I believe most people would rather classify these kinds of things as 'coincidences'. They always do, but I don't believe in coincidences. I believe in Him. A few months ago I entered into a contest hosted by Proverbs 31 Ministries. I never win anything, but it was almost like I was testing God. To enter …
Focus
I have been trying to come up with the words for weeks, months, actually, now that I think about it, it's been over a year. For over a year I have searched for these words. I had tried to explain exactly how I felt, but I couldn't. As a writer, a person who is in …
30 Day Challenge
Yesterday, I made the decision to deny myself. I'm not entirely sure what that looks like, so I'm going to take it the most literal way that I can and just tell myself no. Often. Like probably most of the time, right? Do you remember the 'WWJD' craze. The bracelets, the T-shirts, the notebooks. Everything …
So We Start There
It's been 15 minutes and all I can do is pace around the house, smiling, and looking up because He is just so amazing. Wasn't it just the other day where I was talking about needing to know the 'whys and the hows'?! Wasn't I just saying how it helped me? How my life was …
Lesson Learned
I'm still not sure that I know what I'm doing most days. Chances are I probably don't, but what I do know is that I'm just going to keep taking it one day at a time. One day at a time. Because that's really all I can handle. This is hard, y'all. The tantrums. The …
But I Can Believe
I have been struggling lately. Things just haven't been making sense. And when things don't make sense I find myself confused and disoriented. See, I like to understand how things work. I need to know the 5 W's and the 'How' is pretty important too. Perhaps it is my attempt at control that makes me …
And So We Celebrated!
So yesterday was the day. I had been dreading it for weeks. Actually, make that months. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel. What I was going to think. I had had so many emotions the year before that honestly, I just wanted none. But that didn't happen. I woke up with the …
Hard Truth
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep doing. Romans 7:18-19 …
’19 Kids and Counting’
Last week is still kind of a whirl wind for me. I'm not even sure what exactly happened. All I know is that it was VBS and I got to help shepherd 19 three year olds. Yep, 19. I have never been so exhausted before. It may have been one of the hardest things I …
You Find Everything
I started reading a new book yesterday. I'm only on the first few pages, but something already stood out to me. The author suggests that everything is in our attitude. He suggests that we have the ability to decide our attitude and, well, if you have a positive attitude life is good. At first, I …
