My Heart Broke
Friday night we had our second Rio Rancho UMC Women in Ministry event for the year, "Lighten Your Load." It was a night of music, food and fellowship, prayers stations and a service project to benefit our youth. It was a wonderful evening. Our prayer stations were...
Rearing its head
I wasn't quite prepared for the neck fusion I just had. I've been in quite a bit of pain for a couple of years and after injections, medication, chiropractic care, and physical therapy, it was time for a surgical intervention. The pain after surgery was not what I...
World Hemophilia Day 2016
Just about every day, week or month can be associated with awareness. World AIDS Day, International Blood Cancer Awareness Week, Dental Health Month….and of course there are the ones that are for fun like International Talk Like a Pirate Day and National...
Asking for Help
I have such a hard time asking for help. It’s not in my DNA. I have always been of the ilk that there was nothing I couldn’t do, so I needed to do it all! I laugh when I think about how I was when Joe and I were newlyweds. I set the table every night after working...

Bleeding Disorder Awareness Month
March is BleedingDisorder Awareness Month. It is a month when our community puts their best efforts forward to spread awareness about the disorders that our community live with every, single day. Personally I don’t do anything different during the month of...

There is something intimate and sacred about listening to a recital. When a musician stands up to play an instrument or sing they are not just "performing," they are giving a part of themselves to the world. When you play your instrument after months and months of...
Really, God?
Has God ever asked you to do something and you want to look him in the eyes and say, "Really?" Whenever I "hear" God it's usually through feeling a nudge on my heart. It's like someone pushing me with the tips of their fingers, "Go on, Cazandra, go to her. ...
