Everyday conversations with Jesus
I start my week by bringing my concerns to God. This particular week I was weighed down with remembering what didn't go well last week.

For me, eating well is the key to my good health. I know that, so why do I stop eating healthy foods?Some days I don't eat fruits or vegetables at all. Instead, I choose easy, convenient, processed, carb-related foods. This tends to be a pattern in my life. One day I'm eating all the healthy... Continue Reading →

It's been one of those weeks. Do they need a different medication or just a dosage change for the same medication? How can I be more consistent?... Continue Reading →
Recently I've had many teaching opportunities. I am very thankful for them. God is always faithful to give me a message for each unique group. However, the other morning I woke up discouraged. I'm doing all this work but I see no fruit. So I took my discouraged heart to Jesus. Prayer: Jesus, I do... Continue Reading →
