Following His Path To Something Beautiful
“A perfect gift is not easy.” my husband, Mike, told me this over and over again the past 2 days. And how true the words are. I began to prepare a gift for a dear friend last Sunday. I thought it would have been finished by Tuesday. But I was wrong. The hours that this [...]
A memory came up in Facebook the other day. It was the day that I went back to work after Olivia was born. I was holding her, and torn about leaving her. She was holding my finger in the photo, something she had often done since. Things haven’t changed much. I still get a little [...]
How many of you do words for the year? I know many of you don't. It isn't right or wrong to do one or not, but somehow they end up being fitting for me. You can read about my word of the year from last year here. But my word of the year this year [...]
I kind of laugh at this story. Because I really didn't expect this to happen, or plan for this to happen. A few years ago, I wrote a blog titled "How To Break Down Your Barbie Dream House". I played with Barbie's growing up, and in college, me and two friends had Barbie nicknames. I [...]
Psalm 23. One of the most familiar psalms I have known my whole life. I still recall the melody of this psalm that we sang in Sunday School. It is a nice psalm, but in looking at it more, I am realizing more of its meaning. Specifically, in regards to a phase in Psalm 23:3, [...]
When I think of the Kings daughter, I think of a princess. And of course I think of all the Disney movies, like The Little Mermaid. King Triton loved his daughter. He seemed gentle and kind, but went above and beyond to help her in her time of trouble, even being willing to sacrifice Himself. [...]
"What is worship?" That is the question that Charlie asks often if K-love is on in the car. I had to think about it for a minute the first time he asked, because how do you describe what worship is, to a 7-year-old? At face value, and according to Webster dictionary, worship is defined as [...]
My letter to The Guy Who Stole My Car Remember that one time I got my car stolen? Like 2 months ago? Would you believe me if I told you that I still don't have my car back? It was stuck at the dealership for like 8 weeks waiting to see if the warranty would [...]
What should you fear? I could easily make a list of 100 things I "should" fear off the top of my head. And if you haven't been living under a rock, and have been on social media a lot (or at all), you can too. Fear. It is a prominent emotion right now. Scripture talks [...]
My son teaches me a lot about my walk with Christ. And this year he has taught me about 20/20 vision. Is it just my him, or when you ask your child to get something (like the shoes that are right in front of them) they say "I couldn't see them!" Sometimes I think his [...]
