    I have had many struggles in my life, but one of the largest and hardest to defeat has been fear. I am talking about the type of fear that causes you to worry or obsess over a situation that you know is probably fine.

    I hope it doesn’t come across as complaining or bragging. Because what I really want to share is what a blessing it is to have help and to encourage everyone to accept help – good help – when you really need it.

    Live Your Best Life or LYBL – what a fun thing to say. We make all kinds of decisions and classify it by saying that we are living our best life. But what if we can’t? What if those decisions are made for us? Or what if everyone thinks you’re living your best life, but…

    Trust. What a simple little word packed with so much meaning. A concept I’ve struggled with for so long. I was ten the first time someone betrayed my trust. It took close to five years before I truly forgave them and allowed myself to heal. By then it was happening again.

      Today marks ten years since I graduated from high school. Ironically I will be spending today at my first high school graduation as a teacher.

    As I was rocking baby girl to sleep I was reminded of how blessed I am. Not only with the life that God has provided for me, but also the people that he has allowed in my life. I was reminded of all of the times in the past few years that the generosity of…
