After having Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) a month ago and enduring the pain and adjustment to the batteries in my chest and wires in my neck, I was reminded of the encouraging promises in Isaiah 43:1-2.

God Sees Our Fears
Brain surgery and excited, two words I would never put together, or any surgery for that matter. When I hear surgery I think, "that's going to be hard to go through--not only for the person going into surgery but also for the family." I guess when people say, "Are you getting excited about your surgery?" … Continue reading God Sees Our Fears

God's Been Faithful Verse 1 When the Lord found me wandering aimlessly, Lost and lonely, hope was gone, There He saved my … Continue reading He’s Been Faithful To Me!
Joy That Only Jesus Can Give
A couple of weeks ago I woke up with a song in my head, a song I haven't listened in along time. The song is called "Joy!" I found this song on YouTube when I was in high school. It was encouraging back then and it still encourages me to this day. Every time I … Continue reading Joy That Only Jesus Can Give

This past week I checked off a task that I never thought I'd accomplish—I put clean sheets on my bed!!! It took about 45 minutes....but I did it! For most people, putting sheets on a bed is no big deal. My mom has made my bed since I can remember. I don't know what made … Continue reading Daily Provision From God
