Recently, an acquaintance spoke of praying for others. The gist of the comment was that she no longer believe God hears her when she prays for herself, but that He hears when she prays for others. My response was this: And this is precisely why we all pray for others. Sometimes when we are removedContinue reading “Praying for Others”

Storytime
I love storytime. I’m a reader – always have been – and I especially love to hear a story told or read out loud. That’s one of the reasons that I love storytime at libraries. The children’s librarians are usually sooo good at reading the stories in an engaging way – capturing your attention withContinue reading “Storytime”
Waiting to move
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything that I felt was worth saying really. My family is slowly preparing to move. Our house is filled with boxes packed with things that aren’t necessities. Christmas dishes, cd’s, books, knick-knacks, stuff. Eventually we need to have a yard sale with theContinue reading “Waiting to move”
The Yellow House
Last summer, Racer and I fell in love with a yellow house. We were looking for a bigger house because Blue would be joining our family. We found something we thought was perfect. It had 3 large upstairs bedrooms for kids and a great master bedroom on the mail level for us. 2 car garage,Continue reading “The Yellow House”
Victory in Jesus

Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7) “Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” I’veContinue reading “Victory in Jesus”
Hearing and Receiving
I’ve been praying a lot lately. I feel like it’s been a one-way conversation with God. I’ve been talking. I’ve been trying to listen, but I’ve not been able to hear anything. On Sunday, the thought came into my brain. I’ve been hearing, I’ve just not been receiving. It’s sort of like this with compliments. Continue reading “Hearing and Receiving”
Why I blog…
I was talking with someone a few weeks ago about this blog. At one point in the conversation he asked me “Why do you write the blog?” It’s a good question and one I haven’t really put much thought into. I suppose before I started this endeavor, I should’ve put more thought into it. It’sContinue reading “Why I blog…”

Through an online community, there is an opportunity for many of us to join together in this committment and discuss our progress. I am inviting you to join an onlineContinue reading “God Sightings”
Heart’s Cry
My heart has been crying out a lot over the past year. It’s crying out for so many things – people, situations, my family, our life. Sometimes I have the words, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I laugh to share my heart with Jesus. Sometimes I cry to share my heart with Jesus. Sometimes I’m soContinue reading “Heart’s Cry”
So am I crazy?
Today I had an experience that I’ve never had before. I had a psychological exam. That’s right, an interview and 2 written tests to create a psychological profile. It’ll be a few weeks before I know if I’m crazy or not… So why did I have this exam? It’s just one step on the road toContinue reading “So am I crazy?”
