Excited by an Inauguration to come!

January 23rd, 2009 | Add a Comment

Did you watch the inauguration this week? Were you excited . . . amazed . . . in awe . . . indifferent . . . angry . . . sad? Did it stir up any emotions in you at all? I normally do not care about the inaugurations and have probably only watched 1 other in my life. But I could feel the excitement in the air everywhere I went about this past Tuesday’s events. It was as if royalty was coming to town. It definitely WAS an historic moment, and I am thrilled at how far we have come in the last 60 years – to finally see not only a black man as president, but to have seen 2 other women in the running … Read entire article »

Riding the Waves

January 18th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Are you feeling beat up today? Are you feeling tossed around, caught in the edge of a rough surf in life? What is causing you to feel that way? What can be done about it? There are many days when my life as mother of 5 little kids feels just that way – noisy, busy, exhausting, relentless, unending, and messy. The “waves” never end. The house continues to be a mess no matter how many hours I spend cleaning it. The kids will still whine, or cry, or scream, or fight tomorrow no matter how many times we’ve dealt with the same issues before. There will still be meals that need to be cooked, laundry that needs to be washed, boo-boos that need to be kissed, fights that need to … Read entire article »

The ONLY Resolution you need to make!

December 31st, 2008 | 1 Comment

In 2008, I resolve to . . . . What did you resolve to do in 2008? Did you write it down? Make a list? Was it longer than your grocery list? Did you make any resolutions or goals at all? In years past I have had goals and resolution lists longer than the Constitution and all it’s amendments. . . . . ok . . . maybe not quite that long . . . but close! And each year I felt like a big fat loser in looking at how many resolutions and goals I actually kept or obtained in the 12 months God gave me that year. So last year I decided to do things differently. . . . I didn’t make any goals or resolutions! I figured – if … Read entire article »

Life Abundantly . . . . Come Home!

God wouldn’t let me go to sleep a couple nights ago until I wrote this out. I thought it was for someone specific . . . but am not sure exactly who it is for. So I am posting it here. Maybe it’s for many of you. Even if you don’t think it’s for you – ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate anything He might want to say to you through this. And then act on what He shows you!Go Deep!! Live FREE!L 🙂 **On Nov. 3rd – God showed me who it was for and I gave it to her. It still may be for someone else out there – so I will leave it posted for now. ** October 30th, 2008 “I have come – that you might have life … Read entire article »

I know how you feel

October 23rd, 2008 | Add a Comment

2:35pm – The school bus arrives and unloads my precious cargo. I gear myself up for what is about to walk through the door. “Welcome home!” I sweetly sing. “How was your day? Come give me a hug. Do you need a snack? Let’s get one before we start homework, ok? I’m so glad you are home.” Frowns, grumbling, screaming, angry faces seem to be the normal response from 2 of the 3 kids. . . . the boys to be specific. I remain calm and give lots of love, hugs and kisses (to those that will still let me), and continue to speak in my “nice mom” voice. My daughter is usually happy upon returning home, but I spend the next 2 hours, … Read entire article »
