God. Family. Ministry.
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…
In February of this year my daughter called me from college to let me know she had been offered an internship. A second year Junior at Union University in TN, she has been studying for her degree in Zoology and will be working at a zoo located in Minot, ND. We live in Alabama. I’m…
No parent wants to get a call from their child in the middle of the night, but they seem to be part of the parenting package. Last Saturday Lucy hurt her ankle while having a little too much fun on the dance floor. She texted me once she got to her friend’s house to let…
I sat there blinking back tears. I never thought I would see myself in that place again. After over a decade of living outside that life, I somehow managed to be a part of a Moms of Preschoolers group, even though both of my kids are nearly grown. Just the day before I had taken…
