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 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

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 »

Forecast – An Abundance of Sunshine!

(photo by Chad Johnson) Yes -that was our forecast here yesterday – an “Abundance of Sunshine”! I love it! I have never heard that in a forecast before. I’ve heard “Mostly sunny, Partly sunny, Sunny” – but never an Abundance of Sunshine! It just made me smile! No matter where you are in this world – you too had an Abundance of Sunshine yesterday (and today, and tomorrow . . . )! You did! I’m not lying! Maybe I should have written it – “SONshine”. God really is everywhere! He is the “Light of this world” John 8:12 says – “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but … Read entire article »
