God said No and That’s a Good Thing
I just have to begin by saying thank you for all the prayers and kind words of encouragement. Yesterday I finally called to find out test results. I was twisted in knots waiting and decided that it was time to just find out already. When I called the nurse took a minute and then came…

Taking 4 Steps Back
Once upon a time… There was a little girl who dreamed of being married and raising beautiful little children who would love the Lord and each other. There wasn’t a white picket fence, but there was a big oak tree with a tire swing, a creek with tadpoles, a kitchen counter with a fresh loaf…

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…

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…

So Loved
I feel kind of silly because I so wanted to write daily and that lasted about a week. Best laid plans… I’m determined to get in the habit because it helps my focus. Hopefully, tomorrow?!? This week is my last of graduate class homework! Yippee! I really don’t even have time to write right this…
