For some time now I’ve been attempting to be more consistent spending time in the Word - it’s something that wasn’t consistent enough in 2009 but one that I have found to be cherished in 2010. I often need a morning like this, one where I have 20-30 minutes to myself as a wake up [...]
Recently there have been a few quotes, a few sayings, a few lessons that have stuck with me. I’ve decided I’m going to put these up in my office at work - because they are truly words I need to live by. They are words that seem to keep me centered, focused, and realize what [...]
I didn’t have a chance to sit down with my glass of champagne last night to write, only because I was sitting down with my glass of champagne and hanging out with R. I was 50/50 on if he was really going to end up hanging out with me - he typically loves New Year’s [...]
When we wrote our e-cards for Christmas this year (brilliant idea by the hubby - were it up to me and we had to send real cards, it just would not have gotten done), I wrote the first thing that came to my mind, that “trials and tribulations were many.” I have been thinking about [...]
There is something magical about a Christmas tree. I could just sit in front of one when it is dark and the lights are on for hours. It’s the perfect setting to think, to pray, to talk. Even at 6:00 in the morning when nobody else is up, I turn on the lights so I [...]
‘Tis the season to give thanks right? So I’ll follow suit. I actually need to up the attitude just a bit, I believe it could be due to the fact that my daughter is sleeping past 6:00 for the first time in who knows how long - sleep deprivation without coffee (we’re out of the [...]
God works in amazing ways, through people who probably don’t even know it (this includes you lady - thank you). I am so grateful because I didn’t realize I even needed it. I received an email yesterday from a friend from college. Someone who although I knew had never connected with too much, purely because [...]
Where to begin? Where oh where? The past five weeks of my life have been life-changing. I hope it sustains. I have learned a lot, dealt with a lot, grown a lot. What’s crazy about all of this is that with everything I’ve been processing I have had the hardest time talking about it. I [...]
There was another funeral today. I struggle with these so much. To be honest I’m still struggling with the loss of my sister’s SIL. This story was a little different, but not any less heartbreaking. He was a man who had lived an amazing life, four children, grandchildren, and a wife of 57 years. Incredibly [...]
I attended a funeral today. It was for a family that I have known for several years, through my sister’s in-laws. They lost their Mom. To Cancer. Cancer sucks. It sucks bad. It takes away people who still should be here. It takes away Moms and Dads and Brothers and Sisters and Aunts and Uncles [...]
