Sometimes in life I find that I have just operated on making things work and doing what I need to do. But this week I was reminded of how desperately I need to create in order for my soul to not feel drudgery in the day to day. I want to pull out paints, pick … Continue reading A Need to Create
Encouragement
In the rearview mirror…
Life has its moments where you want to hold on to anything not moving and hope that everything else around you will stop spinning. Within the span of nine days our house sold, my husband interviewed, accepted a job, and we loaded a moving truck. In that order. A few days after the moving truck … Continue reading In the rearview mirror…
Wait for it… WAIT FOR IT…….. W A I T…….
Whether it is a holding pattern in flight, a phone call on-hold with customer service, a checkout with a long line, or a hot car in a traffic jam… waiting is not on most people’s top ten list of things to do. But sometimes waiting is the best place to be. That is the place … Continue reading Wait for it… WAIT FOR IT…….. W A I T…….

Ps 94:18-19 “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your love, O Lord, supported me.

I have one work errand to run and then it is off to make a birthday cake for Jesus... something my little guy gives a great big excited … Continue reading Oh my Goodness….
Thanksgiving… It is here!!!
I am so excited that Thanksgiving is on Thursday! I can hardly wait to see everyone and celebrate. I found coloring place-mats at Target and thankfully bought the exact number of people coming so far... unless there is someone else who joins in! Want a place to go where the cooking will be done for … Continue reading Thanksgiving… It is here!!!
But God
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him [God], and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 These popular verses ring so true, but are so difficult to walk in. I'm not sure where your Monday morning finds you, but I … Continue reading But God
