A few years back I was at the grocery store on a Sunday night. Mondays (at that season in my life) were one of my catch-up days. Appointments, writing, phone calls – that was the day I used to get things done I didn’t normally have time for in order to work hard Tuesday throughContinue reading “God nudge …”

Growing up I always seemed to hang out with people older than me. They were either my sister’s friends or kids a few years older in school.   Now that I’ve been married, the pendulum seems to have shifted more toward friendships with people who are younger than myself. It might have something to doContinue reading “Friendship …”

I’ve had the privilege of working many different jobs in my life: from working in a residential home with troubled children to daycare owner to foster care/adoption worker then back to daycare owner and more. During one of my years of owning my own daycare, one family went through a season of hardship. The wifeContinue reading “Hands and Feet …”

Doesn’t it seem like when two (or more) women get together, gossip inevitably starts? It usually begins with, “Would you all pray for …” and then the “juicy tidbits” spew out.   I think part of doing life with others is being allowed to share one’s feelings freely.

Does prayer (usually) make you happier than you were before you prayed? I have one particular Sister in Christ (SiC) who lives far enough away fromContinue reading “Prayer …”

I have a favorite saying … “I won’t say it if it isn’t true.” Therefore, if you know me at all, you can rest assure if it comes out of my mouth, I believe it. However, I also hate confrontation, so if I think I might hurt someone’s feelings, I might not say anything atContinue reading “Speak Truth …”

Whether you’re married or single … who would you say is the leader in your house? What about if I asked, who’s the leader in your relationships? Career? Lifestyle choices? For me, my goal every day is to put God first and let Him lead. My writing. My attitude. My eating habits. Whether or notContinue reading “Who is your leader?”

People who attend church regularly usually have heard of the word “tithe” and have a general idea that it means to give God the first 10% of your paycheck, or money you receive, before using the rest as you decide.   To give Him back 10% of His own riches is a sign of trust.Continue reading “Giving God My Firsts …”
