see what he sees

I was having a conversation with my mother in law Saturday about a picture of herself that she did not like. We all have them. Pictures that look great except for that lady in the middle or on the end or sandwiched between those other two cute girls. As women, we...

Do I see me as he sees me | A question I ask myself on self awareness. My husband is always and proud of the image he captures of me with his camera, even if I'm not at my best or ready for the camera, but what would happen I looked at myself the way he sees me. Can the filter in my brain use the same filter in his camera? #selfworth #selfconscience #selfworth #psotiveselfimage

an afternoon in an african chapel

I do not believe that God is a God of coincidence. I think He loves details and plans as much as I do. 2 weeks ago today, I got to spend my afternoon with a group of women. African women. Elderly women. Honored and revered women. Women, many of whom have known and...

An Afternoon in and African Chapel - March 25 has always been a day that stood out to me. Well, atleast after 2008. It was the day that I was diagnosed with cancer. It was a defining moment for me. But in 2017, God replaced that story with one of His own using the story of Abraham to remind me of His faithfulness in my obedience. All on a dirt floored chapel in the maize of Malawi, Africa.

if I were in a speech class

If I were a college student studying Speech Communications as I did 16 years ago, I feel like there would have been a moment this week where we would have dissected a very publicly delivered speech. We would have talked about delivery, preparation, content, and...
