Losing an extreme amount of weight isn’t just a physical issue. I’ve lost 250 pounds so I can say this at least about my journey. It was and still is a very spiritual issue. I wanted to lose weight, eat healthily and exercise but no matter what diet I went on, even if...

Lost In the Story

I was in eighth grade and the sponsor for our junior high newspaper had made me fiction editor. It was a big honor because usually only ninth graders got that privilege. I was the only one who had written poems and short stories that had been published when I was a...

I Can’t Do This

by Teresa Shields Parker | Sep 23, 2015 | Devotional, Purpose, Teresa's Journey, Uncategorized, Write the Vision

The mid-day humidity envelops me like a blanket, smothering. My foot stumbles over rocks strewn on the path. My clothes cling to me. Sweat pours down my face. I swat at a fly that buzzes around my head. I can’t do this. This is too hard. The hill does not seem...
