I wanted to share a particularly awesome blog with you all. This one has a purpose, a heavenly one. These girls have been through the trenches of depression and have been given a passion by God to offer comfort to others. They are living out 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. Praise be to the God and Father […]
The One with My Focus {and too much of a good thing}
Lately, I’ve been… …eating far too many Crunchy Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies. …loving every minute of teaching piano lessons. …trying to ignore the little piles of this and that stacking up all over the house. …contenting myself in the stage of life I’m in. …becoming quickly addicted to Grey’s Anatomy. Thank you, Netflix. I watched […]
The One with the 10 Fave Snack Duos
It’s no secret I love food. I mean, I have an entire blog designated to recipe after recipe. Today I thought I’d simply share my favorite food combinations. There are just some snacks that are meant to pair up. I can hardly eat pretzels without popping in a few M&Ms. I mean really? You have probably […]
The One with the Devil’s Schemes
It’s interesting, this thing called life. Walking day by day in the grace of God brings an even more vibrant perspective. We have those days or weeks (or months, if we’re lucky) of blessing and plenty and overflow. Everything seems almost perfect. We get along with our spouses. Money isn’t an issue. Friends are abundant. Trials seem […]
The One with the Paperclip Project
My husband’s mind works like no other. I love to sit back and watch the wheels turning. Many of his mannerisms change as he sinks deep into thought–his breathing slows and deepens, his eyes sometimes bat back and forth as if reading line after line of information, he might pull out the “air calculator,” and […]

The One with the Super Fast Sleds
Last minute plans are sometimes the best kind! After an absolutely lovely Saturday of book reading (The Help), birthday girl visiting (one of my beautiful Sr. Teen girls), and biology studying (with another one of my girls), I joined Sheryl & the kids for a date to Friendly’s. We were all in the mood for […]
The One with His Vivid Will
Today’s Five Minute Friday writing prompt is:Vivid At times the will of God seems mysterious, unknown. We have trouble handing our futures and our dreams and our pains over to his trustworthy hands. As if He has somehow failed us in the past. But He has never me failed me. And He never will. But you […]
The One with Dream Supporters
You know what’s amazing? Having a friend who believes in you. I mean really believes in you. It all starts with a random brainstorm a few moments before the head hits the pillow. The kind of thoughts that keep you thinking, writing notes down in the dark, hoping the letters are actually forming words on […]
The One with Glimpses of Grace
Every once in a while I have an “off” week. You know the kind, don’t you? I just feel “blah” for no apparent reason. The couch becomes my best friend, and I can’t motivate myself to move more often than necessary. I watch too much tv and feel guilty about it, but I can’t seem […]
