needed you somewhere to minister to someone specific because of your skills and talents or because of your testimony?  What if there was a bigger blessing waiting for you and your family and all that was required of you to receive it was to walk by faith?  What if?  What if God was trying to make your already perfect life unimaginable?  What if your purpose in life is about to be revealed?  You know, something that will completely fill you and give you purpose again.  What if you just allowed yourself to have complete faith and trust in God; the one who already knows what's up ahead?  What if?

Are you at a place where God is needing you to walk down an unfamiliar road?  One where there are so many unknowns.  Is He asking you to give up something in your life that you love; that you couldn't imagine ever changing?  Is He asking you to move?  Is He asking you to give up your job and pursue something else?  Is He asking you to walk by faith and trust Him?  If He is asking you to do something, remember, there is a reason, a purpose; He already knows every single detail.  What if you choose to walk by faith?  What if?

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessings, I am a mom of two.  I am also thi

A Letter to my Boys

Cody and Owen, If I could give you any kind of advice it would be to just live.  Live your lives to the fullest.  Don't be afraid to go on new adventures.  Travel the world.  Don't be afraid to experience new things.  Meet new people.  Try new foods-at least once.  Do not ever be okay with the status quo.  Take risks.  Dream bigger.  When you are told no, don't let it defeat you.  Let it drive you.  Never lose that drive to become better men.  You only get one shot at this life, don't waste a single minute of it. Most importantly though, have a heart that loves God.  Put Him first above all else.  Live a life that honors Him.  He will watch over your coming and going. Because one day, you will leave home to forge your own way in this world.  At times, it will seem big and scary.  He will be your protector.  He will guide you along the paths you are to walk down.  Remember to be still and listen for His voice.  Consult Him on every decision.  No matter how big or

It’s hard to believe that this will be the second Christmas without my boys in it.  But even in their absence, they will still be here in memory and carried throughout the day in my heart.  Ever since this parental alienation journey began, it’s been my goal to still celebrate them and keep up with the traditions I’ve always done; even if they wouldn’t be here to see it.  Their stockings are hung, their picture with Santa has been placed on the top of the piano and their artwork from preschool have been displayed.  All in attempt to keep them alive and present with us all.   Boys, we may not be together, but I am always here.  I pray that your Christmas is filled with unspeakable joy and love as you move into the New Year.  I am praying big things over your lives and future, and I need you to know that you are loved, you are wanted and we will never give up on you.
