The house that God will build

So I don’t care much for material things. I don’t like to spend more than $50 on jeans and I wear hand me downs on the regular without shame. I shop at Target and on Facebook marketplace. I wear Tiffany’s only because it’s been gifted to me. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’d never buy it. I …

Independence

Hey there Readers, Happy (belated) 4th of July! We’ve had a busy few days over here, as we have visitors at the farm once again- Ba and Nana (my in laws)- and we’ve had plenty of adventure since they arrived on the 1st of July. But because yesterday was the day we celebrated our independence as a Nation, I figured …

Against the wind

“Against the wind We were runnin’ against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin’ against the wind.” I love that song. Well, I love the Forrest Gump soundtrack anyway. And of course the lyrics to this song fit perfectly with my blog today because not only am I an official ‘runner’ now- as you know if you’ve …

Hurry up and slow down

I’m a ‘yes’ man. Well, I’m clearly a woman, but you get where I’m going with this. I say yes to everything and to everyone. And I used to think that was a good thing! I don’t mind being busy, or having a lot on my plate. I feel, probably like most of you, that it makes me important. When …

What’s the point?

Last night was my monthly women’s huddle. I have the great pleasure of leading a small group of Impact Women who are bound and determined to change their life! No small responsibility, I assure you, but I am learning just as much as they are on this path to self discovery and self mastery. And recently, God has put such …

Traditions

What do you do for Christmas? Do you have any traditions that you love? Is there anything, now that you’re an adult, that you’ve done since you were a kid during the holiday season? Of course I mean other than the obvious Santa or Menorah things… Am I the only one who can honestly answer, ‘Not a dang thing?’ I’ve …

More on Mary…

Oh, I’m not done with Christmas, Readers! Not yet! Not even close! I wish I would have thought to do a 12 blogs of Christmas, because there is just that much, but hey- there is always next year! So for today, I want to head back to our dear friend Mary (as in Jesus’ mom). Mary didn’t have a last …

Mary, did you know?

I hate that song. I’m sorry if it’s your favorite Christmas song, but I’m definitely not a fan. Is it new? I think I heard it for the first time last year, and now there are covers of it! Are there really multiple recordings of this terrible ballad? I can’t get into it because although it’s catchy, I’ll admit it, …

Anchored

I recently had the privilege- yes, I intend that word- to attend the funeral of a beautiful friend, whom I would never have the chance to meet. Her name was Sarah. She was a mom of three- her kid’s ages are similar to my three. She was a wife of 10 years- she passed just a few days shy of …

Transplants

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 …
