For those of us who call ourselves Christians, we can easily claim the goodness of God. It is one of His primary characteristics and is apparent all around us. Some years ago, I was not able to claim this truth. I did not see God’s goodness in my life at all. I was blinded by the darkness of infertility.

Words are wonderful things. I have loved reading them and writing them since I was a young child. I think God gave me my love of words because I was such a shy child. It has always been easier for me to write out my thoughts than to verbally share them. I love the editing process and there is no chance for such a thing in face to face conversation!

Two years ago, our family lost two very precious women. Called home to glory within a few weeks of each other were my grandma and my husband’s stepmom. Losing my grandma was an expected loss. She was nearing 90 years of age and we knew that any phone call from my parents could potentially share this news. On the other hand, losing Ray’s stepmom to cancer while only in her 50’s, was much harder to accept.

When I was 12 years old, I participated in my first in-depth Bible study on the book of Revelation. I recall a lot of interesting and somewhat confusing ideas presented in the study, but the most important lesson I learned was that Jesus was going to return for His faithful followers and I wanted to be sure that I would be found among them.
