  • The Inevitability of Death

    There is nothing that makes you think more about your own mortality than when someone you know passes away.

    Have you ever had a garden? Watched it grow from a seed in the dirt into a beautiful flower, or a hearty tomatoes? I am not much of a gardener, but over the last few years I have successfully gotten cucumbers and tomatoes to grow in my garden. I’ve turned my black thumb into more…

  • 2020

    It is definitely a different world that we are living in right now. A different kind of norm than we are used to. Oftentimes now when we have the opportunity to leave our homes, this is how we leave or are greeted by others. Yes, this is definitely different and hard. And with everything negative…

    Have you ever had a really bad day and then a stranger out of nowhere comes and tells you what you need to hear and just lifts you up? Or maybe even someone you know just places a random call to encourage you when you least expect it?  I had this experience yesterday afternoon while…

    Heartaches and Bad Tastes

    My heart has ached so much for the people in the beautiful state of Florida, the great state of Texas and all others affected by the hurricanes. My heart also goes out to all of those that are affected by the wildfires out in the west. But even more so, my heart grieves over some…

    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.

    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…
