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! When the days become more like drudgery than opportunities – you know something needs to change. Change? How about winning the lottery? Moving to the beach with servants at our beckon call? What about a life on Easy Street? Now that is what I call some good changes!!! HA! Most of the time we think […]

I’ve known for many years that God does not tempt us (see James 1:13), but what I am recently realizing is that He does test us. EEK!!! Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. […]

As Lent came around this year, I really had no intention of giving anything up. Not that I wasn’t interested, but I didn’t have any ideas on what to do. However, on Monday I had a conversation with God and to my surprise HE gave me an idea! It went something like this…. “Should I […]

Our actions speak volumes about who we really are from the inside out. What do your actions say about you? Unfortunately, my behavior reveals that I am struggling with an identity crisis. Sigh. There is nothing worse than wanting to make the right choices, but find that you make the wrong ones on a regular […]

This Saturday marks the 24th Valentine’s Day with the love of my life! I guess time flies when you are having fun! WOW!!! The fun hasn’t been without a few hiccups, though.

Today is the birthday of one of my childhood besties. I haven’t talked to her in years, but once in a while I think about our friendship and what value it brought to my life. I can still remember the many sleepovers, scary movies, dance routines, snow tunnels, and bike riding, walking to school, becoming […]

Some days just don’t turn out like you think they should. Today is one of those days. I have a very sick boy who has the flu and is having an asthma attack every time I turn around. Pretty scary stuff. The worst part is that this kiddo is just like his momma when she […]

In every game there is a winner and a loser. (Yes, there can be ties, but I’m a firm believer that a tie is still a loss because no one actually WON.) And man, it just really stinks to lose!! A perfect example of a disappointing loss is the Seattle Seahawks losing to the New […]
