I’m moving on… At last I can see Life has been patiently waiting for me And I know, there’s no guarantee but I’m not alone. There comes a time in everyone’s life Where all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days Are gone… Rascal Flatts… you guys get it! …
About two years ago we put the first house we ever bought on the market. We have been so very blessed by God. Sometimes I don’t understand it. I often find myself just in awe of what He has done in my life… both before and since I’ve known Him. But alas, Thomas and I were ever so very blessed …
So I had an interesting experience this weekend… I have had the absolute pleasure to co-author (along with 24 other amazing, powerful, successful, beautiful, inspiring women) a book called Success Through Failing. I have to say, the opportunity fell into my lap a little bit randomly, and yet I could see exactly why God put it in my life. I was …
Okay, so if you haven’t read On Fire by John O’Leary, STOP what you’re doing right now and go download it on audible. I don’t always listen to books on audible… but when I do, it’s because there is just something so dang special about hearing this particular story in HIS voice! I’m telling you, it will change your whole life! …
Ever had one of those weeks? You know, where you’re 14 month old get’s a bloody nose… twice. You find the remote control in the toilet. Your 3 year old literally touches the stove and burns his hand while you’re trying to get out the door for church… even though you explicitly told him it was HOT. Your 5 year …
Man, do I hear that ALL the time! And since we talked about it in church today, I figured what better topic to think on for the day. Question: What are we all so dang busy doing? And why do we wear this ‘busy-ness’ as a badge of honor? I have to tell you, when someone says to me, “I know …
I have to tell you, there has been something sitting so big on my heart over the last few days, and I think it’s perfect that I’m finally sitting down to put it to paper (so to speak) while I’m elbows deep in the flu. It’s gratitude. And yes, I’m even grateful to be sick right now. Because it reminds …
I spent some time this weekend talking about, and contemplating who I am, why I’m here and what it’s all for. Of course, being a believer myself, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what it’s all for and I’m starting to get a sense of why I’m here. But the who am I part… That’s tricky. …
I have to say I just laughed out loud because as I typed the title of this blog post I realized that that could be a heavy metaphor, man! I’m afraid of flying… Well, I intended for it to be literal. I’m sitting here in the airport, about to embark on a day’s worth of air travel, and it’s not …
I remember watching the movie “Far and Away” with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise when I was somewhere around eight years old (doesn’t everything in childhood happen right around when we were eight?), and thinking that I wanted to be famous. Why that movie? I have no idea at all- I’ve actually seen it since and it’s nothing special. But …
