While enjoying my “porch time” this morning, I was listening to this song. It has been a favorite of mine for around 15 years for many different reasons, including the lyrics. Lord you’re holy, Lord you’re holy and we lift you up and magnify your name Lord you’re holy, Lord you’re holy and we lift you […]

I am almost 48 years old. Yikes! I thought I would have it all figured out by now, but alas, I do not. Instead, I am still searching for my path. I am good at finding a path, but is it truly the one I need to be on? That is the question.  In 2011, […]

Repost from 2007: At our small group last night, we learned about making our heart Christ’s home. The small group leader went into detail about different rooms and the things that may be in those rooms. It really illuminated many things to me and convicted me, as well. Here is the link to a pamphlet […]

How many true friends do you have? I am talking about someone that you would call in the middle of the night if you needed prayer type of friend. How many? For many, this number would be low or even zero. Making and keeping friends as adult women is difficult. Not only are we caught […]

What dreams have you had lately? My dreams have been full of change. I can see why. This has been a few years of change with starting a business, selling our home, moving to a new home, changing churches, moving one of my chicks into college, and letting go of things we are no longer […]

Today marks the one year anniversary of my grandmother’s death. Today, my post is the eulogy that I gave at her funeral. Enjoy and be blessed. When I was thinking about what I wanted to say, I kept going back to family. What was my Grandma most proud of? Her family. She loved her family […]

Dreaming a new dream. All I can think is the song from Les Miserables “I Dreamed a Dream.” It just keeps running through my head, even though my life is definitely not like Fantine’s, some of the words describe how I feel or have felt. Here are the parts that keep running through my head:  […]

Don’t get me wrong. I love my life. I am content with my life. However, I have recently begun to wonder am I really living? I am breathing, therefore, I am alive, however, am I enjoying and living each day the fullest?  The answer is “no.” I live. I get through my days. I take […]

How is it that when I have plenty of time (AKA this summer) that I didn’t get any jobs and now that I am in the throes of school (AKA lots of reading) that I get 6-8 a week? I really don’t get it, but that is why I haven’t been doing much on the […]
