Chatting Faith
Life is full of uncertainty, obstacles and anguish. Some days, it seems like we are merely surviving. But wouldn’t you rather LIVE life? A life full of hope, peace and joy?
Come alongside me as I share my experiences of: failure, sorrow and shame. Yet, coming alive, I’ve encountered God’s grace, mercy and redeeming love!
It’s YOUR time to stop just surviving and TAKE ROOT. GROW. THRIVE and COME ALIVE!
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness.” - Colossians 2:6-7

Farm Strong

It’s too Tough. Was my thought as I approached my nemesis: the gate. It may seem silly or possibly sad that I have such a strong dislike for gates.But here is why. I am not farm strong. Simple tasks farmers do every day with ease I am beyond challenged by. Even attempting to tackle this awkwardly…
