The Truth About Our Identity – Questions 2 & 3
(Continued from Yesterday’s Blog and the “SHE – Girls Night Out”) 2. In a world that is filled with comparison, how have you stayed firm in your identity and avoided the traps of comparison? I can’t say that I have stayed firm or avoided the traps of comparison. When I was a child, I wanted…
Need Peace? Forgive.
Mother’s Day is passed as far as the commercialized Mother’s Day is concerned. But, honestly, it’s okay for our mothers to be honored every single day. What a role model my mama was and still is today, 18 years past going to heaven. Yesterday, for a video presentation to her students, my daughter interviewed me…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
And life’s clouds, storms and showers can bring many blessings. This blog was inspired by the opportunity to be in Tulsa for several days. Though I have many precious friends and beautiful memories here, this trip came with a specific purpose in mind. That is to be with my 99-1/2 years old mother-in-law while my…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, I spoke about the “default settings” in electronics. We also have default settings and the ideal ones are having gratitude and the Fruit of the Spirit. A couple of days ago, I walked into a room and a situation that caused me to do an about-face. I was about to react negatively, but instead…
I Will Praise You in the Storm
It’s been some time since I’ve been to a great Christian contemporary music concert, especially since attending those events was a routine for my husband and I back in the day. So, I was enthused that we were going to see “We the Kingdom” and “Casting Crowns” on Monday night. We were a group of…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
40 More Days of Raising a Hallelujah
I’ve been in an Easter story-telling mode for several days now. And it looks like I’m not finished yet. Truth is – Easter isn’t about rabbits and eggs and chocolatey treats. We should NEVER stop talking about Easter and all it represents as believers in the abundant life Christ gave us and that’s every day…
The In-the-Middle Day – Holy Saturday
You may know what the heartache and unbelief feels like when one of your closest friends or family members passed away yesterday. This day AFTER — it’s up to you to handle the responsibilities of planning the funeral, the burial, notifying relatives, and many other details of handling life without them.You are expected to hold…
Listen to the Frogs and Smell the Roses
My inspiration for today’s blog came from a young mother of four and her FB post. These were her words that captioned this first precious photo so beautifully: “When I’m really trying to get a workout in (aka, not stopping every 2 minutes), I’m reminded to slow down when my daughter wants to listen to…
I See You
This first photo memory is of my son watching his 9-year-old boy, Ryan has rarely missed a game in the eight years since then. He continues to watch his 17-year-old son and taking videos and photos when he is pitching or batting. Ryan has no shame in jumping up in front of the spectators to…
