Being Willing to Go the Extra Mile
One of the nose pads on my glasses fell off and went missing on Wednesday. I wore those glasses all day long while being uncomfortably poked by the empty wire with no pad on it. Since I’m in Austin, I had to find a vision center asap. So, Thursday morning I found the closest nearby…
Our Story for God’s Glory
In a room filled with women from various backgrounds, cultures and walks of life, we heard several of those women share their mouth-dropping “stories” with us. I was riddled with awe to hear their stories. These women are some of the godliest women I know and to hear where God brought them from to where…
Subject to CHANGE Daily
I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m also a “single” so I can CHANGE TV channels whenever I…
Even Mistakes Can Become Blessings
My word for today is MISTAKE: error, slip-up, blunder, miscalculation, misunderstanding, oversight, misinterpretation, gaffe, faux pas. Goodness gracious, I didn’t realize that a mistake had so many synonyms. Now I can see how easy it is to feel so guilty from making a simple MISTAKE. My cousin (who lives just a few blocks from me)…
Safe in the Eye of the Storm
Yesterday, I posted about BEING the eye of the storm and today I’m taking it a notch up. Oftentimes, no matter the peace and calm we represent or the peace and calm we are in, still unexpected stuff happens which really reveals whether we’re just talking the talk, or actually walking the walk! Eleanor Roosevelt…
This Frisco/Dallas Traffic is MY Traffic — Mine Versus Mind
Have you ever seen a baby that’s just beginning to talk, and one of the first words he speaks, especially if he has an older sibling, is “Mine”! The sibling or little friend may be trying to play with one of his toys, when the baby grabs it back and says “Mine!” Undoubtedly, the parent’s…
What Do You Do When Bad News Breaks Your Heart?
When Your Heart is Breaking — Then What? I sincerely ask God to give me the words I should provide in my daily posts, and today, I was compelled to share these words. Just maybe, your heart is breaking because of a recent tragedy in your life and you don’t know if you’ll survive the…
The Fishing Trip’s Grand Finale
If there’s a scripture I rely on, live by, practice, use in my blog posts, and appreciate, it’s Romans 8:28 “ALL THINGS work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes.” It seems to be that scripture…..at the end of the day or at the end of the…
Life Moves Pretty Fast
In the words of the great philosopher, Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you’ll miss it!” That is so true, and unless you’re my age, or more, you may not give those words a second thought now…..but give it a few years, and beieve…
Be AnxIous for Nothing (No-Thing)!
Notice the letter in the middle of the word “anxious” — it’s an I. When I am handling MY affairs, when I am the one in charge, when I rely on myself for the outcome of MY decisions and plans, then I can easily get ANXIOUS about every-thing! Yesterday, I practiced those words “Be anxious…
