Making Course Corrections
Learning to fly was an amazing experience and flying solo was the part that sure got my blood pumping. When flying alone, there is no one else to depend upon except yourself. It was empowering, but it was also one of the most terrifying things I ever did. I made that first solo flight just…
The Butterflies are Dancing — Are You?
A couple of weeks ago, a group of us did the Walk for Life and when we were gathering our belongings to get to registration and the start line, someone said, “Donna, look at the butterfly on your car!” I quickly took this photo because I knew there would be an upcoming post from this…
BFF! What Can I Do to Bring You Joy, Today?
I’m sure God loves when we come to Him in prayer, but usually, when we check in with Him, it is only to give Him our long prayer request and wish list. Can you imagine how He must feel when the only time we go to Him, it is only to present Him with our…
Let’s Meet Him at the Well
Every morning, I’m up and at ‘em by 5:30 am to look over the text of my blog one more time before I hit the “post” button. Not long after that, I send my morning “I love you” text messages to my children. I’m like clock-work with my daily deliveries – on FB, my blogger…
Welcome, Fall. Welcome, Change
Sandwiched between blazing summer and chilly winter, fall is the “cooling off” season. The rain brought CHANGE to us quickly here in Frisco. When I arrived back home from a quick trip to Austin, my home was so chilly that I put the fireplace on. My kids came over and smelled the “pumpkin spice” aroma…
What If Blessings Come From Raindrops?
If we could measure our blessings by raindrops that have come to Frisco for the last week and, now, it shows rain every day through Sunday, then we would be overwhelmed with blessings. On Monday, I returned home from Austin in unceasing, torrential rain most all the way in which driving was extremely intense. My…
Living Life as an Exclamation Point!
In the spur of the moment, I hit the road to Austin on Sunday for just a 24-hour stay. What is that about? It’s about living with no regrets and seizing the moments to living my life as an “exclamation point”. I had the opportunity to see my 14-year old grandson pitch nearly his entire…
The Older Teach the Younger
We Can Learn From Each Other There is so much beauty in the scripture in Titus 2:3-5 which talks about older women teaching younger women. I’m so grateful for how that scripture has played out in my life. Many older women (in faith AND age) influenced me as they lived out their faith before me.…
We are the Light of the World
It is so refreshing to be in the presence of positive, optimistic and encouraging women. Many of my dear “sisters” from our 2017 Fall ACTS Retreat met on Friday for our one-year reunion. Just being around those precious women not only on Friday but throughout the year, energizes me. Their spirit of encouragement is contagious.…
Oh, To Have My Father’s Eyes and Heart
A few days ago in my post, I said “Nothing is impossible with God. What’s going on in politics and our world doesn’t define our happiness. Those thoughts pale in contrast to those of us who rise to the 30,000 feet view that our Father has when He looks at us and this world.” The…
