Has God ever dealt with you by reminding you of things you said in the past? Over 2 years ago I went through a season where God was showing me things were going to change and there was a new stirring in my heart. I wrote a little about it here and here Out of that time, I decided (not...
If you give a mom some coffee she will mourn how little time she has to enjoy it Once mourning how little time she has she will decide it’s time to make school lunches She’ll pull out the lunch boxes and realize that they are still full of old food from yesterday She will clear out the lunch...
I think we all like to joke about how God has a sense of humor, but I wasn’t doing a whole lot of laughing in 2017. I was reminded the other day (thank you, TimeHop) about some of the things I had written in 2016. I said I’d go wherever- whatever it looked like- It is well with me soul....
For Science class, Bella and I planted some beans so we could watch them grow. The experiment called for a glass jar, dirt, a paper towel, and a couple beans. The paper towel lined the glass jar and the beans were placed in the space between the paper towel and the glass. The purpose of this experiment was so...
Currently, I’ve been studying 2 Timothy. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, it’s a book in the Bible that was a letter written by Paul, nearing the end of his life, to Timothy. This morning I happened to be breaking down verse 12 in the first chapter of 2 Timothy. Trek with me for a second because I’m...
I’ve always found that spending some time away from my day to day world allows me to think through some stuff. It gives me time to read. It gives me time to study. Time to evaluate. And, time to listen. Last summer I felt I needed to unclutter my crazy schedule and now I think it’s time to take...
It’s funny how things just match up sometimes. During this particular Christmas season I seem to be more attune to pain. It seems like it’s all around lately. I don’t like it. I don’t think it’s fair. I want it to go away. I’m a fixer. When friends come to me with their problems, I say things like “I’ll pray...
I absolutely LOVE the holiday season. Glitter ooses from my pores and I could poop confetti (just keeping it real). From October through the beginning of January I’m overjoyed. I switch out our decorations monthly during this time of year and my house, currently, has 10 Christmas trees and every possible surface is covered in something christmasy. And, even...
Long time no see. At least it feels that way. I’ve had my head buried in studies on a particular subject matter. You see, I’m an overthinker. And, I’m sure I’ve made Chris more than crazy on quite a few instances. When he gets tired, I bug my friends and make them crazy. Jesus bless them all who have to...
Ever feel like God loves that lady over there more than you? Have you looked at someone else and felt like God loves her more than you because she dresses nicely, has a great personality, everyone seems to love her, and she looks like she has it all together? Meanwhile, you’re sitting over in the corner just wishing you...
