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…

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…

Spaghetti Girl
My quiet time is happening rather late in the day, but I’m so very thankful for it whenever it happens. Last night I was blessed to spend time with all 5 of my children to celebrate Peter’s 14th birthday! My oldest drove down to spend the evening with us. It was so nice to have…

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…

Am I Lovable?
I’ve caught the spring cleaning bug…unfortunately at the moment I’ve always actually caught some other bug so I don’t have the energy to do all that I planned to do today. L But I did have enough energy to organize some shelves in my bedroom. I found a journal from a while back and read…

Life in the Back Row
There are things that bring back very vivid memories for me…some painful some not. This evening I was playing through some praise music I found in my organizing spree and I began to play “Mighty to Save.” Everyone needs compassion Love that’s never failing Let mercy fall on me Everyone needs forgiveness The kindness of…

What Happens Afterwards?
It’s been a weird week or so. Do you know what I mean? I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s been a little off. I think I know part of the reason and it’s quite surprising to me. Particularly because I thought I was kinda past all this stuff. You know all healed…
