TO MY DAUGHTER
You and I have been through a lot over the years. It has been me-n-you since you were barely a year old. Look at you now – a 26 year old, a grown-up, an adult, a mother of two, a wife!

Read more“It Was The Love” I just heard a man’s testimony on the radio this morning that struck a chord with me. He said that he grew up Muslim. However, through a lot of adverse things in his life, he became an Atheist. At one point a couple of years ago, he decided he was tired of all of the anger
Read moreBoy has it been a year! I have been through the ringer and this ol’ single mom is T-I-R-E-D! But I’m also very grateful that I’m not alone. Here are just some of the things I can recall for 2014: 1) Started the New Year with frozen pipes/issues – meant lugging water in for a couple of weeks 2) Furnace stopped
Read moreMixed emotions. That is what I have been experiencing lately. Like a roller-coaster, up on minute, down the next. Funny how going down memory lane can bring back emotions as if you were back in that time. It kind of wears you out to be up one moment and then deeply saddened in the very next one. My daughter and
Read moreI can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since May – and here it is October! A lot has been going on for sure. Some of it has been tough, but I lean heavily on God and He always sees me through! As mentioned in this previous post, my daughter and son-in-law moved down south. They are doing well though we are
Read moreLots of things have taken place of late (since March). All have been quite emotional and has taken me on quite the journey of soul-searching and learning. Without notice, my employer laid several people off – and I was included in that group. My supervisor called me while I was on vacation to break the news to me. The layoffs

Read moreMovies. I have watched a couple of movies recently that really touched me. Movies that had me coming away still thinking about them and I thought I would share some of those thought with you. The first was called ‘The Intouchables’ – a 2011 movie and based on a true story – full of meaning and humor. It is about
Read moreI did it again. I let my faulty ‘auto-pilot’ kick in when an unexpected problem came up recently. I had to give myself a good talking to for sure! Good news though – I am learning to lean on my Father more and more. And though I may panic for a bit I continue to remind myself to stop and
Read moreAmazing Love I watched a movie on Netflix called ‘Amazing Love – The Story of Hosea’ last night. Have you seen it? Even heard of it? I was surprised to find out that this movie came out in 2012 because it felt like an older movie. I say this because the acting wasn’t great and it was a bit on
