Waiting is hard. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing we have to do in our lives. I think we spend a lot of our time waiting. We wait for people, for that job promotion, for our food to be ready, for 5 o’clock. I’m sure you can think of many more. For what or on whom… Continue reading Wait for it…

Countershading
The other day I ran across the term countershading. It is defined as a method of camouflage in which an animal’s coloration is darker on the upper side and lighter on the underside of the body. I couldn’t help but think that we do this in our lives sometimes. We ‘put on our best face’ so that people will… Continue reading Countershading
Feet
Those of you closest to me know I do not like feet. I don’t like even my own feet! I’m not sure why. Maybe I’ve seen so many nasty ones in the past. But feet are a necessity, aren’t they? We need them to walk and get us places. We cannot wait for our babies… Continue reading Feet
Thankful
I once saw a quote that said, “What if you woke tomorrow with only the things you thanked God for today?” Think about that for a minute. Read it again. That is one powerful quote! We take so much for granted. Do we ever remember to thank God for the little, but big, things? Oxygen,… Continue reading Thankful
Jamaica
For 6 years I was blessed to be able to go on our church youth mission trip to Morant Bay, Jamaica with my girls. While there, I developed a relationship with one of the old men there, Brother Percival Grant whose picture is below. I’m not sure how it happened that he and I connected… Continue reading Jamaica
Happy
What makes you happy? Do you consider happiness an emotion or state of mind? Do you think happiness is a daily decision? Do you think we need to wake up each day and decide to be happy just for that day? This is easier said than done, but I think if we can do this… Continue reading Happy
Messed Up
We’re all messed up! Do you believe that? I do. We are all messed up on some level. I even know a therapist who has current issues with family, so no one is exempt! There are different reasons for this. Some of us grew up in a household where the family was not what God… Continue reading Messed Up
How Long?
When my girls were younger and I was blessed to be able to help out in our church youth group once in a while, the kids would sing a song from Psalm 13 called “How Long, O Lord” which I love. Here I’ve included the version by Nate Hale which I think is one of… Continue reading How Long?
Discipline
I am an emotional eater. I know it, and those closest to me know it. Last year around this time, I lost some weight, but last summer was a hard one in many ways. Needless to say, I have gained most of it back. But in this time of goal setting (I don’t like to… Continue reading Discipline
Expectations
Do you have expectations? Of things, of people? Expectation is defined as a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future and a belief that someone will or should achieve something. There are things with which we have expectations. I expect the water to turn on in the shower. I… Continue reading Expectations
