The church bell rings. It is six o’clock in the morning. With each step the soles of her stilettos make a new print into the fresh powdered snow that had just fallen overnight. The sun is slowly peaking over the snow-covered mountains on the horizon. The trees look like crystal masterpieces as the rays are…
It’s a beautiful morning. As I sit here enjoying my morning coffee, I find myself pondering over all that has been going on in my mind over the past couple of weeks. And the topic can pretty much be summed up with these few words “You’re about to turn 30 years old.. and what have…
Over the past several days or should I say weeks I have found myself encounter the difficulty of making animal sounds. As I am trying to teach my 10-month old the names and sounds of farm animals I wonder who is more amused by it, she or I. Whenever it comes to the goat I…
Finally, peace! As I plop down on the couch, exhausted, I catch myself smiling at how God communicates to me. I have been chasing my, today, 10-month old daughter around the house, digging potting soil out of her mouth and from underneath her fingernails, closing cabinets behind her, and picking kitty hair out from between…

Destiny always seemed such a big and unattainable word to me. What is destiny? That thing everyone wants to achieve?

And Merriam-Webster puts it this way: a predetermined course of events often held to be an…
It’s 11:43pm on Thursday night, February 16th and I finally worked up enough ‘guts’ to write down the events of August 10, 2009, the most horrific day of my life. Until today I got sick just by the thought of it. But somehow I managed writing one and a half pages. It is tough, tougher…
