Looking Upon Jesus

I lay in the stillness…baby asleep and my body is aching. Co-sleeping, 2 years in. I have been doing pregnancy, baby stages and motherhood for eleven years. My oldest is ten. Pregnancy with her and all subsequent pregnancies were really “a breeze”. I had the exhaustion and hormonal changes that took me for a ride,……

Nothing Short of a Miracle

Today, I was able to meet with a group of ladies at church and share the miracles I have seen in my short life as a literal extension of my parents, refugees, survivors of the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia. One member ran after me to ask if I’d share more stories one day. Flabbergasted……

In Matthew chapter six, you will find these words in the New International Version: 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God……

Operate Out of His Goodness

Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” My eyes squinted open, hesitant to face the morning. I had already been woken up twice in……
