Those Things and Thankfulness
There is this thing I keep talking about. This thing called thankfulness. I keep coming back to it in my life and in my writing. I think it is because God keeps bringing me back to it. Over and over and over again. Today my devotional time included the verse I often use to deal…

But he said…
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 I have taken for granted that I understand this verse. I’ve had it memorized for years, but I don’t think I fully grasp its meaning. I think I’ve been skating along the surface…

Shake it UP
I finally did what I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I didn’t bring work home and I spent some beautiful moments thoroughly enjoying my kids. We spent the evening together without homework, work, or chores. The best, most enjoyable thing was dancing. Seeing my little girls’ faces light up while I danced like…

Up to My…Head
When I started this blog I wanted to offer hope with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure. I can, at times, be a little funny. My amusing side has been slipping a bit lately, and I’d like to find that voice again. As I begin this new year, I’m thinking I want…

More Than a Conqueror Mentality or Starting The Year as NOT a Failure
You know how sometimes our children show us a lot about ourselves…usually the stuff we don’t want to see displayed for all the world to see. My kids are really good at it. I can be sure if there is something I don’t want repeated, it will get said. If there is a behavior I…
