SHAKING IT UP!
Apr 21st
I want to let you in on a secret: things are changing around here!
You may remember when I first established the ministry eighteen months ago it was born out of my desire to encourage women in their faith as they faced their own life struggles. In fact, the foundational verse of Comfort & Compassion Ministry (CCM) was 2 Corinthians 1:3-4,

FIRED UP!
Aug 18th
Angry. So angry. Not at anyone in particular, or even at God. I was just furious at life and how it was turning out.
My childhood dreams didn’t include gut-wrenching endless pain. I never set out to be crippled. My bucket list never came close to this.
Few people seemed to grasp the severity of my illness. Everyone seemed so carefree and happy. While my peers shopped for adorable Easter outfits for their children, I was at home gasping for my next breath.

BIBLE STUDY: GOT QUESTIONS?

LYING STILL IN A BED OF FLAMES
Jun 1st
Lying on the couch, every joint in my body rigid and on fire, I learned what it meant to lie still in God’s arms. I couldn’t move without igniting vicious flames deep inside my bones. Bible study was out; pain numbed my brain and prevented me from making sense of words.
