I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide. However, God has given me the gift of gab and a talent to write, so I have decided to do what I do best to help others. I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure! “Where did God come from?” asked my sweet, eight-year-old Jake this past Sunday morning. Duh. Okay, now let’s be clear. I read scripture, I write devotionals, but I am in NO way a theologian or some Biblical scholar. Therefore, my answer was, “I haven’t a clue, but we can ask Him when we die.” Jake […]

I have a disease that I have dealt with for my entire life. It’s a terrible, debilitating sickness that holds me back, causes much grief and plagues plenty of my days. The illness is called People Pleasing. Honestly, if I say ‘no’ or think you’re mad at me, my stomach hurts and I feel just […]

We all go through life wanting to change something. Maybe it’s a job, an attitude, a physical attribute or that hideous color painted in your bathroom. Regardless of the situation, nothing will change unless we take action. Honestly, we can complain or discuss the problem at length, but if we never take the first step […]

Everyone needs a cheerleader. Some days more than others! Tuesday was my day to hang with one of my besties by the pool and review the events that have been transpiring this summer so far. As I divulged the good, bad and ugly, she listened, encouraged, and beat me over the head with a big […]

Last night I realized why they always say you need a vacation from your vacation. Grrr. The laundry, cleaning and grocery shopping necessary to get back into the swing of things is overwhelming to say the least. What’s interesting is that I now understand the phrase “getting back into the swing” because it’s obvious I’VE […]

Having worked for an online retail store many moons ago, I still remember Christmas in July. As with any retailer, we had to have our Christmas collection selected, ordered and the catalog had to be complete in the beginning of every summer. Do you know how hard it is to get into Christmas decorations when […]
