The words flashed across my screen. A random email trying to sell something. You’re the One. However, it gave my heart pause, and when that happens, my mind starts to pay attention. The words are something we’d want said to us. The marketing, it’s…
Years ago, I watched a video replay of a Christian conference where the speaker talked about white noise. There are constantly noises all around us that we learn to tune out because they are white noise. The buzz of the ceiling fan, the hum…
Do you rely on lists to remember what you need to get or do? Do you need a list to keep track of your lists? Many of us would be lost without our lists, but I propose that even more people are crippled because…
Healthy community. We need to talk about it. The world we live in now is well, pretty much unhealthy and for a lot of reasons. When we turn on T.V. we find all kinds of unhealthy shows. We look at the news and it…
Can I tell you that I am closing the door on November with a heavy heart. I would love to be able to tell you how grateful I am for how far I have come this year, and all God is doing in my…
Recently, I started a new job, which has not been a smooth transition. I’m sure I haven’t navigated this change as gracefully as I could’ve, but I’m doing the best I can. For the first month of working there, a group of us traveled…
It was the perfect day. Cool, but the sun was shining. My son was home from school to watch our driveway get paved. He loves trucks, so this was going to be a special treat for him. My dad was there to experience this…
It was a couple of years ago on Christmas eve… I felt a sense of panic rising within. Christmas was tomorrow, and mentally, I wasn’t even ready for Thanksgiving. The holiday season had come and gone, and I felt like I was grasping at…
It’s been about 10 years since I had a new pair of glasses. With my prescription, that’s quite a long time to be wearing the same pair. My old glasses were falling apart. The lenses were scratched, cloudy, the frames had been bent, and…
I keep saying I’m okay, but honestly, I’m starting to question that. I wrote this to a friend a few weeks ago in an email. I thought I was okay. It was my standard answer when someone asked how I was doing. But privately,…
I found a lump in my breast. I actually had a dream the night before that I stepped out of the shower and looked in the mirror and my right breast was a strange shape. When I woke up, I jumped in the shower…
Life as a mother of four is rarely dull, but sometimes it’s less than noteworthy. That’s the kind of week I’ve had. Yes, we are constantly on the go and there a million things going on, but none of them are really worth writing…
If you are looking for a warm, light-hearted post to inspire your next praise and worship experience, then this post is not for you. If you want someone to relate to the moments when you’d rather shake your fist at God than thank Him…
I forgot my son’s birthday. Like, completely spaced it. I knew it was coming. I had even bought him an early birthday present. But the morning of his birthday? Nothing. I woke him up, made him do chores, and sent him to school like…
Okay. I need to talk about a subject that most of you, with children are probably familiar with. Relationships with your adult children. Let’s get really real for a moment. I don’t know about you but I struggle with living with my adult children.…
It started out like any other day… I hit the snooze button multiple times, then finally drug myself out of bed. I visited with my husband who had already been awake for over an hour, taken kids to cross country practice, made coffee, and…
