I have a confession to make: there’s something I’ve been avoiding talking about on this blog. You see, in the last month or so, my health has hit the point where I finally feel like I’m glimpsing the light at the end of the tunnel. At first, I was...

We were filling supplements for the week, and I was hunched over moaning. I glared at the clouds building out the window. It was all their fault. Why in the world did my body find it necessary to let me know every single time a cloud shifted or the wind gusted? My...

Yesterday (at this time of this writing), a post of mine was published on a blog I hadn’t been on before. And the comments made me both smile and made my heart break. I had struggled to write that post and had prayed that God would use it. Well, it is turning...
