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…”

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?”
Clean up in aisle 7
So there is this nasty little 24 hour bug going around that has people throwing up. Gross I know, but so many I know have had it. We’ve had 3 kids at church get sick (at church). I’ve been sick. My oldest daughter, Blue, has been sick. It’s not fun. Mommas don’t like it when their kidsContinue reading “Clean up in aisle 7”
Prayers for Haiti
So many of us are praying for Haiti and many don’t even know what to pray. Let’s place our prayers here so that others can join in our prayers, get ideas of what to pray for or simply just know that we are doing what we say we’ll do. God, as you know, I oftenContinue reading “Prayers for Haiti”
VBS is over…until next year!
My feet hurt, my head aches, my ears are ringing and I have a smile on my face. Vacation Bible School has just finished. Two of my kids are in bed, the other is in bed reading his Bible (seriously, by no prompting from me). I feel the need to celebrate and sit quietly and justContinue reading “VBS is over…until next year!”
My prayer for Jon and Kate
I, along with a friend, have felt called to pray for Jon and Kate Gosselin. You may know them from the TLC reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8. There has been a firestorm surrounding them lately. Their marriage is in trouble. I have been there. I understand the feelings. I understand the hurt andContinue reading “My prayer for Jon and Kate”
Outdone by a Preschooler
Sometimes, I am embarrassed to be an adult. When I look around at my fellow “grown-ups” I see that many of us are just a tick off when it comes to what life is really about. We’re missing something – forgotten a crucial part of living. Let me explain… Tonight I was at a graduationContinue reading “Outdone by a Preschooler”
