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…

Day 4 – In Spite of Me
I few years ago I had the privilege of leading a women’s retreat for a church I used to attend. The title was “In Spite of Me.” (I cannot take the credit for the title because my friend Phoebe came up with it.) I loved it. I still do, because my salvation is totally in…

Day 3 – All About Me
How is it possible we have another snow day? Not that I’m complaining, but I kind of would like a summer break! And I feel like we are getting farther and farther behind at school…which, of course, we are. I do see this as God’s provision for me. I have caught up on my teacher…

My Life…Living It
Thank you so much for all your encouraging words and prayers. I feel badly that I have used this blog so often to share my struggles, and lately not as much my blessings. I kinda feel like I’m just plugging along waiting for God to “fix” some things. He definitely doesn’t work on my schedule…at…

And Then There’s Me…

And then there’s me. I think I might actually be more confused by my issues, struggles, emotions, and stresses than…

Got Direction?
Does anyone else have a pile of book on or around their nightstand? Mine is getting to the point of ridiculous. Not only that but there are books on the chest at the foot of my bed, stacked in bookshelves throughout my house, and in various bags I carry around in the off chance I’ll…

Do You Know How to Live Grace?
Have you ever gotten a continual message from God…over and over and over again in as many different ways as you can imagine? Lately that has been my experience with the gospel. Every book I pick up, every sermon I hear, every quote I find, and every verse I read points me to the gospel…or…

sensory issues, socks, and serious stuff
So the other morning, my youngest daughter decided to completely fall apart about socks. To say it was a disaster is putting it mildly. About 5 minutes into the exchange, I realized that I was acting more immature than my 6 year old. I wasn’t sure how to stop the spiral, so unfortunately….I didn’t. I…
