We’ve Come A Long Way

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

A few weeks ago I read, “Rocket Boys: a Memoir” by Homer H. Hickam. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. It also made me ask myself, what kind of determination does it take to learn something difficult in order to achieve a dream? If I were failing algebra, would I want to… Continue reading We’ve Come A Long Way

Masks, Sheep, and the Lamb

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

Yesterday was the first day I wore a mask in public for any length of time. It made my face too warm, and it made me feel as if I should keep my mouth shut. LOL That was not the strangest part of it, though. As a person who is totally blind, I rely on… Continue reading Masks, Sheep, and the Lamb

Are You Scared?

A Time of Endurance

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

The other day, my husband did a Facebook live video for our church. A verse he highlighted was Matthew 24:13, “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Endure: Verb. suffer (something painful or difficult) patiently. A similar word, given when I googled the definition, was experience. He that shall… Continue reading A Time of Endurance

Words to live by

As an author and a homeschool mama who happens to be blind, I’ve learned that the only way to make it in this life is to rely fully on God. Best way to do that is read His Word.

 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV

 

“But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 KJV
