I haven’t blogged/posted in almost a year. I have, however, written a lot (it’s my way of processing), but then always thought, “Nah – who cares?” when it came time to post. However, for months now, I’ve been convicted that God does want me to share (even if it’s only as a way to document… Continue reading #lukethomas
This morning I woke up and thought…”UGH…TODAY is THE day…the one that I dread and often pray an angel (or REALLY great friend) would show up to handle for me. It’s the “Take Christmas Down… and Stuff It Back In The Boxes” Day. Usually this happens before January 11th – but this year we celebrated… Continue reading January 11th: Yep – it’s that time of year…again.
Anyone that has been around me for longer than 5 minutes knows that I was struggling with how this Christmas was going to play out. I was struggling with our older two daughters and their husbands, (as well as our new grandson), having other plans/being out of town and the day just being “sad” with missing… Continue reading A Different Christmas Day – 2013
Earlier this week, (on Twitter) Bill Hybels (Senior Pastor of Willow Creek) wrote: “I’m working on my Top 10 Blessings from God in 2012 to share with my family on December 31. We read and explain all 10 to each other. Try it!” I immediately thought, “Gosh – wish we would do that” and then… Continue reading Blessings from 2012
Written July 10th – 12:15 AM (for some reason my blog just wouldn’t let me upload it before now?) So – this is one of those times when I feel God’s leading on what I am to write about. I’ve known I’ve needed to write it for days…just been avoiding it. But – in order… Continue reading Confession Time: My (almost) date with "Magic Mike"
I actually wrote this over two weeks ago while I was in Phoenix and had lots of time to think, pray and write. Saw this idea on another person’s blog and thought it was a great way to get my initial thoughts out…as well as to catch some people up on my life (since I… Continue reading "100 Things"
So – I am still in Phoenix and truly loving having this time away with God and my man. I’m bursting with things that I’m learning/that God is showing me and reading and writing a lot. I’ve stuck to a strict “no TV during the day” policy and I’ve been shocked how quickly the days… Continue reading "A Day of FIRSTS"
I am both shocked and embarrassed at how long it’s been since I posted on this blog..but “I’m back” and currently have lots to type/say! God is giving me, once again, the desires of my heart…some time away with Him. I’m currently sitting in a hotel room in Phoenix, Arizona. My man is here for… Continue reading "I’m Baaaaaack…"
A few months ago I received this really cool invitation (really it was more like a MAGAZINE!) for a conference for women. It was (to be honest) a little “over the top” but – had some awesome photos in it. I was flipping through it (probably a little judgmental – like, “Why did they spend… Continue reading This Is the Woman I Want To Be!
Tom and I have had this “rule”/understanding between us that we both can’t “freak” (regarding his job search/unemployment) on the same day. There are mornings that I get up and am just overwhelmed with fear – and while I know that is not where God wants me, it’s just where I am sometimes. So –… Continue reading "I Call Today" (to FREAK!)
This too shall pass...
