Where do you want to go? Teenagers, manual transmissions, and letting your children go and grow.
My oldest daughter’s first car was the family stick shift. By the time she got her license, she’d driven hundreds of hours in all types of terrain, weather, and levels of visibility. I know because we made her get behind the wheel at every opportunity. She passed her driver’s test the same year I gaveContinue reading “Where do you want to go?

I am a Christ-follower and purpose in all things to glorify my Heavenly Father – my testimony.
I grew up in a pastor’s home and adopted early on the lifestyle of living for Christ…but not the deep heart commitment of being adopted by Christ.

I am the daughter of the King, and I will act accordingly.
Through the twists and turns of life, you will not always be surrounded by what makes you happy. Every decision you make won’t be perfect. Not everything you set out to accomplish will end in victory. Things won’t always turn out as you expected. You won’t be able to control every circumstance. You will, however,Continue reading “I am the daughter of the King, and I will act accordingly.”
It’s easy see God in the good and thank him. But where is God during the bad times?
“In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.” Ecclesiastes 7:14 AMP This verse confused me until I had a season one could call the opposite of prosperous.
