At the end of the year I always like to take some time to reflect on the last 12 months of my life. I journal on a pretty consistent basis so skimming through my entries helps me remember what actually went on in my life for the year. Last Christmas my sisters, mom and I […]
Do you every worry, “What do they think of me?” Going over past encounters in your mind- what was said, what should’ve been said, what you regret saying. Studying those interactions and coming up with your own conclusions of their thoughts and feelings about you. Or maybe there has not even been an encounter. Maybe […]
Hello and happy Friday!!!!! I’m excited for the cooler weekend ahead! Might even start decorating our fall porch- to see last year’s fall porch- go here. Last fall was when we adopted Fluffy, our cat. Since then we’ve added Marley, our new cocker spaniel- you can go here to see all about him. Today I […]
Maybe I’m a little crazy but we decided (well I decided and talked Matt into it which wasn’t hard I might add) that we should get a new puppy! With 4 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 cat already- some of you may think I’m a little cuckoo but I have total peace about adding Marley […]
This morning on my walk/run (first time in a LONG time), about 20 minutes into it- my left heel started burning. Unknown to me it had been rubbing against my shoe and now was red, sore and angry. I tried pulling up my sock to cover the spot for an immediate fix but with every […]
Hello! As we are nearing the end of the school year, my calendar continues to get fuller and fuller. May is always a crazy time of year for us- lots of things to do, people to celebrate and time to close the chapter on one school year and prepare for the next! Typically in May […]
Last night I had a dream- a dream that was so vivid, so real. I was driving down a paved road that leads to my childhood home- dark surrounding- my headlights creating sight in the black night. When all of a sudden, hundreds of people filled the road all walking towards me. At first I […]
Your sunrises are there every morning, sunsets every night. The world spins, splits, cries & laughs- & You see it all. As hate & death spews out, Your word stands true. Life & love is in Your words. You are ever near, even when it doesn’t feel so. You care & understand, even when it […]
Trust God. Trust yourself. For years and years I’ve written and spoke the words, “Help me to trust You.” I’ve analyzed, pondered, and researched my life. Always questioning if I’m truly doing what God wants me to do. What areas do I need to improve in? Rules and regulations creeping their way into my heart. […]
I am a puzzle person. Give me a puzzle, a beverage, maybe a snack and I will be good for literally hours. It’s hard for me to walk away from an unfished puzzle, anyone else?! Over Christmas my mom and me spent hours upon hours putting together a 1000 piece puzzle over the course of […]
