I didn’t want to blog I this week. I honestly didn’t even want to get out of bed for the last couple of days. After the multiple challenges I experienced immediately following last week’s blog, I was questioning if I should even continue with this. I think God decided it was testing time (yet again), … Continue reading The Journey from Test to Testimony

Guardians of the Mind
Last week I was surprised on Social Media, learning that I had won tickets from Faith on the Field for a concert with the Christian band, Unspoken. A few weeks earlier, I had joined the mailing list as their ministry resonated with me - Faith on the Faith is a radio talk show and blog … Continue reading Guardians of the Mind
A Setup for Fear
The nation observed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s Day of Service this past Monday. This time of year also brings MLK weekend sports tournaments around the country. For us, it was volleyball in Richmond, Virginia, which is a little over 4 hours away. Without going into too much detail, my plans were changed at the … Continue reading A Setup for Fear

It was a very emotional experience sharing my testimony … Continue reading How Do I Know God Will Heal Me?
Why Me (or Them) Lord?
CANCER. The very word seems to grip us in our hearts and snatch our breath away. I know that’s what happened when my younger sister informed me that our other sister (and her twin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s hard to describe the feeling, it’s like your entire world momentarily stops as you process … Continue reading Why Me (or Them) Lord?
Speaking to My Storm…Literally
After leaving the Battlefield, we were about three hours off schedule from our originally planned arrival time. We stopped for a bite to eat and then got comfortable for the remaining five hours of travel until we would arrive at our hotel. I took the wheel after about an hour, and we enjoyed the beautiful … Continue reading Speaking to My Storm…Literally
It’s Not a Lie, It’s a Prediction
So, now that we had Kennedi’s diagnosis, we had to return to some semblance of our pre-injury life. Her wheelchair arrived, we applied for a temporary handicap placard, and started to adjust to our “new normal” that revolved around caring for Kennedi around the clock. As we ventured out, Kennedi would regularly be questioned about … Continue reading It’s Not a Lie, It’s a Prediction
