Sometimes God speaks to us in the most unusual ways. Usually I need to adhere to the 'Be Still and Know that I am God' in order to really hear Him. But today, He just jumped out at me. And in all places - Kohl's (I know, I've recently opted to boycott them, but that's another story).
Just wandering through Kohl's I came across a really pretty plaque (I should have bought it). For some reason, it spoke to my heart. Now I know why. God wanted me to share it with a few blog friends.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
This simple verse speaks volumes to my heart. Often, I am questioned by non-Christians how I can believe in a God I cannot see. But it is through FAITH that I believe. He has given me tangible evidence that He is here; nature, relationships, healing.
Many blessings,
Allison
Mom 2 Chel N Justin
I used to define myself as a working mom who believed in the benefits of daycare, preschool & public school; breast-feeding is great, but not the only way to feed your child. Born & raised in northern NJ transplanted to Georgia. I still believe those things, but now I simply choose to define myself as a child of the Most High God. A work in progress and have no problem sharing my journey. Recovering food addict & compulsive over eater. Afflicted with clinical depression yet trusting God to show me the way.
The Mayor
My beloved hubby, C. He has a heart for God. Some have even described him as "Sold Out for God" - and that's not a bad thing. He's not ashamed to worship openly. He captured my heart when we were just 15.
Songbird
Our adult daughter, C. She has a heart of gold and wants to be friends with everyone. She's sensitive & sweet and beautiful inside & out. Love watching her navigate life and keeping true to herself.
Cool Breeze
Our adult son, J (formerly known as Slugger). A gentle giant. His newest adventure is trying to figure out 'what's next' in life.

About Me
- ~*~ Allison ~*~
- First & foremost, I am a child of the MOST HIGH God! After giving my heart away to the 'world', I decided to take it back & give it to the One who it truly belongs to – God. While everyone else may see me as 'damaged', God sees me as someone made new. He took my shattered heart & put it back together piece-by-piece. From there I am a devoted wife, working mom, daughter, sister, friend, church volunteer, victim advocate, student & rape survivor. I've been through a lot in my years, but God has seen me through it all.
