hospice, hope and healing

“Momma, I don’t want grandpa to die, but I know he will feel so much better in heaven.” My sweet 12 year old son uttered those words as we sat in an Urgent Care waiting to see the doctor for the two of us, and while my father lay in a hospital bed waiting for… Continue reading hospice, hope and healing

Can I Really Control the Weather?

“Mommy, it’s all your fault.” It was raining and although we had on all our pool attire, we were not heading to the pool.  It wasn’t just raining, it was pouring buckets.  And my five year old was spittin’ mad…spittin’ mad at me!     Lately I’ve been feeling like I have absolutely no control over… Continue reading Can I Really Control the Weather?

Are You Stuck in a Miry Bog Too?

A lot of people have told me lately that I’m too hard on myself. That I refer to myself as a mess way too much. I believe them.

There is something about that word…it’s peaceful to me. It’s like a sigh. My prayers have been many things… Continue reading Prayer and My Best Friend

My Money Faucet…Quick!! Someone Get a Wrench!

So I know in polite conversation you aren’t supposed to talk about God, politics or money. I already talk about God because He’s everything to me. And although I have very strong opinions about most things, I’ve decided to refrain from politics. But today I just gotta vent a bit about money. Oh my goodness!!!… Continue reading My Money Faucet…Quick!! Someone Get a Wrench!

My Peace Symbol

Peace. That peace symbol is all over the place.  I see it on everything.  It’s difficult to avoid sometimes.  I don’t particularly care for it to be honest.  It doesn’t really speak peace to me. It reminds me more of a time when there wasn’t peace…when people stood less for true peace and more for… Continue reading My Peace Symbol
