Are you a Christian single who struggles with sexual purity? Do you find yourself “falling” into sexual sin repeatedly? Â Is your mind consumed with thoughts of sexual intimacy with others? Â Well. You’re not alone in your struggle my friend.Â
The Voice of Shame
The voice of shame is cruel, insensitive, demeaning, degrading and destructive. It strips us of hope for a positive future and it poisons our perspective, damages our sense of power and robs us of fulfilling our potential and purpose.

The gift of imperfection is being shared in audio form rather than written form. In this audio file, I share my reflections on how Moses and Gideon both expressed their feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity when God called them to go and do great works in His name.
GRATEFUL
I am SO GRATEFUL to have been able to enjoy another year of life and celebrate my birthday!! Although this past year included some BIG disappointments, I’ve learned more about myself (my strengths and weaknesses) and I’ve grown SO much through leadership pain and pressure. I am convinced the things that occurred in my life this past year did not happen to me–they happened for me. For my growth AND my good!!

The Pursuit of Happiness
After almost 43 years, I have finally cracked the code for living an abundant life—a life FULL of happiness/joy, health, success, and prosperity. But it may not be what you may think.
