I had someone ask me my thoughts on ‘following’ something… We focus on “followers”, how many we have, how many likes and shares… But it’s a scary place… Am I following the right things? I know the argument is that following someone on social isn’t the same as following them down a path… But is … Continue reading Followers

Tomorrow
Once upon a time… I once was quick to anger and slow to forgive. I’m still quick to anger. Believe me, my anger is fierce and fast. I hate it. I can be so chill, so mellow and snap before the hat drops. It scares me sometimes just how much rage I feel for no … Continue reading Tomorrow
Sheep
I sit here waiting… Waiting for anything… Waiting for nothing… Life is funny like that. Full of expectation and wonder… And right now, peace. I feel like there is a storm coming because I just feel peace in the waiting. Like the sheep trusting the Shepherd for safety, I am trusting this peace will sustain me. … Continue reading Sheep
Singing
Last week I started writing this little piece. A few hours later I was sent to the emergency department…long story short, thank God for friends and first responders. I can carry on singing about sunshine. …. What’s your background music? Every good movie/tv show has a great soundtrack. Are you raging with Skillett, feeling nostalgic … Continue reading Singing
But They That Wait
“But they that wait upon the Lord…” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) This has always been a special verse to me, mostly because my mom loved it. She waited, always, on the Lord to move before she did anything. But I read the verse a few days ago and I read it differently. “They that wait upon … Continue reading But They That Wait
Marriage
Back in my day, I felt like our goal was to find someone to build a life together. You know? It wasn’t about having everything together and then merging lives; I wanted someone who would walk beside me and together we would make our lives one. I didn’t want to move into “his” house. I … Continue reading Marriage
Friends
A good friend encourages you to be better. A great friend pushes you over the edge. My wonderful friend dared me to start writing a blog. I’m still writing and still enjoying what I learn. I don’t plan out what I’m going to say; I can’t really do things like that. Everything I post is … Continue reading Friends
If…then
It’s what makes life fly by so fast: the hurry up and wait: the ‘if-then’… If I can make it through Saturday, then… … When I found out I was expecting my fourth child, putting it mildly, I had many thoughts…timing was crazy, in the middle of losing both my parents and just everything seeming … Continue reading If…then
Demons
I’ve always struggled with depression. I don’t think that will ever change. It feels just like any addiction, no matter what, the outcome is the same. But lately I’ve been thinking. And I’ve found a new point of view. It helps that I’ve been reading my Bible day and night, through and through. It says … Continue reading Demons
Life Musings
Maybe it’s just me… I get busy doing things around the house. You know, picking up things laid down, just running around trying to tidy up a little, not full on clean. That’s a whole other story. I have this conversation going on in my head…you know where you are asking why can’t s/he just … Continue reading Life Musings
