I've shared pictures of my personal devotional journal for some time now, but I'm sure over the past few months, some have noticed a decided absence in posts. There's a reason. They became incredibly personal. Part of it is pride, I'm sure, but a lot of it is just that not everything should be Continue Reading

Little Blessings
Sitting in the waiting room at Urgent Care. Andra, #7 daughter, jumped to get a ball in the volleyball tournament and the opposing team had feet under the net...tripped. Bam. Down she went. Coach suspects a broken ankle. We'll see. Meanwhile, I was going to upload this last night and didn't Continue Reading
When Scripture Fits Your Life
Funny how you can start reading Scripture and see those same themes in things you've been writing. The whole proving and feeling stupid thing fits so well with Tony in Highlands. Wow. Continue Reading
Exploring Praise & Appreciation

Crazy how the Lord uses the most unlikely places. Continue Reading
Lessons from the Hotel Room
Did a refresher on Philemon while I was holed up in a hotel in town (protecting my asthmatic lungs from the smoke in the air). I love how you can see things in new light after reading it for the hundredth time or more! Continue Reading
Best Laid Plans (of Me and the Muse?)
*strains of, "when will she ever learn... when will she eeeeeeever learn" waft through the room as she pens this entry* Continue Reading
Hush!
It's always going to be about me controlling my tongue. Learning to be quiet. I blame my surgeon. When I was 18 months old, I had surgery to correct my cleft palate. That surgery left me with an INCREDIBLY nasal voice--almost incomprehensible. My sister even beat up a girl who dared to mock Continue Reading
