The Power of Prayer

When have you last witnessed the power of prayer?  Sometimes I hold back on sharing things because they seem totally bizarre, but I'm witnessing how profound the power of prayer is right now, so I'm going to share my little experience I had a couple weeks ago because prayer is incredible and sometimes we need these reminders.  Now, I do realize our prayers don't always get answered and I'm not sure why other than something...

Have You Ever Wanted to Write a Book?

Kind of a random question, but have you ever wanted to write a book before???  Before kids, I had this dream growing that I needed to write a book. I remember when I was in the 6th grade, I climbed my favorite tree in the backyard and journaled how one day I was going to write an entire book. Back then it was going to be a book of poems, but still. It was a book. When I entered college, I put a time capsule together in one...

Is God Really Listening??

Does Praying Really Work? Have I told you guys about the two times I seriously had a conversation with God and He listened? Like... I prayed and something magical happened days after? Maybe a coincidence, but I'm not so sure. You can decide for yourself, but I truly think God was listening. The first time was when I moved to Minnesota randomly several months after graduating college, had NO friends (yet), no plans and I was scared...

How do you get in your vitamins and minerals in daily? Well, this was perfect timing, I suppose.

I received an email from Pete this past week saying he enjoyed my blog and my passion for living out a healthy lifestyle and was curious if I'd be up for...

Facts of Life

Words to Live By Wanted to share a post I read that I bet you guys can relate to just as much as I can. "As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch - - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or a $30.00 wallet/handbag - - the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - - the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is...

Morning Devotional - Spending Time with God

When do you spend time with God each day? If you're anything like me, I'm sure you're feeling pressed for time. Maybe there are not enough hours in your day. Maybe you can barely workout or even get a few hours of sleep a night because you're trying to fit everything in. You might be running around with a scowl on your face because you're so focused on getting everything done. Maybe, just maybe, you're even missing out on the amazing things...

Spirits and Orbs? Is there such a thing?

Is it really just a glare in the photo or is someone with us? Have you ever looked at your photos closely?  Ever notice an orb in them before? What is an orb? In photography, an orb is a typically circular artifact on an image, created as a result of flash photography illuminating a mote of dust or other particle. Orbs are especially common with modern compact and ultra-compact digital cameras. Most people know I love...
