Just a glimpse of me...

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. Thanks for stopping by, reading and commenting Traci :) I would highly recommend reading the book. It well written & contains so much truth. I think you'll be blessed by it. I know for me, it's been a life changer to actually write down 3 things a day. We often get so busy that we forget all those little things that made our heart smile! Have a blessed Christmas!
