Wishing time away
This was written by my beautiful (inside & out) 15 year old daughter who has been through way more than any child should have to go through. She has a gift. It spoke to me and where I’m at in this season of life. It was too good not to share. Hopefully it encourages someone […]

No resolution; just hope
You will see lots of posts about resolutions. You will see lots of posts that say it’s just another day. Either way you look at it, it is good to stop and reflect. It’s good to take time to think about your life, where you’ve been, the direction you want to go. I don’t do […]

To forgive or not to forgive?
Why is it so hard to forgive? This troubles me as, until this last year, I have always forgiven easily. Or did I? I question that because things that I thought I had forgiven have crept back up; this time more difficult to get past. I’m far from perfect and I make mistakes every day. […]

SANGRY
Yep, that’s right, I’m sangry. As a widow, there are lots of days that can’t be adequately described. So what do we do?? We just make up words! So yeah, I’m in sangry mode. I’m sad. I’m angry. Sangry started on Sunday awhile back as I was thinking back to what Sundays used to look […]

But, I realize something… If I only write about the things that would “sit well” with others, I’m not writing with […]

Hurt n’ Church
I read a FB post about how important it is for Christians to be careful how they treat non believers; especially when it comes to correcting wrongdoing. I have to say that it is also as important to be mindful of how we treat other Christians. Just as much damage can be done there! I […]

Kids n’ Grief
As incredibly difficult as it has been to deal with pain and loss as an adult, I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like for children. Sure, I see the ways they struggle and I’ve been there to witness how the void left by the loss of their Father effects them. But, I […]

Purpose N’ Pain
There was a time in my life as a young woman when I felt as though I had gone through more in my life than some ever would in the entirety of theirs. What gave me hope in that was the fact that I somehow, deep down in my heart, believed that God would place […]
