God. Family. Ministry.
I was drying my hair this morning and praying for some friends who have been in need of a little more help from others lately. I thought about how hard it can be for us to accept help when we need it and I thought about how Jesus says for us to cast our cares…
I’ve lost track of what day it is. I’ve lived in the same pajamas for about a week. I’ve baked and read and painted and read and then I baked some more. I think I cleaned some things too. Surprisingly, when you aren’t “working” there isn’t much desire for a nap, so I’ve been conscious…
It’s not a secret that I am grieving through a recent life change. Some days I handle it well, and other days I end up crying into my pillow simply because I find my daughter’s fuzzy pajama pants left behind in the dryer. I’m not proud of it, but it has truly knocked me off…
This year has been one of my hardest, emotionally. Both of my girls have huge milestones this year. My oldest graduates college in December. I know that with her well-earned degree in zoology, she won’t stay too close to home. And my youngest graduated high school this Spring and moves out in a few short…
One of my greatest honors as a blogger is being a member of the Bible Gateway Blogger Grid. It offers many opportunities to glean from other bloggers and to be a part of something bigger than just this little blog of mine. I also get the chance to add Bibles free to my growing collection…
I imagine it to feel like a butterfly emerging from its chrysillis. The life I once knew has changed forever. I will never be the same. Everything is beautiful, yet strange. I used to have a routine. A regular rythym. Carpool, homework, dance class, theater rehearsal, Bible study and more homework. Plan meals, plan play…
Have you ever had a moment when a good friend leaves you speechless and teary eyed? Maybe they’ve surprised you with the perfect gift. Maybe they said all the words you needed to hear, even if you didn’t know you needed to hear them. Or maybe, like my friend, God used them in a way…
I really wanted to like this series. It’s the Bible, after all. But I think that is exactly why I didn’t really like it. I had seen it advertised, and asked to be a part of this review so I could receive my free copy. However, once I did, I was disappointed. Before I tell…
I may be a little too obsessed with my dog. I’ve raised her since she was three weeks old, so we have a bond unlike any other. She’s smart, makes me laugh and is just an overall beauty- as most black labradors are. She’s also pretty spoiled since I tend to over compensate for the…
I am not convinced that the omnipresent God is actively pursuing lost and chronic sinners. I’ve listened to a lot of well-intentioned artists sing of a God who will knock over obstacles and climb any mountain just to be with us. I think that’s only true if we are the one to make the first…
