I have to admit I don’t remember a lot about the process of having my babies. Many of the details have been reduced to tiny snippets from days 19 and 21 years ago. I do remember it was scary, exhausting, anxiety inducing and painful, though specific details are lost partly due to onboard medication and […]

As I sit here in the airplane making the first leg of the trip home from Athens, I am contemplating how to answer the question: how was your trip? Overall, and the very short answer is, good. It has been a “good” trip. That of course means nothing except that nothing tragic or devastating happened […]

So, ya wanna hear a story? It’s a miracle story. Here goes… July 28, 2019 was a crazy busy day. Andy and I were at both church services, he because he’s the preacher and they tend to frown when he’s not there and I because it was my turn to serve on the prayer team […]

I don’t know about you but I sometimes find myself feeling super anxious with our current political climate. It seems there is so much hate and distrust and unwillingness to forgive. Pointing fingers and blaming others for whatever is happening that we don’t like seems to be the anthem for our day and frankly, it […]

I am FREEFreedom. This is a recurring theme in my life. I have been held hostage by guilt and held by my own bondage of shame for so long in my life, it can be overwhelming to think about sometimes. What a beautiful truth that I can be and indeed am, free. I am free to […]

So this is me… Well, kinda. I am just shy of 48 years old and some days I can really feel it. My lashes may be ‘enhanced’ and I haven’t seen my real hair color in at least a decade, but this is the me you see. Several years ago the Lord very strongly convicted […]

The coolest thing happened today. Have you ever read a verse and just knew what God was going to nail you with regarding the passage, making you not want to do the quiet time at all? That was precisely my attitude this morning as I started my quiet time. Sadly, I admit that I struggle […]

I am a mom. Being a mom makes you inherently busy. It’s just the nature of the job. When my boys were little I, like all moms of littles, was crazy, catching myself coming and going, busy. Now that my boys are far from little and seem to be pretty self sustaining, I find myself […]

Ah, its’ election year again.  This time of year brings so many things to the surface. Sadly, not all good things either. I get so frustrated watching the news with what seems to be obvious bias for one candidate or party and the seemingly blatant disregard for impartiality. I get discouraged over the way people […]

This morning I read Ephesians 6:1-4. I’ve read it many times before but for some reason today it hit me in a totally differently way.  “Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.  “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a […]
