Join me in praying today: National Day of Prayer
President Trump declared today-March 15th as National day of prayer. As I watch events unfold and chaos around me, I can’t help but pray. As a critical care nurse, I’m not in a state of panic as we care for really sick patients and deal with lots of scary viruses daily. As a Christian, I […]

Meeting a New York Times best seller
This past weekend I met one of my all time favorite authors and speaker. As I stood in line for a book signing, I was contemplating what I would say to her. “Hi.” “Good afternoon mam.” “What a beautiful day.” All those sounded so lame. And she’s from Texas, where 50 degrees was probably cold […]

Crazy like Noah
Let your faith be bigger than your fears That seems so obvious and for Noah, I am sure he was afraid that he looked like a fool in front “society” and he was, he was absolutely crazy to build such an enormous boat. But doing so saved his family. Sometimes we can be so engulfed […]

When I don’t know how to be still

You must be what he’s here to save
I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but I hope the one who does finds his/her way to this post. I found myself at a random Wendy’s in the middle of nowhere. I was craving a chocolate frosty. It was a young girl, Hannah, who took my order. At least that’s what her name […]

I am really nervous to write this, but being a writer somehow equates to vulnerability. And it seems that there’s always at least one person who’s life is touched by words of truth. I am afraid. Maybe because it is easier to let things collect under the carpet than speak about them. I for sure […]
