Let me just warn you this post might get a little mushy... The past two weeks I have noticed a quality in my husband that I admire so much. He has got to be the best person IN. THE. WORLD. to rejoice with. Seriously, a few days ago he woke me up to share some [...]
Define Me
Sorry for my lack of posting this last week. I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the Holiday weekend! I would like to take a moment and say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our soldiers. We enjoy freedom as a result of your sacrifice. I am forever thankful to you and your [...]
New Adventures
Well everyone... after many posts on dreams of the heart I am finally ready to reveal some of mine. Okay...one of mine. I was given the privilege of taking photos of one of my very best friends little girl. She just turned 5 this week and she is such a beauty. Inside and Out. I [...]
Champion for the People
I heard a phrase today and it has stuck with me all afternoon. It was used to describe one of the church staff members . The phrase was "Champion for the People." My heart was instantly moved at this thought. One of my favorite scripture verses about Jesus is where He is referred to as [...]
Which Jesus do you Picture?
We went to a friends college graduation party yesterday and as always, I love seeing the artwork in people's homes. I feel like it represents them or shows a piece of their soul. So, in my usual fashion...I was snooping around. As my eyes soaked in their gorgeous home, I noticed a hand drawn picture framed in their entry [...]
A Transparent Life (part 3)
What is correction, how should Christians handle it and why is it needed? I've pondered all of these questions through the years. I've flourished because of a gentle and timely correction and as you may have read in my last post...I've withered as the result of harsh words spoken in an untimely manner. So, how [...]
A Transparent Life (part 2)
It was 2007 and I had just recuperated from a painful miscarriage. After almost five years of marriage, I was ready to become a mother. My arms were empty and my heart was aching. I spent months planning and preparing my body to be able to carry a child to full term. My eye was [...]
A Transparent Life (part 1)
I grew up telling on myself. If I did something wrong and I felt guilty...I couldn't keep it a secret for very long. But, if I did something that someone else thought was incorrect and I didn't agree...well then, too bad for everyone involved. I wasn't going to budge, much less offer up an apology. Not until [...]
Better Late than Never
We raced to the terminal, dragging our luggage behind us as we ran. I was out of breath by the time we reached the irritated attendant at the flight desk. She displayed her aggravation with great pleasure by rolling her eyes and sighing loudly. But, at that moment, I really didn't care that I had become [...]
What are You Believing for?
I gently caressed Rowan's little face while he slept in my arms. He was so young, yet he had already brought such incredible joy to our lives. I caught a glimpse of Barry sleeping as he reclined his head back against the wall. We were so tired. We knew to expect weariness, but I don't think either of us [...]
