The Beauty In Different
It's sad to say, but it's true.. Too often Christians are known for what we are against.. Not for what we are for. Not all of us.. Not all of the time.. But a lot of the time. Sometimes people are turned off by the church in general. And hear me when I say …

A LETTER TO MY DADDY
Psalm 84:10a (NIV) ~ Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. It's been one year since I've seen your face, your smile, and felt your hugs. One year since I have heard you say "I love you", or been able to ask you for advice, or just sit with you and …

BEAUTIFUL GRACE
I lost it the other morning. Like from 0-60 in 5 seconds lost it. My poor husband was the victim. He informed me of an important matter and I took it as one more thing added to my plate or stack of plates. They all came unbalanced and toppled to the floor. I have 5 …

Spending Time Alone
What happens when you don't really want to BE PRESENT? You know... The days that you want to be alone. Zoned out. On an island even. The days that you just want to withdraw into the shadows. The days when you are just completely mentally drained. Feeling like you are pulled in a …

Thankful Thursdays ~ March 21st
I decided to start posting these "Thankful Thursdays" again. See, it is easy to get out of the habit of practicing thanksgiving, and I need little reminders from time to time. Maybe you do as well. While doing one of my morning daily devotions, One Thousand Gifts Devotional by Ann Voskamp, I just …

Prayer Is A Beautiful Thing
Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Why is it, that we tend to look at prayer as a last resort? Oh...come on..don't tell me you always think "let me pray first." We like to think of ourselves this way. We like for others to think of us …
