2013 – A Banner Year!

2013 – A Banner Year!

On Sunday, December 23rd, 2012 I was sitting in church asking God what He had to say that day . . . for me and my family . . . for the church . . . or anyone around me. This is not abnormal for me. 🙂 I LOVE hearing what my Daddy has to say . . . for me . . . for others . . . for YOU!  He has some amazing thoughts and … Read entire article »

Happy 4th of July – Freedom, Independence – and FREE Coffee!

        Happy 4th of July! I hope and pray you all have a FABULOUS 4th – full of food, friends, family, fireworks and fun! {How’s that for some alliteration?!} We typically spend the afternoon at the beach, and stay till the Fireworks show (that is put on right next to us) is over.  We LOVE it!  So relaxing, casual (I don’t have to cook fancy foods! or host/entertain at my house!), peaceful and fun!  (though … Read entire article »

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! On Friday (Good Friday) I talked about how thankful I was for what Jesus did for me. But that was only HALF the story . . . Today is an even MORE joyful day!! Why? No . . . it’s not because the Easter Bunny is going to bring me chocolate eggs and candy. No . . . it’s not because we got to buy new outfits for church today. No . . . it’s not even because we … Read entire article »

Happy Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday!

I have this picture on my dining room wall. Several years ago, my husband and I went out for coffee at a Christian coffee shop, and this picture was hanging in their little gift shop. I could not take my eyes off it all night! I mentioned it to my husband, and he surprised me at Christmas with it a few months later. Why couldn’t I keep my eyes off it? I grew up in church … Read entire article »

OK 2 Be U(nique)!

OK 2 Be U(nique)!

There is only one you! Did you know that? Of course you did. 🙂 Do you remember when you learned about your unique fingerprints . . . or how about your one-of-a-kind DNA? I know you noticed the differences in everyone’s hair and skin color, height, width, the shape of our eyes, nose, ears, hips and yes – even our thighs.  🙂 So, if we know we are all different and that there is no one like us –  then … Read entire article »

The Peaceful Mom: Becoming Desperate

I just HAD to share this with you today! Kimberlee – over at The Peaceful Mom – has written a transparent post today about a desperate (and depressed) time in her life. Are you struggling as well? Has depression hit you like a mac truck – or maybe rolled in like a storm front? You are not alone! We’ve all been there to varying degrees.  I’ve been in what seemed like a slippery slope into the pit of hell a … Read entire article »

FREE MP3 download: Graham Cooke – What God wants from you

Graham Cooke If you haven’t heard me say it before . . . I LOVE Graham Cooke! I love the kindness of God that he carries.  I love the heavenly perspective he has on life – especially on the difficult things we go through in life.  If you’ve read or listened to anything by him – you’ve probably heard him talk about getting an “upgrade” in life! When we are faced with a difficult situation (financial, relational, emotional, … Read entire article »

Are you a Winner – or a Loser?

Are you a Winner – or a Loser?

Rainy Day games It has been a rainy, dreary day all day today.  Yuck.  Not a pretty picture outside, but inside I  had fun playing board games with my 7 year old and my 9 year old.  Sadly, I was beat by both of them (Monopoly City by my 9 year old, and then Life by my 7 year old). When I lost at the game Life, I congratulated my sweet daughter, and then said “Well, I … Read entire article »
