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”
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”
Shake it Like a Polaroid
Do y’all remember Polaroid cameras and pictures? When you used a Polaroid camera/film, the picture would come out blank and you – well at least I – would shake it to develop the picture. Often times though, I would shake too vigorously and the picture would get screwed up. The colors would run, or partContinue reading “Shake it Like a Polaroid”
Empty Wallets and the Empty Tomb
I have some “friends” right now that are in dire straights. I say “friends” because I don’t know them in real life. I only know them online. I’ve never seen their faces, I know them by screen name (usually I can connect a real name) and I don’t even really know where they live. Yet,Continue reading “Empty Wallets and the Empty Tomb”
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…”
Family Night
Lately, we’ve been trying to enjoy family nights when we can. Doing something TOGETHER, as a family, when we all can be doing the same thing. So many nights it seems that we are fractured – little kids playing, someone on the computer, another on the phone, another watching tv, someone else doing chores… we’reContinue reading “Family Night”
God Sightings
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”
