Hi Everyone, Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog today. I am beginning a journey to wholeness with my granddaughter, Rhea Pollard. Take a few minutes and listen to my video blog (click the link below) so you can understand what it is we are trying to accomplish. As I headed out to the hospital I already had in mind this journey. God was preparing my heart to purposely live this journey in the public eye. Not because I’m special, by no means, but because this journey is not just for my benefit but for the benefit of others. There are multipleRead More →

Q: God has brought you through some difficult situations, Carla; tell us a little bit about your life: Carla:  Carrie, my life as a child was far from ideal.  Both my parents were heavy drinkers.

I was in a hurry to leave so that I could be inRead More →

Week 3: The Value of Fear I’m so glad you’re here and you’ve stuck with this study to the very end. I can’t believe we’re finishing up this week. It has been a blessing to share God’s word with you.

Week 2: Victors Over Fear Wow, I am so thankful for God’s Word! In the Bible, God gives us examples not only of what to do, but of what not to do in life. In God’s wisdom, He encourages us to choose the path that leads to success by showing us the good steps, and the missteps others have made before us. We understand from this contrast that when we allow our steps to be guided by His Word and His Spirit we can live victorious, godly and purpose-filled lives. We had an interesting week following the path that led the Israelites and King SaulRead More →

Over the summer I had the privilege of writing an online Bible study for Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies’ In The Gap Facebook Group. It was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to share this with you. So today we begin a three-week study on Fear. This first week we’re looking at Biblical examples of those who fell victim to fear; the next week we’re looking at examples of those who were victors over fear; and the final week we will be studying the value of fear. Yes, dear friends, there is value in fear. I hope you’re excited and want to dig intoRead More →
