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. The problem is that I feel like a mess…I feel like I just can’t get my life together…any part of it. I told a friend recently that…

Loving the Unlovable…Seriously Unlovable
A few weeks ago I posted about being done. These past several weeks have been a bit difficult with regard to my attitude about my ex-husband. I forgave him 3 years ago, but sometimes I still get annoyed with him. Sometimes I just want him to be nice. And sometimes I want him to just…

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!!!…

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…

Anyone Else Feel Done?
Today I feel done. I am done. Done with disrespect and disobedience and difficulties. Done with trying to reason with teenagers. Done with trying to reign in kindergarteners. Done with trying to make decisions. Done with trying to get organized. Done with cleaning up the mess my ex-husband has made. Done with trying to understand…

Joyfully Enduring
Endurance: n. 1. The act, quality, or power of withstanding hardship or stress. 2. The state or fact of persevering: continuing survival. This past weekend I was blessed to hear a sermon about endurance. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take notes because I’d left my purse, Bible and notebook in the car in my mad…

Repeat Offender…Me
Isn’t it just the way…when you start talking a lot about something, it becomes something big in your life? Even if it already was a big thing. I’ve been really blessed to share a lot about my story lately. And a big part of my story is forgiveness. I can’t overemphasis its importance in my…
