Accessibility in Ministry
It's my failures, my weakness that make me accessible. And Accessibility makes for deeper ministry & relationship. My constant, day in & day out relationship with Christ; my desire to know more of Him - is what makes up for it. This allows Him to be strong in my weakness.
“I’m Not Nothing!”
"I'm not nothing! I was never nothing! The power you have I don't need!" -Emma Swan 'Once Upon A Time' Every Sunday, this sentence comes out of my mouth at least once: "It's Once Upon A Time Time!"

Worth from the Creator
I am what one may classify as "boy crazy"...I have been pretty much since 5th grade (maybe earlier, but that's my first real recollection). Before that, I did have a "boyfriend" in Kindergarten.

I often wonder...What if...? What if this person hadn't rejected me? What if I had gotten this job? What if … Continue reading The Beauty of Rejection

Any Sunday I get to go to church, is a restful, Lovely Sunday. Today was no exception.

This new comer was … Continue reading Flourish
