Finding Life beyond the struggles
There is a lot to unpack in Job chapter 5. It is a continuation of Eliphaz's first speech to Job. At times, Eliphaz comes across a little higher-than-thou, in my opinion, but if we break apart what he's saying and put it in the light of Christ, the revelation is extremely important. Discipline Behold, how... Continue Reading →
On Monday morning, Hubby asked the kids if they would like to go to Chili's then watch fireworks this weekend. The keywords being this weekend. Ade turned to me and asked, "We're going to Chili's tonight?" He had half-listened to the conversation, picked out the words that interested him most, and tuned out the rest,... Continue Reading →
...For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, and said, 'Stop being afraid, Paul.

They saw some of God's miraculous works––I won't say most miraculous but they were pretty awesome––and... Continue Reading →

Happy Valentine's Day 2022! For the last week, Isbe has been asking if we're, "Going to the Valentine's Day?" I've given up trying to explain that it's a holiday and not a place lol. This year, it seems like we're all in this weird limbo area. Restaurants are open, we can go places, but is... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! Sad fact, since I am no longer a part of the corporate world, I did not realize that today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today we celebrate the Civil Rights Movement Leader's birthday. It is the only nationally recognized holiday celebrating the societal reformation. Photo by ATC Comm Photo on Pexels.com Rosa... Continue Reading →
I think it's safe to say that, by now, all the Christmas presents are opened, the New Years parties are wrapped up in trash bags, and stores are starting to look a little pink.
