When You Feel Overwhelmed
It’s been a while. There are many reasons why, but for now I’ll just share one – Foster Care. I don’t know how much of this journey I will share, but as God gives me words, I promise to let you in on the beautiful broken road we are walking. We live in a world where we are challenged to simplify, organize, and compartmentalize our lives into cute planners with holiday stickers and journals for every occasion.

Do you ever go throughout your day and forget to pray? Do you want to have a deeper relationship with God, but truly practicing the
What If I Fail?
Peace in Every Place: Week 2 What If I Fail? I pressed send again. I put my heart on the page of paper and I put it out there for people to see and critique. The goal was acceptance and approval. When rejection comes from people who seem to know what they are doing, it gives you a sense of failure and frustration. I followed all the rules and crossed every t, but my work wasn’t good enough. Have you ever put yourself out there? You go out on a limb thinking you’re doing the right thing and then, snap!
Peace in the Unknown
Welcome to a new series – Peace in Every Place! If you are in a season when peace feels a bit distant, I hope this encourages you. We all go through tough times. So hold on and know this too shall pass. If this series encourages you, be sure to leave a comment or shoot me an email! I am praying for you! Peace in Every Place We all know that feeling of facing circumstances that cannot be predicted. It’s the waiting periods of life that make us evaluate our faith and question our motives.
