  • Opportunities amidst the frustration and chaos?

    Opportunities amidst the frustration and chaos?

    I am often amazed at how when I pray specifically for something, something else happens that seems to counteract what I am praying for.  For example, if I am praying to be a better wife to my husband, seems that something happens and a fight erupts and it’s more of an I want to punch…

  • Eternal Happiness is a Fairytale…

    They say that we should be in the pursuit of happiness. You should do whatever makes you happy.  I see a problem with this thought process and here’s why:  Happiness is defined as the state of being happy Let’s break that down a little further  Happy is defined as a feeling. Whereas state is defined as a…

  • Are you listening?

    Are you listening?

    My girls really enjoy this show called Girl Meets World. This show is very nostalgic for me to my childhood as it is a spinoff of one of my childhood favorites, Boy Meets World.  One thing I love about this show (and I am super bummed that it cancelled after 3 season because it was…

  • Little instrument, powerful tool

    My teammates know that I am not one for a potty mouth and as we sat around in a meeting one day, one of the guys (who is known for his potty mouth – seriously, rarely can a sentence be said without the F-bomb) had just finished speaking with a few choice words mixed in…

  • (Not) A God of Second Chances

    (Not) A God of Second Chances

    Recently, I wrote a post about believing in the impossible and trusting that God is moving in ways that are unbelievable.  This can be a real struggle when you deal with people. Especially when you see God work miraculous things in another’s life and they still refuse to acknowledge all that He has pulled them…

  • Believe in the WHO – not the impossible HOW!

    Believe in the WHO – not the impossible HOW!

    In the book, Alice in Wonderland, Alice is quoted saying this,  Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. When was the last time you believed in something impossible in a day let alone before breakfast? What about a week?  I understand how hard it can be to believe in something…

    Hangry understanding

    Have you ever been stuck at a crossroads of trying to be understanding towards others but circumstances severely diminish your desire to try and be understanding?  Last night was a prime example for my husband and I. Currently, we are in Dallas at a conference for my husbands work. (He’s working. I’m writing and relaxing…

  • Stick to your guns…with LOVE

    Stick to your guns…with LOVE

    In light of Valentine’s Day, I’m thinking we all have love on our mind. But I want to take a moment and not talk about romantic love but the kind of love we should share with others every day.  It seems that in the day and age, we are slowly forgetting how to love others.…

  • The Master’s Hand

    The Master’s Hand

    I have come across so many people and even myself who have doubted their worth.  I may sound like a broken record here in stating how God loves you and that Christ thought you worthy enough to die for but let’s be honest, sometimes things take a bit to sink in. Especially when we have…

  • Believe in Yourself!

    I think everyone has had a time in their life that they have lost confidence. They have been brought down by the weight of the world and lose faith in their abilities and who God has made them to be. I know I have.  But God has built us magnificently and uniquely but life is…
