I’ve been quiet. I haven’t written a single thought since my last blog post on May 10th. That last blog post was five days before we received the ultimate blessing. The words have swirled, but I haven’t put pen to paper or rather fingers to the keyboard. Sometimes there are no words—no words great enough, [...]
For seven years, I’ve prayed, waited, and trusted. Seven years of Mother’s Days that were spent with tear filled eyes. But, God had a plan—He always has a plan—I was just impatient. Did you know that the number 7 appears over 700 times in the Bible—from Creation to Revelation. The number 7 is a symbol [...]
Fear is a liar, but so is time. The age old saying, “Time heals all wounds,” is a lie. Time isn’t the healer. Time will not ease your pain, dry your tears, bring you comfort, or hear your pleas. The only thing time does—it keeps moving forward, one second at a time—moving you further from [...]
If you’re like me you’ve seen the saying that, “Do not be afraid is written in the Bible 365 times.” And, if you’re also like me, you probably haven’t pulled out my Bible and counted the actual number of times, but I do know it’s in there A LOT. As believers, we’re called to have [...]
Was your 2019 difficult? Did you suffer grief, hurt, longing? Or was it full of happiness, healing, and fulfillment? Whatever 2019 brought you, you were blessed. Blessed with the presence of the One who walks with us in our despair and our elation. Blessed that whatever situations you were brought through, you weren’t alone. Blessed [...]
Dear Sweet Sister, I see you. You aren’t alone. I know Christmas is tough for you. It’s tough for me, too. I know you had your heart set on this being “the year.” You’ve had your special announcement planned out for months or, if you’re like me, years. I know your perfect Christmas wish can’t [...]
I’ve seen this picture 👇🏼 several times on my FB feed and thought it was a great idea. I’ve read the book of Luke multiple times, but somehow it had slipped my mind how this very special book opens. In the very first chapter, not even halfway through, only 5 verses into the chapter we [...]
August 29, 2009 we said our vows in front of all our friends and family. That was just the beginning. Neither one of us knew what this thing called marriage was going to bring us-we just had us, lots of love, and a one year old Shih Tzu who ruled continues to rule the roost. [...]
I’m a fake. A fraud. A phony. Faking life. Faking writing. Faking faith. Fake: not genuine, counterfeit. Well, that’s not the definition I was thinking of. I was thinking more along the lines of this one-a person claiming to be something that one is not. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Fake it ‘til you make [...]
I haven’t written a blog post since March 21st. I haven’t posted or shared to my blog account on Facebook since April 22nd. My last blog account post on Instagram-April 12th. Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m selfish and it’s not so much for you, as for me. It’s to show me how [...]
