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…”

Dear Celebrate Recovery family,
Dear Celebrate Recovery family, Today, you celebrate your one-year anniversary of ministry in the community. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all you have, and will continue to mean to me. While I realize that I’m no longer an active part of worship and ministry with you, Celebrate Recovery willContinue reading “Dear Celebrate Recovery family,”
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”
Teach Them to Your Children
Last night and today I’ve been thinking about how we pass our faith onto our children. I was a part of a message board discussion started by a professed “non-believer.” The question posed was aimed at Atheists/Agnostics and asked how to answer God questions that arise from children. I weighed in on the discussion, notContinue reading “Teach Them to Your Children”
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”
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”
My Girlie
Girlie is now 3. Next birthday I think she’ll be 15! When I was pregnant with her, we didn’t know if she was a boy or a girl (Racer’s choice – I wanted to know). When she was born and we learned Girlie was a girl my response was “What am I going to doContinue reading “My Girlie”

As part of my committment during the season of Lent, I will begin a daily Bible reading that will lead me through the entire Bible. 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”
Not Me! Monday Ramblings
What to write, what to write… There are so many things swirling around in my head. My mom called me today – “so I’ve been reading your blog…” Yeah mom, there’s stuff in my life I haven’t told you about. There’s a lot of stuff in my life people don’t know about. I’m being challenged toContinue reading “Not Me! Monday Ramblings”
