Everyone’s story is different. Everyone’s experience is different. Everyone’s journey is different. There was a time when every decision I made was under the influence of a substance. I know that was the same for many of us. Once I stopped using drugs and alcohol, I started making better decisions. My journey changed. My life…

I had always gotten addicted to “more”. It seemed that whenever I got what I wanted, it was never enough. I wanted more. Thus, I was never grateful. I have learned that God gives me what I need – not when I want it, but when I need it. I have been Blessed beyond measure.…

Having big difficulties with my phone account due to someone reporting my messages as “spam”. As a result, I may have to change to a new phone number because Apple has blocked my number, maybe forever. That part is out of my hands. That’s life in the uber-sensitive world these days. I’m not happy about…

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. My fears get in the way of right action. If I put my trust in God and have faith that He will make sure everything will be ok, it’s a lot easier. God helps me to persevere, one day at a time. God, please help me to…
