  • International Women’s Day….Who Knew???

    Today is International Women’s Day. Who knew? Did you? Have you heard of this before? I’ve been a woman for 33 years and on social media for many of those years, and had NO CLUE about this day. While watching The Notebook on tv this week, I saw a commercial flick across MTV about “life… Read more

  • How Do I Hear from God?

    , , ,

    I sat at brunch with a friend discussing achievements, plans, goals, and dreams. We talked about some potentially big changes in her family and she looked me square in the eyes and said, “I want to be sure I obey God, but how do you know when you hear from God?” It’s a hard question… Read more

  • Room

    , , ,

    My husband and I have been walking through Genesis in our quiet time these past few weeks. The last time I read through the Bible I was a teenager, and it was something to check off my list for youth group. Now I find I am soaking in passages, seeing themes emerge, and truth leaping… Read more

    I gotta be honest, January was a rough start to a new year. Hard places bring about God’s grace, but it’s never easy to walk the hard places. Some fun information for you lovely readers…..I got the opportunity to guest post of a friend’s site. Bobi Ann and I got to meet and connect when… Read more

  • Marked

    I got out of my car the other day to pump gas. Three boys giggling and teasing each other in the back seat. Noise coming from sealed windows. As I loaded the gas pump into my tank and turned toward the display screen my eyes caught a glimpse of my gym pants. Chalk marked the… Read more

  • Shepherds and Inn Keepers

    As we walk into Christmas week there’s a shift happening. The presents have been bought, the wrapping paper is out. Christmas parties have ensued. Kids are on break from school. There’s an electric excitement in the air each morning when my kids wake and move the hand on the advent calendar one day closer to… Read more

  • Matroyshka & Me

    , , , ,

    My grandmother immigrated to America from Eastern Europe when she was a young woman. My parents still have some of the treasures she brought with her.  Teacups, saucers, a blanket, and serving tray, trinkets of a life left behind. As a little girl I used to play with a set of Matryoshka dolls, also know… Read more

  • 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
