Have you ever been picked on in school and felt like a target of everyone’s wrath? Well, I was and in fact I dealt with it the entire time I was growing up. I remember vividly many times my head was smashed against bathroom walls, I was picked up and thrown into garbage cans, they tripped me while I was walking, they punched me and verbally abused me. Many times I even had adults I trusted stand by and watch it happen and did nothing about it. As I grew older it became worse and more often than not the kids would block school exits so I couldn’t get out the door to go home safely. I lived my entire childhood in fear where it affected everything in my life including my grades and social life. As a result of all that I had been through I also suffered from serious insomnia and paranoia. My home life was no better because I lacked a solid foundation, support, protection and the love I needed to survive. Read More

I am a mother to a beautiful 7 year old son and I often wonder if I am doing a good job. My goal is to raise him to be loving, compassionate, giving and respectful to others because in this world today we don’t have enough people like that and these little people are the future.
I found out some sad news about a friend of mine who lost their family pet and on top of all that her son is sick. My son must have over heard me talking about it earlier to my husband because later in the day he came up to me with a very sad expression on his face. I asked him what was wrong and he said “I am sad.” I said, “Why are you sad Brandon”? He said, “Because I wish the cat was mine so that I could cry instead of Kaelen. He then went on to say I wish I was sick too so he didn’t have to be sick.” In that moment I couldn’t help but to hug him and tell him how proud I was of his expression of love. It brought a tear to my eye and I knew in my heart it was good. His expression of love inspires me.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. ~John 15:13 ESV

Do you feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel? If you answered yes then you are not alone and it’s my hope that this special message will encourage you to seek the Light through these dark moments you are experiencing.
I have found myself in this place many times and one of my lowest moments was before my husband and I gave our life to Jesus, we had lost almost everything we worked for and in order to survive we had to sell most of our belongings. We were months behind on the mortgage, we had over 100,000.00 in credit card debt, they took our new truck that had only 10 payments left to pay and we had no idea how we were going to make money to eat and some contractors failed to pay us close to 30,000.00 they owed us combined. On top of all that we had no medical insurance and my health was beginning to decline.
During that time it was difficult to understand why it was happening to us and we felt like everything we knew was being ripped away from us. Read More
