Do I ever have a good week?
I was asked this morning. “Do I ever have a good week?” And my answer is, “Absolutely!” I absolutely have good weeks…but not easy weeks. I have no easy weeks at this point in my life. And, to be honest, these past several months have been the hardest of my life in many ways. Unexpectedly…

Awful weeks…beware.
We have all had those weeks. You know the ones…where not a single thing goes well. Where awful seems to be the word that describes most things, if not all things. Last week would qualify as one of those weeks. Awful, awful, awful. But in just a few short days God has provided some relief…some…

The Burden of Blessing
Today I am at my home and it is quiet and peaceful and I’m feeling blessed to be here. The kids are sleeping soundly (and late woohoo!!) I debated if I should enjoy this blissful quiet asleep or awake. I opted for awake. So rarely do I get a moment of solitude and quiet. I’m…

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…

Hanging by a Thread
Tonight was exceedingly rough. I really dislike those nights. So instead of sleeping I decided to write. I can’t sleep anyway…don’t want to wake up any friends…and I’ve already poured out my heart to God face first in the carpet. I’m back to those days. My face in the carpet days. I don’t have a…

Who Am I Going With?
Again I’m faced with big decisions… Again… Do you hear the underlying groan in my writing? I sat with my dear friend and prayer partner recently and said, “I’m tired of trying to discern God’s will.” I felt so ungodly saying that…so grumpy, tired, and sinful. I want to be better at it. I feel…

A Father’s Love…
Tomorrow is Father’s Day. It’ll be my first Father’s Day without my dad. He passed away in September. Dad was an amazingly humble man. Generous. Honorable. Loyal. Sacrificial. Dad was a West Point grad, an Army officer who served his country with distinction, a loving husband for over 60 years, and a father to…

Count it all what?
I’ve been working for over a week on a post about counting it all joy. And honestly I’m still unsure that I truly understand it as much as I’d like, but I decided that maybe what I need to do is share and see where God takes us… Today I have two meetings…

Seriously…

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…
