Hey everyone, so I am a single mom of four kiddos. I have been married twice. My first husband was Russian and was very abusive in every way imaginable. We had to run from him with our lives. I married him young. I had never dated before him, and no one had ever explained domestic violence to...

August, 2013 My daughter is going on day eight of a long hospitalization. I finally managed to take a hot shower tonight, however at one point I found myself wasting a great deal of hot water while staring blankly at a wall. It took me a while to realize what I was doing. I finally woke up out...

Broken, bruised beneth the stones, I traveled through my pain alone, When then I managed to crawl out, And turned my head to look about. The sky was grey and wet with tears, My body taxed by many years. The bitterness I kept inside, My hurt, my shame, my tears to hide. I pushed myself to act...

I was riding solo in the HOV lane on my way back from Children's. I wonder if anyone called the HERO number to report me. I wonder if they realized that my body was so used to having at least one sweet, chubby-cheeked kid staring at the back of my head that I was oblivious to the fact that I was...

Of life. Of death. His death. My life. His life. My death. To sin. To shame. Of life. Of death. Christ's death. My gain. He is Jesus. He was risen again, The salvation of men, He is Jesus. He is faithful. Though my world is ablaze, My commitment a maze, He is faithful. He is...

I'm happy in the trials that the Lord has brought to me, His hand has gently held me in the things I've had to see. Though others see my trials as a beating from bellow, And I can see the reasons why they've come to think this so, I've learned to take the heartache that the devil throws my way...

Yesterday, I had some praise and worship music blasting in the house while I was cleaning. The front door was open since it was sunny. Emma (one of my daughters with special needs who cannot walk) was sitting in the doorway, dancing and really getting into the music. Suddenly she stopped and...

Two feet, Dancing perfectly in time, With the sounds of life. A song wells up, From a little heart. A dance is made, From little toes, And hands stretched high, In joyful praise. Her eyes are closed, Her smile bright, Her curls sway, To music sweet. In her heart, She moves her feet, And dances...

A poem written after doctors encouraged me to abort my daughter Naomi because of her sever medical condition. My daughter, Such sweet cheeks of fluff, And toes that softly wiggle, How could a mother stop a life, And never hear a giggle? My daughter, When you were so small, And warm inside my...

This shell is wretched, Tied to sin, I fight a holy war within. My heart, it keeps me close to you, But soon the battle starts anew, And twists my will to make me do, The things I do not want to do. I take the bribe and it is sweet, My traitor hands, my traitor feet. What sad and mornful irony...

Car Junk The nugget there beneath her feet, The French fries shrivled on his seat, They munched before we drove through town, To meet a new friend we had found The M&Ms both here and there, And scattered mostly everywhere, Was such a special little treat, For sitting still upon her seat, As they...

I was sitting in Bible study today and suddenly realized that Oprah's view of spirituality is the exact same make and model as Rick Warren's spirituality for the program of Celebrate Recovery and many other programs that he has within his church. Out of curiosity, I Googled Oprah and Rick Warren...
