During my morning prayer I sat asking God for direction as I continue on my journey with Him.  I needed him to point me down the right direction because sometimes I get so lost in everything I’m trying to manage on my own, that I lose my sense of direction.  So instead of getting anywhere,…

Tonight I was sitting with my youngest son, now 15, just talking about these two bible verses I had highlighted in my bible.  I love that he was curious and interested in knowing what the verses were about.  This was not a study for his youth group at church.  This was just a random moment…

Today driving home from work I was sitting in traffic listening to Lauren Daigle singing “Trust In You”.   As I was listening and of course singing up the top of my lungs, I was thinking of my own personal circumstances.  How much do I trust in God when things get tough?  When things don’t go…

What’s your reasonable excuse?  We all make them.  We have all had them at some time or another.  What’s the reason you hide behind to keep you from pushing forward or from making that major change you have been putting off?  I am the first to admit, I have compiled a pretty hefty list of…

Spring is such a beautiful time of the year especially for gardening.  I just enjoy spending days out in the  yard planting beautiful flowers and an assortment of herbs and veggies.  I can spend hours outside just working in the dirt, getting my garden just right.  I will go out to the garden stores and…

Life is full of adventures waiting to be taken.  At times we are inspired to jet off and explore something completely different and then there are times we are just too comfortable doing the same old thing, over and over again.  We keep ourselves from taking off into unknown territory in fear of what could…

These past few days I’ve sat staring at my computer, looking at a blank page.  I’ve missed a few days of blogging.  I haven’t had a clear mind for some days now.  A few weeks ago we were informed that my father-in-law was placed on hospice and about 2 weeks ago we were told he…

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned in my life is that I can’t expect to go forward if I continue holding on to the past.  Holding on to those painful memories can wreak havoc in our lives if we allow it.  It at times can feel so hard to even fathom the idea of…

Not everyday do things go smoothly in my life.  We have our ups and downs, those difficult days that just nearly break us.  Sometimes life just piles up on us.  It’s like everything imaginable that can go wrong, does.  In life we all go through those difficult times.  It could be a marriage that’s falling…
