You matter. The reason you survived was because you matter. Despite what comes against you, you rise again and again and again because You Matter. So many things tried to break you and yet look, you’re still here. Despite some of the ugliness somehow you still have slivers of hope that shed beauty in your…

When they finally handed my daughter to me… Skylar… My heart – my first baby girl – I didn’t want her to leave my side. I held her so much that day. I breathed her in, drank her sublime presence and hoped I would remember her beautiful, sweet, smell forever. She was mine – my…
My daughter starts dancing the moment she hears music. My son’s the same. Because children are like that.

Woweeeee!!!!! I am overwhelmed by the depth of my friend Mercy! I wasn’t feeling too fantastic yesterday- I was feeling a tad… (ok a LOT) deflated- Mercy and I often pray together- but when we chatted last night- I was like, “I don’t really feel like praying. I mean I want to pray but I…
