Back in February 2020, just before COVID-19 became the harsh reality in the U.S., my son got sick for almost a month.  It was a frightening time, a sobering time, but this was the time God used to open my eyes and deepen my faith. During that time, I literally was clinging to God each…

We’ve all been through (or are going through) difficult and painful things.  Some things, in time, will be resolved.  Other things won’t be resolved this side of heaven.  As I hear things in the news, events happening in my own family, and painful things occurring with friends, neighbors, coworkers, and acquaintances, sometimes it gets to…

More than 10 years ago, before my church, Bridgeway, became what it is today, it went through a painful break away from the main church it was affiliated with — at that time, known as Berkland church.  In this post, I’d like to cover what I’ve felt and went through as a result of this…

It was a deep down hurt . . . one that wouldn’t go away.  It had been a tough week, a tough month, heck, a tough few months, and I was so exhausted, I couldn’t even figure out why. And then I remembered:  there was stuff going on in my family.  As I thought about…

I’m not a good enough Christian.  I don’t attend all the meetings I should.  I don’t give all the time that I should.  I don’t…

I could not write.  I needed to write.  It was too much, it was all too much.  I did not know how to put it into words, but I also needed to process.  I felt the pain inside of me, waiting to be unraveled through words so I can make sense of it.  I felt…

Dear Bridgeway, Happy 10th Anniversary!  On your 10th Anniversary, I’d like to share all the times with you that I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for these times: When we worshipped with other congregations. It was a taste of what heaven is like. People from every tribe and nation, coming together to worship the One True King.…

After five years being out of the industry, a year and a half of no income, and an 18-month-old child, I was desperate.  I went through many fruitless interviews, and then, miraculously, God granted me a job as a technical writer.  I went to the interview, and my would-be manager interviewed me.  Then, the team…

In my previous post, I talked about what ADHD is, and what it looks like.  In this post, I’d like to describe how ADHD affects the spouse.  An ADHD Spouse, is a partner of a person with ADHD. I have been an ADHD Spouse for about ten years.  Here’s what I learned: Being an ADHD…
