By Kristy Solis Life is filled with blessings, even during the difficult times. Reflect on who has walked this journey of life with you. God should be first and foremost. Sometimes in life, you need to bow your head to the Lord, say a prayer to the Lord and wait out a storm with […]

By Kristy Solis In this new year, cancer showed up in my life. I can attest to “The Lord showed up bigger!” The cancer has already altered our family’s life; however, my hope is for the change will be for the good. “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. […]

By Kristy Solis The new year has begun! What do you look forward to in a new year? What does your family look forward to in a new year? My children said “peace” and “turtles.” My youngest daughter is obsessed with turtles. Yet, turtles have been known to symbolize peace. Sounds good to me. May […]

By Kristy Solis Maybe it is in our human nature, but we think we need to succumb to others or we need to be who others expect us to be. This expectation is even imparted to our children. Sometimes, as parents, we may place unnecessary expectations on our children. When this occurs, it creates undue […]
