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! I read A LOT. I love to read fiction, non-fiction, self-help, Christian, history, articles, blogs, romance, murder mysteries, thrillers, Scripture and basically anything I can get my hands on!!! Now, if I can just remember all that I read! HAHA!!! My book closet is larger than most people’s clothes’ closet and my bedside table is […]

Being married to an engineer has taught me that questioning things is not necessarily a bad thing. (I’m sure he would say it’s taken long enough!!) I don’t typically feel the need to have answers to everything I come into contact with, but I have long since figured out that others do have this prerequisite […]

It’s been hard getting back into the swing of things after last week’s spring break and time change. I think I would have been just fine had we not ‘sprung forward’ and lost an hour, but I am extremely grateful that it happened on a week we could sleep in!! The week flew by for […]

It’s the last week before Christmas and I’m making my list and checking it twice! Sounds like a song, huh?! (Don’t mind me; I think I’m funny sometimes!) Anyway, Christmas is my favorite time of year. In the month of December I can be found trekking through stores and browsing websites online to find the […]

Late at night, do you ever ponder the vastness of the universe and wonder why you were created? In the past, I would think of the enormity of this question and my palms would get sweaty and I would start to panic – BIG TIME! These days, I hear the calm assurance of my heart […]

Eve listened to the devil, made the decision to defy God and subsequently caved into sin. Ain’t that the story of life?!?! Sigh. Maybe I should change my name to Eve. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person on the planet that struggles with sin and sometimes loses all self-control when faced with a […]

I love to read! And this is the perfect time to settle in a comfy beach chair and devour the words on a page. In fact, if I’m not careful a good book can keep me from cleaning, cooking and all of those other household duties I’m supposed to be doing!!! (It doesn’t take much!) […]
