Go and Live Your Life
I was raised in an era where the rules were, you get a job, get married, buy a house plus cars, have kids and that would be your life. You stayed together no matter what, for the sake of the kids, but ten years ago, I realized that wasn’t true and didn’t want my daughter…

It’s Yours for the Taking
There’s a quote on a chalkboard hanging in the hallway that says, “Take what you have and make it what you want.” The chalkboard has a few quotes listed, but that one is read each night before bed as I mentally recap my day. I’ve been outside scrubbing mold and mildew off my front porch…

Say Yes to Rest
The learning to rest thing is not easy, but it’s worth every effort given. I see ancient patterns resistant to change because they’ve been with me for a lifetime. As a child I don’t recall taking time for rest. Mama kept us busy because she believed if we had too much time on our hands…

A Season of Horrid
My mail lady is going through some changes with the postal service. The other day I asked her, “How are you doing?” and she said, “I’m making $6,000 a year less and doing the same work!” I wasn’t expecting that. This week, I dropped a note in the mailbox for her along with a Starbuck’s…

Loosening My Grip
I feel lighter and more free today than yesterday. I’ve felt this way before and have said something similar many times. By His grace I hope to tap into this intermittent feeling many more times, but for now let’s stay in today. I’m storing a coffee table for my daughter until she is ready to…

These Three Cups
There was a bird singing so loudly it was almost disturbing. That could have something to do with watching the old Alfred Hitchcock movie, “Birds” before bed. Since watching that movie, I’ll think twice when seeing a row of crows perched along power lines! 😂 I found this pattern interesting and wanted to write about…

Put In the Call
Each moment you can choose to practice My Presence or to practice the presence of problems. Sarah Young When we pray those urgent prayers, it’s like putting in a call to God for help. I didn’t know what was happening when the truck pulling a wood chipper drove up and parked in front of my…

Cooking For One (Maybe 2)
I recently streamed a movie entitled ‘Adam’ and it was very good. Adam is a grown man with Asperger’s Syndrome and at the beginning of the movie the camera showed how infinitely organized his flat was. In his freezer he had a row of frozen Amy’s Macaroni and Cheese, so Adam is basically my soulmate.…

I Almost Missed It
I couldn’t find a good photo online of what I saw. Maybe it was a moment that couldn’t be caught by a phone camera. I thought about taking a picture, because at the time my phone was in my hand. This is also how I almost missed it. There’s a popular saying, “Do more things…

Joy in the Morning
The feature photo for this post is my current screensaver on my phone. I replace it periodically, depending on the type encouragement needed for the journey, and I do the same thing with my laptop. There are quite a few songs that helped me walk through hell this year, but when I heard this song…

Learning to Rest
Recently, I took a 30-day hiatus from Blogging to give my words a rest. That’s what I’m learning about and it’s spilling over into other areas of my life. I’m even reading books about rest because I’ve never been good at it, but want to be. Rest doesn’t mean napping the day away, but I…
