Confessions Corner

Beginning June 17, 2026 I will be offering one-on-one's with me to discuss my book, Confessions for the Narrow Road: A Journey with My Mom. The sessions will last 90 minutes on Zoom and cost $100. During the sessions, you'll get the opportunity to share your AHA moments, whatever inspired you, the confessions that challenged you and ask any questions you have. And if you're interested, I'll do the same. I wanted to offer something special this summer to connect with readers a

This confession comes from the reflection of the verse - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. —1 Thessalonians 5:18 As I read the reflection I wrote based on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, I am once again encouraged to see the challenges in my life differently. It's not easy to walk through hard times, but I realize that for myself, God wants me to look back and remember how He's been faithful to me in the past and because of His fait

This confession came from one of the Seeing Gold reflections in the book. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. —Psalm 119:72 A quote from this reflection that I wanted to share, before I get into my thoughts for how this confession affects me today is that "suffering can teach us valuable things about God and His Word because as we learn to turn to Him in our distress, He meets us there and shows us things we may not have gotten an

This confession came from the reflection of Psalm 19:9b-11. The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward. —Psalm 19:9b–11 The reflection I did on these verses in my book Confessions for the Narrow Road: a Journey with My Mom, talked about trusting in the commandments of

Confession from 1991 verse, Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. —Proverbs 3:5–6 As I think about this verse, I remember this confession that I wrote along with several others for this year, 1991, when God gave my mom one of the most important verses in all of scripture. To trust in the Lord always, may seem impossible, but it's certainly something to s

This confession is by far my most favorite confession in the whole devotional, Confessions for the Narrow Road: a Journey with My Mom, and I'll tell you why. The verse God gave my mom in 1999 was "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." (Psalm 19:14, KJV) As I wrote this reflection, I was focused on wanting my words and my thoughts to please God. But what struck me even more was looking at G

Confession from Psalm 46:1 "God is my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble." God is my refuge! This was my life verse for many years. As I mention in the book, God changed my life verse to Psalm 23:2-3 because He wanted me to focus on how He was restoring my soul, rather than focusing on the trouble I was going through. But as I wrote this confession, I was impressed by the fact that God is my refuge and strength. He is all I need, always! I needed to
