Do you ever forget about the simple things you used to do to entertain yourself as a child? I’m convinced that this world has gotten far too complex. In the quest to always get better, sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty that comes with tried and true activities that have brought joy […]
Meditation Mondays – Truth
Source What is truth? It’s such a confounding a question in 2012. Truth. A solitary word that brings about heated debates, leaves people searching and confused, and is often defined with a vague answer. But what is it? Aren’t people tired of being lied to? Don’t we just want honesty? While it’s easy to […]
Five Minute Friday – Delight
I will be linking up today with The Gypsy Mama’s Five Minute Friday. I strongly encourage you to check it out for yourself, read the words of other women’s hearts on today’s topic, and maybe even write about it yourself! Today’s word is Delight. Delight yourself also in the LORD and He […]
10 Things That Have Been Keeping Me Busy Lately
You may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been keeping up on here as much lately. It’s not because of anything serious or difficult; it’s just one of those times where I’ve sensed God leading me to focus on other things. I need to clear my head of all of the “how to […]
My Humble Valentines Efforts
I had bigger plans for Valentines Day than I actually accomplished this year. This is typical of me. Not that I’m necessarily proud of this fact, but as I go through life, I’m working on accepting me for me. I don’t need an elaborate life full of beautifully intricate details. The key is still doing […]
The Sin Virus
Prepare yourself for a painfully honest view of my life this past week. It was not pretty. I toss Kleenex ® number 4,289 in the trash can, and I move my clogged head sluggishly around to survey the damage. Crumbs remain scattered on the table (and the floor and the counters, but whatever) yet they […]
Parents and the Dating Game
When I think back to how complicated and awkward life was when I first entered the dating scene, I thank God it’s over. No more lying awake at night, trying to figure out if this guy really liked me or not. No more fussing over what to wear or say the next time I saw […]
Meditation Mondays – My God Strengthens
I’m not going to attempt to utter profound truths today. I write this as I cough incessantly and try to remember how to make coherent sentences in the midst of the mucus that has taken over my head. I don’t feel strong today. I would much rather crawl back into my bed and snuggle up […]
Five Minute Friday: What is Real About You to Me?
Today is Five Minute Friday, hosted by The Gypsy Mama. It’s a chance to put aside plans and just write whatever comes out of our hearts in five minutes. If you love writing, I encourage you to do a free write of your own – computer or paper, blog or no blog – it’s just […]
In it for the Outcome
I didn’t always realize that I wanted to be a teacher. In fact, I fought it for a long time. But the more I matured, the more I saw I was built for it. I was called to it. So I quit resisting and jumped into the life of lesson planning, grading, and determining entertaining […]
