Last week, I shared a little about the fact that my family and I are in the midst of many changes and even more possible changes. It’s an interesting place to be, the transitional phase. Just this side of moving forward. Still unsure of exactly what we will and will not be doing. As a […]
Five Minute Fridays: Tender
I love today’s Five Minute Friday prompt. It could not think of a better word to describe my feelings for the week. Lucky for you I had a five minute time limit to write about all the ways I feel tender this week, for I’ve a feeling I could have kept going for quite a […]
Sometimes It’s Just Not Okay to Wait
I’m in the middle of a transitional period in my life. I’ve been waiting on God for quite a while in several areas, and now that it is becoming evident that He is moving me, I’m finding that it’s not always easy. While I am incredibly grateful for the work God is doing in my […]
Meditation Mondays: Accountability
I opened my eyes from a quick prayer asking God to reveal something powerful to me from His Word that morning. Then I flipped to the Proverb of the day, chapter 18, and stopped after the first two verses. When I asked God to reveal what I needed to learn, this was not the direction […]

Why I Love Dirt
An unseasonably warm, early January day found me and my 3-foot, crazy-haired sidekick with plastic shovels and dump truck in tow heading toward the mole hills that always seem to infest our yard for our son’s pleasure. I never mind joining him when he wants to dig in the dirt; it’s been something that’s brought […]
Meditation Mondays – The Faithful One Will Do It
Nine days into the new year, the reality of challenges that come with new goals or resolutions begins to become obvious. Goals can sound incredibly glamorous on the planning side, but the execution requires hard work and dedication. (You Biggest Loser fans no doubt caught my reference to Dolvett’s mantra.) I’d like to take this […]
