This is something my precious grandma always said to me any my siblings growing up. “You can grow old in numbers but never grow up.” She was saying, you may get old by the number of years you’ve been alive but never loose that childlike heart. Enjoy life and live it to the fullest. My grandma sure did. She loved being funny and silly. I can remember one time she and my dad had a blast on his motorcycle. My grandma grew up during the early 1900’s and during the depression she had her family. She never had much because times were so hard and she never complained either. So to her these special moments of being silly or enjoying life, was her greatest treat in life. Not money, but family. She was forever “Motorcycle Grammy” after that. She may have been around 80 years old but it didn’t stop

I can only imagine what a glorious day it is in Heaven today and are they celebrating in Heaven today? It’s my grandma’s birthday, which she called the “Turd of March” in her little voice with laughter underneath. I know that when you receive your reward of entering Heaven, you receive the gift of never aging or celebrate birthdays, but I can’t help but wonder if my grandma, in some way, celebrates it. She loved her birthday even though it was a big deal when she was growing up. Possibly because she grew up in the early 1900’s and things were scarce in her family. How could it not be with 10 children? Times had to be so hard with raising that many little ones. I do know that even if money was scarce, love was not. She always told me, as a child, that growing up was hard but

“Go into all of the world preaching the gospel and making disciples.” Isn’t this the great commission or doctrine that churches put as their highest declaration to accomplish, It is a statement that Christ surely wants us to do. Otherwise why would He have ever mentioned it? Does it really have any bearing on us or who He wants us to be? I believe it absolutely does. Why would we want to hold onto all of the great knowledge that we have, and keep it to ourselves? Why wouldn’t we want others to become Christ Like as we are trying to do? So is it our duty then? You might call it that but I would like to call it, having His Heart. He was always sitting down teaching others. Asking them to walk with Him, partake in the events and gatherings. His heart did this, so why can’t ours?

How do you even begin healing broken hearts and begin a new journey in life? If you’ve been hurt so badly that you don’t even care to live past the next second, where and how do you even find it in you to keep going? Are these questions that you have asked yourself or recently felt in your heart? So many of us have felt this way at one time or another. It’s called grief and being overwhelmed with it to the point of have PSTD. Yes, this feeling is a real thing and yes, trauma can cause any human to have PTSD. We often think of that term for only our Service men and women to have but in an abusive situation or on ongoing emotional or mental abuse, it can really happen to us. The trauma causes our brain to be affected and it can cause it to

The saddest story of my life is my abortion. It has been the most painful hurt and definitely the deepest hurt of my heart. There are days still, that it is so hard to forgive myself. I get triggered and I have to go back through my healing steps and remind myself that I am forgiven. It’s a lifetime process for me I believe. There are moments I wish I could hold her close to me and kiss her beautiful face that I didn’t get to see. December 28 is an especially hard day, it’s the day she was due to be born. And even after 34 years, that day after Mother’s Day is still one of the most difficult days I have. You see, I let someone talk me into having an abortion because he was worried about his reputation in the small community we lived in. We began

This is my own personal story about my journey of being a breast cancer survivor and learning how to thrive after healing. Actually it is truly God’s story. Surviving Breast Cancer I can still remember the day I found the lump in my right breast. It’s a moment that completely catches you off guard. It’s one of those moments you don’t ever expect to happen in your life, yet when it does you can’t believe it’s real. That was how I felt that day. I thought there’s no way there’s a lump here, I’ll check it again in a couple days because I know it’ll be gone. It wasn’t. It wasn’t going to disappear. So I did what every other person would hopefully do and made an appointment with my gynecologist. She was able to get me in within a week. That week was long. Wondering about the what if’s

By embracing our journey to healing from a life where we experienced deep hurt or pain at some point, we can begin to touch our hurting hearts. Pain sometimes may stem from childhood, teenage years, or adulthood and often the most profound pain comes from those we love most, leaving us grappling with wounds that feel as if they have nothing to do with us—and yet, they cut deeply into our hearts. Acknowledging the Pain Healing begins with acknowledging the hurt. It’s important to face the pain, recognize its impact, and bring it into perspective. Ask yourself: Will I allow this pain to continue stealing my joy, my hope, and my life? Or will I take back the authority over my life and embark on a journey of healing and restoration? Breaking Free from Lies The enemy thrives on lies and deceit, whispering that you are a victim, powerless to
