Our family rented a movie called Amazing Love. It’s not up for awards, and certainly not going to keep you on the edge of your seat, but WOW! What a powerful movie to show the difference someone can make in the lives of youngsters. I appreciated their simple, loving approach to a few teenagers struggling….

His Work
I Dreamed a Dream…
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them Isaiah 61:7 Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion…
God’s Promises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The glow in our back yard was unusual, and when we left for school Valentina cried out, “MOM, A RAINBOW!” I slammed on breaks in the driveway, got out of the car and rejoiced. Nina and I danced around shouting, “Look! Look! Look! God’s promises!” I have NEVER seen a rainbow in my life time…
Consider Him…
Today’s message at Cloverhill was a continuation of God’s mercy! After writing the post on Friday I made a conscious effort to “work on some things”! I woke up and asked a dear friend to spend time with me listening to my heart. On a 2o minute notice we were at Starbucks. The conversation brought…
Have Mercy!
It’s one of those days. You wake up and every thing changes, yet over and over again you see the hand of mercy. Sometimes we are too busy to notice it, but it’s a changed day that makes you ever-present in the moment. Trying to manage my already filled day with a surprise doctor’s appointment…

Parking Lot and Flea Market
I shared a few days ago that my husband and I went forward for prayer over our marriage. We did not have anything burning to pray about, but acknowledged that most anyone desires prayer over their marriage! The prayer the couple prayed over us has lingered. The fact they prayed for us to spend more…
First Love
In Chapter 2 of Revelation God shares with the church of Ephesus that they were practically perfect in every way. They were rocking in good deeds and works, strong in doctrine and kicking out the false prophets, and were strong in not falling for temptations around them. It was the example of the mega church…
A Newer Understanding with Old Wisdom
http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-self-injury-young-people-gateway-suicide.html The article above is from my clinical supervisor, Teresa. Whereas before we concluded that non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) was not a suicide attempt, through this study we can say that “self-injury is a red flag that someone is distressed and is at greater risk…..that if someone with self-injury history becomes suicidal, having engaged in NSSI…
Great Expectations
Philippians 1:19-20 New International Version (NIV) 19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted…
