No Happiness
Posted on June 1, 2018 Leave a Comment
The alarm sounded at 4 am. I woke up to this feeling of being completely lost. It wasn’t because of a strange dream or prior conversation. I just felt unaware of what I was really doing with my life and emotional well being. I don’t know exactly when I lost my happiness, but it was […]

All things new… To really get into the deep conversation of it all, we are so busy. You know exactly what I mean. You are busy too. You have families, friends, ministry, jobs, and the list continues. I wish I could tell you that I my every day is completely focused on just Titus II […]
The Greatest of These – A Mother’s Love
Posted on May 13, 2018 Leave a Comment
To be honest, if you knew my mom, you probably wouldn’t describe her as one of those overly cheerful, bubbly, doting moms that shower her kids with constant words of love. You would never accuse her of leaving loving notes on the bathroom mirror, or in my lunch box. You know the ones, the folded […]
Standing in the Way

I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I laid awake for 2 hours in prayer, my mind wandering, unable to focus my full attention on Christ, distracted from the recent blow to my heart. I was unable to focus on His promises and was crippled with fear of what 2018 will bring. […]

Seriously! The milk is left out of the refrigerator. An empty jug is left in fridge. Dishes are on counter next to sink. Laundry is thrown next to basket. Beds are unmade with clothes under them. Toilet paper roll is empty on the holder. Dishes are in the living room. Trash is flowing out of […]
One Thing That Can Save Your Marriage

Seventeen. That’s how many years I have been married to David. Four. That’s how many children we have had in those seventeen years together. Three. That’s how many deployments we endured together. To say that our marriage has been through ups and downs doesn’t quite hit all those turning point moments. Some of them have […]

When Daniel was twenty, he gave his heart away to a young woman named Audrey. His first glimpse of her was during the bus ride home after returning from service in the Korean War. She was sitting near the front of the bus, and he couldn’t stop looking at her. At first he thought she […]

It was the summer of 2003. Pulling into the old wooden shed after work one evening, I had a thought. Often I shove my thoughts aside, but in this case I knew it wasn’t me. I felt His whisper upon my heart to look up. Look up? Well that is odd. I parked my car […]
How to Be a Mom

I was scrolling through Pinterest looking at ideas for a project when I saw a title that stopped my finger from scrolling further down. It said How to be a Good Mom. I thought, “huh, that’s interesting. I had no idea there was a special formula for this. Wish someone would have told me sixteen […]
Marriage and ALL the Goes with It
Posted on September 13, 2017 3 Comments
We had an argument recently. Not even really an argument. I went to talk about an idea that has been soaking deeper and deeper within to my husband. I just wanted to talk and share what God was leading me to dream and think of. I just wanted him to listen and give me a […]
