First…they sent us twenty bucks.
We said thank you…
and then we went and ate Mexican.
It was good.
Then…
they sent us this…
Yes…we now have the power…look for more freaky TLC shows, twenty year old football games and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse coming your way soon…

Sometimes…I come across a portion of Scripture and think…How could I have missed that in the past? Sometimes…it may be a really deep passage that truly speaks to a certain situation that I am facing…that is always amazing to me. Sometimes…it may convict me regarding a certain action I’ve taken or a certain attitude I have [...]

Did you know that there is actually a game that you are supposed to play with dominoes? I always thought that the sole purpose of dominoes was this…
I thought the point behind them was to stand them up in neat arrangements and knock them down again. The dots? Merely decorative.
But, no, there is actually a [...]

I am just not feeling very bloggy today…
I have no desire to be funny or clever or deep…
I find myself in need of a reminder that there are, in fact, still reasons to smile…
Oh yes…there is one now. That sweet girl starts kindergarten next week. She makes my heart hurt when I look at her…I love [...]

*I will apologize, in advance, to my husband…this post is probably too long.
My former boss had a framed picture in his office similiar to the one above and, at the bottom, it said…Bloom where you’re planted. I always appreciated the sentiment of the statement, but did not realize that it is actually a biblical instruction [...]

I am having a great day today…
a little Panera for lunch…
great friends who give godly counsel and promise to pray…and then really do pray…
a reminder from the Lord that the fruit of the spirit is not anger, melancholy, confusion and doubt…and aren’t we all glad about that…
the knowledge that my sweet, adorable 5 year old girl [...]

My heart hurts when I read Psalm 22…the desperation in David’s words have been so representative of where I am these days.
Why have you left me, God? Why are you so far away? I have loved You from birth. Now is not the time for you to leave me…not with trouble so near.
I think David [...]

I am in the process of preparing to facilitate a Bible study at church this fall. As I struggle with insane amounts of doubt and insecurity, one thought keeps coming to mind…Be genuine. It has become somewhat of a mantra over recent months for me.
It all began several months ago when I was asked to [...]

In my early college days I worked at Lowe’s Home Improvement. It was a great job for a girl who wanted to meet guys to learn the difference between a circular saw and a jig saw. I was only there a short time before I told the manager to take this job and shove it [...]

I have always said that God has protected me. Not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally.
I grew up with this unexplainable love of God…this innocence that, in all honesty, should not have been there.
There has never been a time when I doubted God’s love for me or His guiding presence…until this week.
It seems like there [...]
