I, like Mary, am mostly found at the feet of Jesus asking for words that give life. I blog straight from the heart with the encouragement gleaned from sitting at His feet. So sit down at the well and drink deep. Know you are His Beloved. I am 48, a Fibromyalgia warrior, a worshiper, a daughter of the King, the mother of four beautiful girls, a minister, Women’s Biblical Counselor, a student pursuing Life Coaching, Relationship Life Coaching, Addiction and Recovery, and NLP Master Practitioner courses. Being a survivor and thriver from multiple forms of abuse in my life, I’m a writer writing my first book. My best friend is a good book, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile. I love spending time with my girls, my two year old grandson, to sing, to watch movies that take me away, learning, and various crafts. I pray the words written here are not written in vain but are purposed by God to encourage His Beloved. Thank you for stopping by. Oh, How He Loves Us!

And She Laughed

Melinda

Hope and Assurance 11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.  Hebrews 11:1-2 She Laughed Abraham and Sarah wanted a baby of their own more than anything.  They had tried for years, but Sarah was barren.  However, one day… Continue reading And She Laughed
