Just a glimpse of me...

My photo
Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

    1. LOVE DOING IT TOO! It's made such a difference in my life. It was also a GREAT VALIDATION for me when I could actually list these things as blessings directly from God. Many of my friends had told me that they were coincidences and not "GOD GIVEN BLESSINGS" :/
