I love making new friends, in fact it’s always been easy for me. Friends of all different walks in life. From the adventurous water rafting and camping friend, the princess friend, the tomboy friend and the childhood friend. We naturally choose our friends based on interests, likes, personality meshes and similar seasons. For me, it…
NO MIDDLE MAN
Everyone that knows me, knows my love for Trader Joe’s. I’m always reppin’. Not only do they carry innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods, but it’s also cost-friendly. Early on, I was amazed by how they were able to become so successful. I mean no matter where I go, coast to coast, the store is always packed…
TRUST WITHOUT BORDERS
I can hear you humming now..the catchy tune of Oceans. What a great song! It is fun to sing “trust without borders” but actually living it out, seems impossible. Without His grace it is impossible. You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in…
HUMBLE CONFIDENCE
Unpacking my suitcase this week, I found a sweet love note from my 9-year-old niece. “Auntie Leelee (yes, it’s my nickname) you are a Princess AND a Super Hero.” I just busted out in laughter at how cute the note was and how much it touched me. Then it got spiritual, the Holy Spirit whispered,…
HAPPY NEW YOU
Is it just me or has this year flown by! 2016 where did you go Another year is upon us and I remember thinking that by now we would have flying cars. I was raised in the Jetson era, so that explains it. As I look back and reflect on all God has done this…

THAT BEAUTIFUL REASON
Merry Christmas! Shop till you drop! I often notice shopping as the focus of Christmas. Everywhere I turn, every commercial, every store telling us “buy more, it’s what you need.” We’ve been good “santa” now give us what we want. All the hustle & bustle keeps us busy. It is the season of busy. While…
REASON FOR THE WAIT
I know, I know, so many of us hate waiting. For anything these days. We live in a culture of instant gratification. While technology is great, it has us living in a world of touch and go. God is not a touch and go God. In fact, he’s just the opposite. Many look at the…
FIGHT BACK
Have you ever had a good and peaceful moment suddenly interrupted by a bad memory or another’s offense? Of course, you have. We all have. We automatically get emotionally defensive and turn our blame toward the offender. I’m here to tell you, the offender isn’t who you think it is. God has made it clear…
HAPPY THANKS-LIVING
It’s that wonderful and favorite time of year again. Happy Thanks-Living. The brisk breeze and rich colors of fall make me smile. I have such sweet memories growing up together with my family traditions. Reminiscing here of that quality family time, mama’s home-cooked feast and cutting down a Christmas tree in the mountains the following Saturday. Big…
