Making it through this life clinging to Jesus, whilst always battling the flesh.
When I created this blog, I gave it the name "Faith With A Limp" for several reasons. My name isn't "Faith," it's actually Leslie - (which most of you know.) If we haven't met, it's nice to meet you! My name isn't Faith, but I definitely do in fact have a bit of a permanent …
The way up is steep. Challenging. Gritty. Unpredictable. But man, is it illuminating. My mountain looks a little different than most, but I think it's safe to say that each of us ventures up a "mountain" at some point. What does your climb look like? "This mountain didn't seem so daunting at the beginning of …
So it's September, and it's also "service dog month!" September is probably my favorite month out of the year. It's the first "ber" month after the hot summer. Even summers in the North Georgia mountains can be pretty brutal sometimes, so us mountain dwellers always look forward to the approaching Fall. Not only do we …
Sometimes life feels a lot like you're the receiving end of a powerful blow that you can't seem to avoid, no matter the effort to evade it.

We all get to that point in life, at some point. For many of us, if not the majority of us - we'll reach a pivotal split in the life tracks multiple times. When we hit the cross roads of life, we're inevitably forced to adapt and grow. It's often an intimidating or downright scary …
I had ample opportunities to enjoy life regardless of the circumstantial inconveniences. Even before my condition reared its ugly head. There were years I slept through, and I don't mean laying down and snoozing. I'm talking about the fact that I coasted through opportunities, second and third chances to make something right, tons of time, …
Is there such a thing? Depends on who you ask, I suppose. To me, taking flight amongst adversity means making every attempt to keep your feet firmly planted - all the while making every effort to remain weightless and take flight in faith, despite the cinderblocks of stress, burden and pain that are somehow permanently …
I'm always making an attempt to be that loving whirlwind of sunshine, smiles, and sarcastically humorous girl that so many of you know and love. I just sometimes get tired - and I plummet. I too... weep. Tears, yes. But physically it feels as though my body weeps. I weep with debilitating pain, exhaustion, sadness, …
Since the new year kicked off things have been busy, and not just in my life, but seemingly nationwide and worldwide. It's no secret that we've been battling this Covid chaos, and this pandemic has thrown us all for a loop. Our careers have been put on hold, putting us in financial binds, and the …
