Making It Harder
Have you noticed how we humans sometimes make too much of things? We overthink; we make things harder than they need to be; we take on too much, or we just, in general, overreact to situations. You see, I can say these things because I’m exhibit A in all of those situations 🙂 . I…

Promise of a New Day
Yesterday things were a little off. If you read this little blog, you know it was the first anniversary of the day my brother-in-law went to be with Jesus. Throughout the day, things felt a little off. I know that was the processing of the day. There were many moments of silence as my husband…

Rememberance
Today is an anniversary. It was one year ago that my brother-in-law Mac walked into the arms of Jesus. It doesn’t seem like it should be a year already. It feels like just yesterday. We’re going to do a few special things today as we remember him. My husband wants to drive his Mustang, which…

Saturday Blessings
I’m headed out early this morning to help with the funeral of a sweet man. I mentioned him in this little blog several weeks ago. Because of that, I was going to simply share a prayer for everyone as you begin this Saturday. As I was reading through some prayers, I found this list of…

Seek Him in Chaos
I’m sure most of us have been through those times when the world around us just felt like… well, chaos. If you have children, just think back to those days when they were toddlers. Your house was a mess, schedules all out of whack and the only time you had five minutes to yourself was…

Listen and Believe

The Cornerstone
There are many verses in Scripture that refer to Jesus as the cornerstone. I was reading several this morning. They all, of course, emphasize how Jesus is the sure, firm and everlasting foundation. If we build our lives on and around Him, nothing will be stronger. OK, that’s all nice, but where am I going…

Restoring Faith
One of my least favorite weekend errands is the grocery store. I think I’ve shared that here before. It’s not the physical act of having to go there; that’s not a problem. I’m just never sure what type of environment I’m going to enter. Will the store clerks be in a good mood? Will the…

Pictures and Home
I spent some time yesterday talking with family, getting an update on my brother’s situation. Things are moving, slower than we hope, but they have found a place to rent while their home can be rebuilt. As I thought about ways to help them, something came to mind. I’m so thankful that they are safe,…

No More Happy Dance
I got an email late yesterday afternoon. I have to admit, I read it, didn’t take it well, and actually let it get under my skin. I stewed about it most of the evening. I guess I did more than stew about it. In the middle of the night, I woke up still thinking about…
