Faith Over Fear: Finding Strength and Healing in a Destructive Relationship
May is my birthday month! I am choosing to celebrate sisterhood in 2023. As Christian women, we know that our faith is our anchor in times of trouble.

Good morning my friends, Coach LeAnne Parsons here! One of the most exciting things I get to do as a follower of Jesus Christ is to partner with the Holy Spirit to accomplish God‘s work here on earth through this ministry as a professional certified coach on the Leslie Vernick Team. I have the privilege and honor to answer this…

Morning friend, It’s hard to believe that our world has been shut down for a year now. I had planned a trip to France in April that was cancelled this week due to continued COVID restrictions. It’s easy to get angry and depressed. What’s much harder is to take responsibility for our own emotions in an unfair, unpleasant situation and…

Morning friends, For me, Christmas is the season for quiet. For stillness. For reflection on the reality of “Emmanuel, God with us” Pray for me that I would know that God is in this place.

Morning friends, I just returned to the cooler weather of the mountains from hot, hot Phoenix. I’m so thankful for this break. Even our dog resisted her walks because of the hot sidewalks.

Afterward, I’m headed on a much-needed vacation with my family (all kids and grandkids) for my husband’s big birthday. Although I’m not sure how much of a vacation it will be when you’re the grandma and your…

Morning friends, Thanks for your prayers. This is a very busy season for me so I deeply need and appreciate them. Continue to ask God to give me a deeper wisdom of his character and his love. I’m reading through the Bible again this year and reading some of the Old Testament books can be challenging. I struggle sometimes…
Read MoreHelp. I Can’t Let Go. I Still Love Him.
Morning friends, I flew down to Florida on Sunday for some needed sunshine. I get gloomy without enough sun and although it’s been warm for about a month in Pennsylvania it’s been foggy and cloudy. Unfortunately the sunshine left here for more clouds and wind but I am thankful that I’m not in the 5-degree weather back home. But I…
Read MoreWhat Honors God The Most?
Morning friends, As we turn the page on 2015 and enter into 2016, I want this to be a year you trust God more. I want you to trust him to be big enough, good enough and loving enough that if you, in all your frail humanness, make a mistake or get something wrong in your efforts to do it…
