I woke up EARLY today – really, sane people should not be awake that early – and couldn’t really go back to sleep. In the grand scheme of life, I know it’s not that early, but it’s early for me. Anyway, Professor (the EARLY bird of the family), I found out later, had already beenContinue reading “It’s Monday Morning”

God is Good
I am not usually at a loss for words. If you know me in person, you know that. I have a thought/comment/idea/opinion about EVERYTHING!! In social situations, this skill comes in handy; I can have a conversation with just about anyone, anywhere. I fully recognize that it can also be an annoying trait of mine. Continue reading “God is Good”
Where to start…
I didn’t blog at all last week. A family member reminded me of that last night – and I did have a goal of blogging at least 3 times a week right? So, here I am sitting down, deciding where to start… I have about 3-4 blogs rolling around in my head – great ideas thatContinue reading “Where to start…”
Indispensable
I’m wondering if I’ve made myself indispensable. I know. It sounds weird. It’s just the best word I can think of when I try to describe what I mean. Let me explain… You see, as a wife, mom – heck, even as an employee when I was working – I always want to seem “irreplaceable.” Continue reading “Indispensable”

Praying for Others
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
Tonight, in Celebrate Recovery, we learned about Victory. We looked at steps 6 and 7. 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”
