My friend knows from experience she is not alone in this struggle; Jesus is there, guiding, listening, healing.

Daddys Home
It’s that sigh of relief when you hear the garage door open and the kids start jumping up and down or when he texts and says, “be home soon”. It’s a moment like no other. Your partner, your love, your friend, your help…he’s home.
Why I am saying ‘Just Because’ a lot more these days
We simply gathered the kiddos into the car on any empty Saturday morning and headed from the Philly Suburbs up to NYC… ‘Just Because.’
God’s Way or Your Way?
God’s Way or Your Way? [This is a guest story by contributor Agnes Amos-Coleman. If you missed her last post, it’s right here: The What Ifs. This post is regarding following God’s way rather than our own…such a good reminder!] I don’t know about you, in the past, I have prayed for situations in my life […]
Where There Is Peace
This is a guest poem by veteran Diva writer Ana Nunez. A little over a year ago, Ana submitted a devotional called “Fully Known and Truly Loved” (read that here.) and this year, she said she was working on some poetry.

Exstresso: God’s Way to Live without Stress
Have you ever been stressed? I would imagine most of us have been or currently are under a lot of stress. Life is stressful and messy at times. When you combine “ex” with “stress,” you get “ex-stress,” which means without stress. How can we live without stress?
Are You Ready for a Transformation?
So, what gets in the way of our transformation? In my experience, SHAME is the number reason. Again, the dictionary defines shame as a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.
3 Days in Paris (with a toddler) — A Diva Travel Diary
We had a wonderful holiday in Paris. We did about a week in Paris overall, with 3 days in Paris (including a trip to the Palace of Versailles) and then the rest at Disneyland Paris (and traveling) because we have a major Mickey Mouse fan on our hands. This post is just about the first half in the city, which really was romantic.
