Greetings!

Welcome to my blog. I'm venturing into unknown territory here so please be patient with my learning curve. I am determined to produce something of value for anyone taking the time to read what I share. My goal is to help readers deal with life's issues by leading them to trust God who cares and understands.

• Growth is important. When something or someone ceases to grow, stagnation sets in. It's important for plants, people, and organizations to keep improving. My posts will focus on a person's development in his or her walk with God. The process is sometimes painful, sometimes happy, but always beneficial if it leads to knowing him more fully. I welcome you to join me on an adventurous journey of growth.

• Why should you read my blog? Ouch. Valid question. The answer centers on who I am:  a Christian woman with a faith strengthened through surviving various stages and issues of this thing called life. I do best when I remember to rely on God and his resources. The Bible has long guided me and prayer has sustained me through the curve balls life has thrown. I'm a wife, a mother of four grown children, a grandma of ten, a former high school teacher, and a writer. I've experienced the life of a stay-at-home mom as well as that of a full-time educator. I've done it all, just not all at the same time. 

• You, my readers, are very busy people and I hope to respect your limited time. You are most likely stressed, overworked, over-scheduled, wearing too many hats, trying to do it all, and needing to survive various problems or situations. Here is the good news:  the Bible has answers for whatever issue you are facing in modern life. Really. Convincing you of that is one thing I hope to accomplish through these writings. Stay with me long enough to see for yourself and then proceed on your exciting journey to grow with God.

Thank you for investing your time in reading this blog. I promise to make it worthwhile.

"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."

(Psalm 145: 18)
