Gwennie

What to write... I think many of us when faced with the prospect of putting ourselves on a page come up empty.  I am Gwen, the wife of an amazing husband.  I have two wonderful children of my own and Andre has three beautiful girls. I am the grandmother of 7 grandkids.   I have loved God my whole life, I can't remember a time without God. He has been the air that I breathe since I can remember.  Today Andre and I are doing the one thing I never thought I would have the courage to do.  We are sailing. Living on our boat full time, while we tell the world why He is worth serving.

THe Names of God Banner scaled

Every day, I’m reminded of the power that’s released when a name is spoken. And the greatest, most life-altering names we can speak are the names of Yahweh – our God. There is so much authority, peace, healing, and redemption in the name of Jesus. Not only because of the blood He shed, but because of who He is – Savior, King, Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend. His name is not just a title. It’s the power that turns dead ends into beginnings, battles into victories, and sinners into daughters.

As children of God, surrender isn’t about defeat—it’s about trust. It’s the holy exchange of our limited understanding for His infinite wisdom. It’s about standing at the edge of what we know and choosing to believe that even in this, even here, God is good. Surrender means giving up our right to know “why” in order to rest in the truth of Who – Who holds it all together.

Preparing for the Season

Forgiveness Banner 2 scaled

Preparing for these seasons is not about having all the answers but about having the faith to trust in the One who does. It is about surrender—about acknowledging that we cannot control time, but we can walk in step with the One who holds it. This is humbling because it reminds us of our dependence on God, and yet, it is also freeing because it lifts the burden of striving off our shoulders.

The Boogeyman of My Past

Boogeyman of my Past scaled

I can’t rewrite the past. I can’t unmake the mother I was. But I can surrender what remains. I can place it into the hands of a God who heals, who restores, who makes all things new. And I can rejoice, knowing that my daughter has broken the cycle. That she has chosen faith over fear. That she is raising her daughter not in the shadows of what was, but in the light of what can be.
