Confession #58 - Dreamin' of a White Christmas

Today DCW is bringing you our first video blog from a Women's Ministry event I was blessed to speak at.

Every year my holidays hold the promise of happiness and joy focusing on the Birth of Jesus Christ. And every year inevitably I get off track and get caught up the in the Christmas hype and forget about Jesus. Take a look....

Confession #87: The Golden Buzzer

Today while visiting a friend, she asked if I had seen this amazing girl on AGT. I told her that I don’t watch that show but after she described this woman, I said wait, is that Nightbirde? She said yes and played the clip. This gorgeous woman with a song in her heart put herself out there in front of the entire world to compete. Then she reveals she has been suffering from this horrific cancer in her lungs and spine and liver, and she only has a 2% chance of survival. Her song an original she wrote called, “It’s okay.” I recognized the description of her because, ironically, this was the second introduction I had to the amazing Nightbirde. Just the day before I had stumbled across her one of her blog posts. An ode to the Lord that she praises God amid her pain. Coincidence? NEVER! Recently, I have had the stuffing knocked out of me. Taking blows has become somewhat routine in my life and this current situation is one of the more powerful ones. Thankfully, I do n...

Confession #83 "It Ain't Over, Till it's Over"

You know the famous saying by the baseball great Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over till it’s over?” Well in God’s economy, it’s true! In Luke 18: 1 it says, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” In 1999 when my husband and I purchased our home, we had no children and the plan for them was years off, so we didn’t think much about school zoning. Honestly, we thought by the time we would have to be concerned with schools we would have moved into a larger home in a better area. After all, this was our starter home. Twenty-one years later and by the grace of God, we are still here. And that school zoning problem has been an issue since our daughter became school aged. Rather than send her to our local zoned schools we opted for charter schools. Knowing we could not afford to send her to a private, or Christian school that was the best we could give her. I beli...

Confession #86 - I Need Super-Stretchy Faith

Ever want to be a superhero with super special powers to take on the forces of evil and save humanity? Who's your favorite female superhero? As women these days we have so many to choose from. There's Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Storm, Gamora, Electra and the list goes on. Mine is....Dun-un-dun-ta-dah - Elastigirl! Matriarch of the super-hero family, The Incredibles, Elastigirl can basically stretch and morph into any length and form with ease without falling apart. She's also this super cool quick-witted, resourceful, talented, passionate, driven, and supportive wife and mom to three superhero kids. To me she's close to perfect and while as wives and mothers we learn to be pretty flexible, I never really imagined that in my relationship with God, He would call me to become more like her as well, that is until this morning's revelation. Let me preface this by saying that my entire marriage my husband has worked as a freela...
