The water was turquoise, with glints of sunlight catching on the water’s edge. The air was warm and full of life, and everything around me looked peaceful. There I was in Mexico on what was meant to be a beautiful Caribbean vacation, yet in the middle of that beauty I was laid out in agonizing…

IF THEY LIVED People keep asking, “What happened to America? Why has everything become so dark, so broken, so violent?” But few are willing to face the answer. One–third of an entire generation never got to breathe. Ideas were buried. Songs were silenced. Teachers never stood in classrooms. Inventors never touched blueprints. Healers never laid…

I used to believe that I had to become “God’s Good Little Girl” in order to gain His love and approval. I could not imagine God loving me simply because it was in His Character to do so. God would answer my prayers, bless me with His blessings, the list went on and on in…
