Trusting Him with Them
I’m sitting outside on my back porch with my laptop, my Bible, and 3000 MOSQUITOES!!!! It is so beautiful out here – cool breeze, sunny, and quiet! I love it. But I HATE these mosquitoes! They have even bitten my hands! It is very difficult to scratch my fingers and type. My 14 year old…

Changing Me
What if something could change so that I wasn’t so very overwhelmed? What would it be? I’m not talking about the things that would make life easier like not having to work, having a nanny and a cook, or receiving a ton of money. I’m talking about the realistic things. The things that could actually…

Words in my Head
It’s 1:17 am and I absolutely should take off my reading glasses, close my laptop, slide under my flower-covered comforter and place my head securely on my soft pillows, but I just can’t right now. Because I want to write now. I want to write something profound and moving and well-written. The other day I…

Just One Day at a Time
I tend to be a “nervous Nelly”…a second guesser…a wring-my-hands in worry woman…a twisted up in knots decision-maker… That probably isn’t a surprise if you’ve read my blogs. I’m currently doing a Bible study about discerning God’s will. It has been great. Nothing earth-shattering, but still convicting as I seek His will on other decisions.…

All of It and More
I have started no less than three blogs this week. I have thought of about fifteen I want to write. Time has been limited so I had hoped yesterday would be the day to put words to page, but God had different plans. I spent the day at the hospital with my mom. It is…

It All Depends on Where You Look
Recently I went on a walk through a beautiful park. It was almost a spring day…chilly, but still warm enough to skip the jacket. The trees were still bare, the flowers still asleep, and the air still a little crisp. At one point, there was an overlook that provided a lovely view of the marsh…

Had You Known?
It was about this time 6 years ago when my husband left. And although in many ways I’m stronger and better…the repercussions still vibrate through my life. In the midst of something wonderful, I can feel the stirrings of fear seeping into my thoughts, the beat of insecurity pulsing through me, and the blending of…

Don’t Worry…Just Walk
This weekend was such a blessing. It set me up for a good attitude Monday…even with the sleep deprivation factor. That factor is just life. I was joking with my daughter that I’d look so much younger if the past 6 years hadn’t happened. I’d be less stressed and more rested…but alas, the wrinkles are…

Some Quiet Please…
In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15 Ever wanna be alone? Just for a minute or two? Me too. (I’m assuming you said yes.) Today I tried for a minute…not even two…and it was a disaster. It was a wet and dreary day…

Spaghetti Girl
My quiet time is happening rather late in the day, but I’m so very thankful for it whenever it happens. Last night I was blessed to spend time with all 5 of my children to celebrate Peter’s 14th birthday! My oldest drove down to spend the evening with us. It was so nice to have…
