Marriage Won’t End Your Problems.

(This is a repost from my old blog for single women. A pandemic and isolation that has lasted almost a year long, St. Valentine's Day recently coming and going, and the winter blues can definitely add up for singles and lead to even more rumination about singleness and the hoped for end of it.

Systems failed massively, and many were left without heat, electric, and water in temperatures that got down to near zero. The average Texas low in February is 41 degrees Fahrenheit,...

Bracing for Answered Prayers!

Quick Mental Health Tips (USA Election Year Edition)

1) Stay grounded. What I mean is to stay grounded in Jesus. Stay in the Word. Pray about your vote. Find positive faith fellowship.

It’s All About Timing.

More and more, I'm realizing that life and its intricacies come down to the timing. Life is all about timing! If you're still waiting for a job offer, or a better job offer, take heart. If you're still waiting for the right home to open up, or for your offer to be accepted, take heart....
