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! “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” The above quote from Vivian Greene seemed completely appropriate today considering how many Texans don’t have power, water or gas during this 2021 Ice/Snow Apocalypse! Of course, our dancing in Texas will have to be performed in winter […]

Hopefully, we’ve had good experiences with the patriarchs of our families. However, I know too well that this is not the case for many. It’s such a disappointment that […]

I mean who doesn’t want to post pictures of their families, cool vacation places, awesome pet videos and funny memes?!?!?!? A favorite of mine are the videos of people falling down…my guilty pleasure!!!! However, besides […]

So many times we try to make life more complicated than it is. Why is that? Some of my examples include the fact that I’ve been saying for years that I want my kids to grow up with a servant’s heart, but I’ve done nothing to make this happen. I’ve prayed for wisdom, but refused […]

As a writer I am always looking for an editor. Sometimes it’s a friend, a sister or my husband. When I’m really in a pinch…it ends up being me. Thank God for spell check! Being my own editor is a bad thing. It makes no difference how grammatically affluent I am or how many words […]

Last week I posted a quote by Billy Cox – a motivational speaker – on Facebook that read, “The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and your effort.” As I’ve contemplated this piece of advice, it has occurred to me that most of us are a bunch of […]

When did it become necessary for us to agree with each other in order for us to love each other? Is there any reason why we can’t be patient, kind, humble, caring, generous, thoughtful, compassionate and considerate with those who don’t have our same belief systems without the anger, frustration and hatefulness that we constantly […]
