My Biggest Blessings
This post may contain affiliate links and I may earn compensation when you click on the links at no additional cost to you. Kylie I’ve got a daughter that is 21 and about to begin her senior year as college athlete. Many people have said she’s my mini me. I’m flattered by that. You see, I’ve never been too hard on myself. I mean, I love me. I have more flaws than I care to mention, but they make me…me. But she is so much more than me. I have a caring heart, but she has a heart of gold. I have a way with words, but her words are more eloquent.…

When I was little, I thought about being may different things when I grew up. I played house and school the most. As I got a little older, I found that I didn’t really Iike kids. I decided I wasn’t EVER having kids. Young minds, right? In my teen years, I decided I wanted to be a clown. I love clowns! I didn’t just want to be any clown. I wanted to be a clown in the circus! The circus is one of my all time favorite…

Teaching Across the Globe

I was looking to make some extra cash for Christmas, but really had no desire to work in retail during the busiest shopping time of the year. I had my fill of that as a teen! Browsing Facebook, a sponsored ad appeared over and over again. I find those quite annoying, but I wondered about this particular one. After a few days of seeing it, I read a post from an old co-worker that…

What’s Your Refuge?

I feel convicted every time I read it. I am a huge worrier. What do I worry the most about on a daily basis? Food and clothes. I am so not one of those people that forget to eat or didn’t have time to eat. I don’t miss a meal. EVER. I plan around breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh, don’t forget about the snacks. The thing is, it doesn’t matter if I am binge eating, eating…

Am I a Fisher of Men?
This post may contain affiliate links and I may earn compensation when you click on the links at no additional cost to you. A few months ago in church, my pastor challenged us to become fishers of men. He wants us to tell our story and let people know how good God truly is. I have not done this. I have not led anyone to Christ. I fear I do not know enough. What if I can’t answer the questions asked? How can I lead another person to Christ if I come across clueless? My pastor encouraged us to just tell our story. So, here’s mine… My mom was raised…

The Kids Are Home
This post may contain affiliate links and I may earn compensation when you click on the links at no additional cost to you. Raising children is hard on your emotions. You laugh. You cry. You laugh because you cry. You hurt. You hurt for them. You get angry at them. You get angry at yourself for being angry at them. It’s hard. Every emotion I felt as my son and daughter were being raised in our home didn’t prepare me for the emotion I felt as they each left the house for college. I missed them so very much. It hurt. It sucked. It was hard. My husband and I…
