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…

Day 7 – Where Have All the Snow Days Gone?
I have to admit being a little disappointed that I didn’t get a call for a snow day or a two-hour delay today…it is definitely a Monday 🙂 I’m ready though and willing to start the week off well. A little sore from my weekend of skiing – no broken bones and I didn’t fall…

Day 5 – What Will the Neighbors Think?
I have often joked that wherever we go, we are kind of like the Beverly Hillbillies. I should just blare that music from our car when we enter the neighborhood. I’m looking for a house right now. I think maybe we should move out into the country! We are loud and busy and just a…

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…

Day 3 – Armed and Ready
I have been so excited to get into God’s word that last night I almost just stayed up past midnight getting started. I probably should have…might have been divine prompting…because this morning has been one mishap after another. I’m on outfit number 3. I apparently have 6 single socks with no partner…I searched with that…

It’s Monday…A good time to rejoice
Day 2 (woohoo!) Last night I attended a Bible study on Deuteronomy – I’m loving that book! I wouldn’t have ever thought that I could get so much out of that book – but Jesus is everywhere in Scripture! It is such a cool thing to seek and find Him! Last night we talked about…
