On Christ the solid rock I stand...All other ground is sinking sand.

About Me

My prayer and purpose is to love the LORD with all my heart, soul and strength. I want to encourage people in life towards the Truth--Christ. I love my husband, Greg, my family (including all my nieces and nephews), my Bible Study girls, Friends, Laughing and having deep conversations. My favorite thing is sitting at the beach and taking it all in while listening to my IPod. I love to be quiet by rushing water, stars and mountains. The coolest thing is to watch things grow--from flowers to most importantly people. Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

Heroes:

My dad--he was amazingly kind and loving and full of integrity--his life pointed to Christ. Anyone, even unnoticed, who seeks Christ faithfully living only for his name and renown is my hero.

The gravity of God

For some reason I read in Job this morning. Job's family, health, and wealth and respect was taken away with God's permission by Satan. The beginning of Job says that Job was blameless and upright a...

So, what do you do?

I have been getting the what do you do question a lot lately. I am living a backwards life from our culture where you need to have children or be rolling in the cash to not have a paying job. I am ...

From Drought to Growth

This summer has been one big dust bowl. I spend time with God in the mornings on our porch looking over our backyard. Until this week, I have been looking at brown grass and tons of Saharan dust. ...

Roots

I spent some time this morning reflecting on the last ten years of my life. Ten years ago in May I graduated from college. I was more clueless with a degree than when I first stepped on campus. I g...

The unseen or the illusion?

I feel as if my faith and vision teeter between two worlds. The one of the unseen and the one of tangible things here on earth. "Walk by faith and not by sight." When I reflect, I know God is in co...
