What Ifs
I play the “What If” game too much. You know the game….the one you play in your head too. Don’t deny it, we all do it. Some of us more than others, but we’re all guilty members of this not so wonderful club. When life gets stressful, I start playing. I don’t mean to. I… Read more

The art of a run
I’m not a lover of running. Let’s be clear here. I have friends who run dozens of miles at a time and love it…..I don’t. I feel like a thudding elephant when I run. With that said, I must confess I have fallen in love with the art of running. A year and a half… Read more

When “me” becomes “we”
I have this gratitude calendar I’ve been keeping all year. It was something impressed on my heart last Christmas to do, and every day for the last year I have been reading one piece of Scripture and writing down the “gifts” of that day. {Side note here…if you haven’t read Ann Voskamp’s “1000 Gifts” you… Read more

Stable Anchors
Blinding sunshine and fluffy white clouds greet me in the morning. By afternoon, those same white billowing clouds roll into the harbor dark and ominous. Wind roars down the streets, trees sway and within moments cracks of thunder and peels of lighting scatter the sky. These storms are majestic, fierce, beautiful and terrifying at times.… Read more

Hard seasons make soft hearts
Let’s be a little real for a while, shall we? Is it just me, or can Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tinder, Snapchat, etc. make life feel really depressing at times? Everything isn’t always wonderful and perfect. And a filter can’t always fix the image in front of us. (But really, let’s thank the designer… Read more

Monday Mayhem
Monday…. Let’s talk about Monday. It’s amazing how the short hours of the morning can set the stage for the entire day. Likewise, how the start of Monday can set the stage for the whole week! So when I got my butt out of bed on time, showered, packed a kid up for camp, got… Read more

Yes, Please
I feel as if I say a lot of “no” in my world. I’ve heard it come out of my mouth far to often for my pleasure. “No, you can’t eat that cookie now!” “No, we aren’t going out.” “No, you can’t do that.” No. No. No. Then I heard myself tell God “No.” and… Read more
