Rest For My Soul

Some people can sleep just a few hours per night and wake up fresh as a daisy, ready to face the day. I am not one of those people. At all. I've tried to be. I want to be able to stay up late, get up early, and get a lot done, but it backfires … Continue reading Rest For My Soul →

Song

Just a song today. It says a lot! 😊 I Have Been Blessed

Blessed Beyond Measure

Shopping is usually a stressful experience for me. I head out with a specific goal in mind, something that I feel is simple and straightforward, but come up empty-handed after searching high and low. I don't know if the problem is more with my expectations, the selections available, or my refusal to pay ridiculous prices … Continue reading Blessed Beyond Measure →

Backseat Driver

True Story: I am a horrible passenger. I don’t mean to be, but I seriously do not feel safe sitting close to the white line! I don’t know if it’s an anxiety thing or something with my perception, but I feel like I’m about to land in the ditch most of the time (Surely it’s … Continue reading Backseat Driver →

Intention

I've been pondering on the phrase, "living intentionally." I've heard it in passing, from various sources, and have taken it to just mean thinking about what you're doing and having a reason for doing it. And that totally makes sense, but I don't recall hearing the phrase mentioned in relation to living for the Lord. … Continue reading Intention →

Christmas in July (or August)

Little Bit is not the most patient little girl (I guess that’s just part of being a kid). If we’re in the car for ten minutes, it’s the classic, ”Are we there yet?” or her refrain, ”It’s a long way!” Both said in the most pitiful, whining voice imaginable. And forget about taking the opportunity … Continue reading Christmas in July (or August) →

Peace

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:7 I struggled with writing this post because I didn’t really want to talk about sad things, but I need to add a little bit to what I shared last time. I briefly mentioned tragedies in general, … Continue reading Peace →

Anxiety

In the last month or so, there's just been a lot happen in our family and community in the way of accidents and sickness. It felt like so much was happening all at once and I let myself get into quite a state...I went beyond worrying about the things that were actually happening, and found … Continue reading Anxiety →

Just Imagine

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.Matthew 19:26 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1 I don't want to wish Little Bit's life away, but sometimes I can't help imagining what she'll be … Continue reading Just Imagine →

Mirror, Mirror

I'm sure any parent will agree that if you want to see a really clear picture of yourself, have a child! All the shirts and things that say "mini me" are labeled that way for a reason. Being able to see myself in my little girl is amazing. She definitely has my wild hair, thinks … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror →
