The Girl who Sang in her Pain!
Growing up, I dreamed of “Prince Charming” sweeping me off my feet or that “Knight in Shining Armor” riding in and saving the day! A life of ease with the American Dream attached. I imagined how many children I would have and what I would name each of them. I pictured the castle I would … Continue reading The Girl who Sang in her Pain!
Potty Training and Christmas Cookies
Can you smell the aroma... Of Christmas cookies, of course?! While reflecting on the birth of Jesus, especially the conditions of the location (a smelly stable), I could somewhat relate as the grandson’s potty training was part of our daily routine. That meant “potty-runs” were scheduled every 30 minutes throughout our fun-filled days of baking … Continue reading Potty Training and Christmas Cookies
a Performer or a Rescued Heart?
This life is not about a performance to be witnessed but a rescued heart ignited. Performances are acts with “action” and “cut” as their bookends, whereas the rescued heart is a continual blaze without pause giving the world a correct summation of Christ! This Christmas, are you a performer or a rescued heart? As Christians … Continue reading a Performer or a Rescued Heart?

But since I haven’t, I … Continue reading Mad Dash

“MEOW”
I don’t know about you but for me it doesn’t take much for my focus to shift, and before you know it, I’m plummeting. The Bible reveals Satan as a roaring lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). I love looking up word synonyms and when I looked up devour, I happened across two words … Continue reading “MEOW”
Celebrating Life (Ending no dairy, no sugar fast)
I’m very thankful for friends and family sending out such sweet birthday greetings, not to mention a wonderful husband that makes sure I have a very special day! I’ve had a blast getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, a glazed & a pumpkin-filled croissant from Burney’s Sweets & More besides eating part of my … Continue reading Celebrating Life (Ending no dairy, no sugar fast)
My 28th Birthday Gift!
Many jump right in to marriage and having babies with childlike naivete. Now within a day of turning 56 years of age, I’m confronted with the depth of immaturity that was my reality especially regarding having babies. My thoughts were continually about myself. Having a third baby was something I wanted! I was thankful for … Continue reading My 28th Birthday Gift!
