The first thing I notice when I walk out onto the back porch this morning is the glisten of the frost as the light reflects from the “street” light. You read that right. There is a “street” light situated between my back yard and the neighbor’s yard behind my house. It makes little sense toContinue reading “This Morning”

Lord, Strengthen Us
It has been a very trying time in this house. There have been a number of issues that have to be worked out soon. However, I am tired. Oh so tired! Many of the tasks required to be done are just so very draining, and it is difficult to find the motivation to finish thisContinue reading “Lord, Strengthen Us”
To Know and Love God
There has been a lot of resources that guide Christians in various aspects of our lives. These are well-meaning resources, but without the foundation of the Holy Bible they are meaningless and misleading. The most important resources that we have – outside of God Himself speaking directly and audibly to us – are prayer andContinue reading “To Know and Love God”
Our Thanksgiving Tradition
When I first began to date my husband all those years ago, I thought about our future a lot. Like most couples, there is so much to think about, such as where to live, marriage, children, church, etc. One of the things that I approached him with was holidays. What will the future look likeContinue reading “Our Thanksgiving Tradition”
The Servant Lived in Rejection
Have you ever went through a season of your life where everywhere you turned you felt rejected and not welcome anywhere? That is exactly what Jesus experienced. It seems like everywhere He turned the Pharisees or the Sanhedrin or various other members of society sought out times to trip Him up, shun Him, or triedContinue reading “The Servant Lived in Rejection”

So, of course, this leads me down a rabbit hole in remembering all of the past events, the decisionsContinue reading “When Things Get Bad”
Lack of Control
For the last couple of days, I have been reading the beginning of Ecclesiastes. While reading, I encountered some interesting nuggets of truth. Let me start by saying, I do not have the foggiest idea about how to teach this book. Praise God that He is giving me something to learn. The Preacher here seemsContinue reading “Lack of Control”
Do All Things in Love
There are many rules and lessons that I am trying to teach my sons. Cleaning up after themselves. Getting their homework finished right. Helping each other. And the list goes on. However, the three things I tell them every day is: Help, Share, Be Kind. If they can get those things down in life, theyContinue reading “Do All Things in Love”
How did I miss this???
There are some things that I am good about when I am organizing. Making lists is something that I can easily do. However, reading plans aren’t one of them. And so, I am following a reading plan that has brought me to the book of Ezra in the Bible. Today was the last day, andContinue reading “How did I miss this???”
What Journal?
Back in 2014, I stumbled across a relatively new business that was targeted to the “planner” community. I ordered one of what they call a Life Planner. Ever since then, I kept one. Little did I know the roller coaster that I was about to ride in my life. The owner and founder of thisContinue reading “What Journal?”
