I've been reflecting on the heart and character of God, one attribute at a time. He gave me a new song months ago, more of an anthem maybe, that declares He is the Father who hears, sees, knows, cares, heals and loves. It's really repetitive but it usually comes to mind when there's an instrumental … Continue reading The Father Who Sees

Shadows (Part 2)
I thought I had learned my lesson about the shadows. After all, I wrote a blog about it. 😉 "Don't mistake this darkness for something other than His shadow. It's not separation. You are under His wings." Trouble and trials remind us to take refuge in the shadow of His wings. "Have mercy on me, … Continue reading Shadows (Part 2)

We let memories fade and time pass and sometimes, we forget. We forget how God was with us, and we forget that people are … Continue reading Memories of My Miscarriage
