My nature in the flesh and the need for expediency and perfection is a great source stress, worry, irritability, and anxiety that eats me alive and robs me of peace—my mind spins—and it does so quickly.

Summer of Healing

2017-10-15T17:13:27+00:00 August 3rd, 2016|

Those closest to me know I’ve deemed Summer 2016 as “The Summer of Healing.” Because of the stresses of life there was only so much emotional healing I could deal with at any given time.

Choose a Lifestyle of Blessing

2017-10-15T17:13:28+00:00 April 15th, 2016|

Usually when the Lord brings me a book on a specific topic, it’s because I’ve been wrestling with an idea or a concept for a while and have been praying over [...]

SOS! Relaxation Tips

Well, I wouldn't say I'm the most chill person in the world, and I stay pretty intense at my "normal," but there are times when my internal anxiety, tension, and stress go through the roof. And I can feel how short my fuse is. I wanted to murder my husband and child several times over the last week and they were nothing but a delight (sorry guys, it's me not you. really.).
