Grace. Something I am learning to give to myself because Christ gave it to me. I’m a perfectionist. Did you know that? Now if you walk in the door of my home right now you will see dirty dishes and toys scattered and two bathrooms that need to be cleaned. So I’m not a total [...] Read more »
More on Giving Grace
In response to my post yesterday about all of us having hard things, a friend shared this video with me. And I simply have to share it with you. So poignant. So true. It made me cry. We all go through hard things. Grace, grace, grace… Enjoy… God’s Glasses from keephopealive on GodTube. Read more »
We All Have Hard Things
You know…When I walked through the miscarriage back in January… There were days initially when I wanted the entire world to stop and grieve with me. That thing you hear about or read in books – about how people wonder how the birds can keep singing and life can keep going and the earth can [...] Read more »
Barbs
Barbs hurled that had no merit. Painful words flung. Insults. Rebuke {unfounded}. Bitterness spewed. Words that felt like slaps. Untruths zipped from the bow of the mouth like poisonous arrows, designed to pierce the heart. To be assaulted verbally “for my own good,” “because no one has told me,” “to make a woman out of [...] Read more »
Holy Week Gratitude: My Mom
While we can never truly, in the fullest measure “walk in someone else’s shoes” because we are all distinct and unique individuals, I do think we can get a taste of the life others have walked as we walk in similar paths. When I was young, I dreamed of being a wife and mom. That’s [...] Read more »
Holy Week Gratitude: A High Calling
I was praying about what to post here in this space today. I have many, many things to be grateful for, but I don’t want to be flippant. Because I could easily write from my head and not my heart. I truly want to use this space and my words to honor the Lord – [...] Read more »
Holy Week Gratitude: The Now
The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous. I know many of you are still experiencing winter, but we Floridians are actually getting an unheard of spring instead of our perpetual summer. Each glorious day that passes, I have contemplated taking my kids to the beach. And each day, I have found a reason not to [...] Read more »
Holy Week Gratitude: A New Day
If you haven’t noticed from my multiple mentions of it, I’ve have been absolutely soaking up my Pastor’s recent sermons, especially his sermons on Providence. Trust is knowing that God is all-sovereign, all-wise, and all-good {or entirely loving}. These past couple of weeks, Pastor has been developing that idea for us that we should be [...] Read more »
Ferris Wheel Perspective
I was chatting with my kids the other day, and {who knows what triggered the thought} Mr B brought up the fact that at the fair last year he and I had ridden the Ferris Wheel together. I commended him for his bravery for going up so high with me! He was fantastic during the [...] Read more »
The Baby’s Story {Part I}
I’m at the point now with our miscarriage that is is just part of me. If that makes sense. It’s not this glaring thing that is staring me in the face that I don’t understand. It is just something that has become part of who I am. It has worked its way into my heart [...] Read more »
