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! Social media, and most specifically Facebook (because that’s the one I use), can be the greatest thing since sliced bread. 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 […]

Here I am again. Jeez! You’d think I was the most inconsistent person in the world by the way I’ve written GEM in the last year…and, honestly, you’d be right!! I don’t have any excuse, but I am genuinely sorry. And please know I’ve missed it, too. I’ve been contemplating much over my lack of […]

My sisters and I have a saying, “We will praise Him: win or lose.” Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it?!?! This short sentence reminds us daily that no matter what happens during our life…God is ALWAYS in control, He loves us and He is our saving grace! Don’t get me wrong. This is not […]

Watching the news is pretty scary these days. Evil seems to be all around us and maybe even winning several of the battles. YIKES! However, you do realize that the good guy wins in the end, right? Let me assure you…He does. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning […]

Ever since January I’ve had a list of personal, work, home and family goals staring at me from just above my computer desk. This spreadsheet looms over my head and occasionally taunts me until I look up. UGH! If I hadn’t written those 59 goals back at the first of the year like I had […]

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, […]

I only caught the tail-end of Elon Musk’s interview on Sunday night’s 60 Minutes, but it made quite the impression on me. As a matter of fact, I haven’t been able to think about much else. In case you have no idea who the heck Elon Musk is (no worries, I was clueless, too), let […]

The start of a New Year brings about much discussion of resolutions, goals, plans, objectives and getting ourselves motivated to make this year better than the last. Clearly, the year ahead is on my mind because I’ve already written two blogs in the past few weeks about making plans and moving on. Honestly, I thought […]
