Love Never Fails

1 Corinthinas 13:4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” My hope is through breaking down this scripture by using some possibly outlandish scenarios that you can learn how to apply a love like God intended to your marriage.     When I don’t understand … Love is patient! I’ve asked him a million times to take out the trash. Why am I still doing it? Honey, eventually he’s going to catch on but better than disrespecting him; treat him with love. Keep cooking, cleaning and taking care of his kids without complaining and trust me, he will soon see how great not only your love but your respect is for him and he will in turn say   “Hey, Babe is there anything I can...

Oh The Cruises You Will Go

My sweet little family just finished our first Cruise together! 8 days on the Sea with my boys aboard the beautiful Carnival Vista! We were extremely blessed to have this experience together celebrating Birthdays and Fall Break. Logan turned 6 a few weeks back and Corban turns 10 next Monday!!            I will be a Mother of PRE-TEEN...... My husband & I do our best to take our boys out of town during Fall Break each year in lieu of Birthday parties! Which, lets face it; in this day of Pinterest any party can seem unattainable. Each morning as I woke up with the sunrise and my complimentary room service, I realized just how blessed I was! I have most certainly been inspired to transform my Master Room Porch area into a serene Coffee spot! My sweet breakfast buddies definitely made the experience extra special! Our first Port of Call was Amber Cove . Amber Cove is in Puerto Plata, a popular beach town of the Dominican Republic. ...

Pray A While For Me

Today was a day I took time to pause! Without the promise of tomorrow how can any of us afford to be complacent?  Take time to love on someone less fortunate than you!  Take time to give back to someone in need.  Never forget that had it not been for the Grace of God, you too would be without!           Everything we have is because of His blessings! The people we cross paths with every day, He knew we would interact with them..... It's important that we not miss an opportunity to smile or speak. I had the chance to share my testimony this summer on a Missions trip my husband and I Co-Chaperoned. During that morning devotion, I was so heavily burdened and emotionally fought my way through speaking. I knew what I had to share was relevant. I firmly believe the trials I faced and battles I fought are scars that could help students!  It was then, in that moment that I realized how I am where I am today....  I should ...

For Kyle

Happy Birthday to my Big Brother! He would've been 33 today!    Sometimes, life happens and suddenly all the dreams you had as a child are changed forever. I miss Kyle everyday and I often think what if?! He was my very best friend! Kyle believed in me and faught for me like no one else ever has! My motivation to be better, serve better, give better, support better and never turn my back on those who desperately need hope and restoration was birthed through seeing my family torn apart by addictions.  There were times as a child that I thought " Where is the Church? Why are people not reaching out? "  Worst of all, I often heard negativity from the Church which my Mother taught me was a safe place..... I quickly learned that unfortunately that is not always the case! As I got older the struggle with direction began having one parent in the Church and another so hurt by the Church, his heart was filled with hate! I  honestly believed that I was an alcoholic and dr...
