  • “It Was the Love,” He Said….

    “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…

  • Yep, He Had My Back the Whole Way!

    Boy 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…

  • Journey Down Memory Lane & Back

    Mixed 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…

  • Bittersweet Life Events

    Lots 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…

  • Thought-Provoking Movie Night

    Movies.  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…

  • Can You Believe It Is 2014?!

    It’s 2014…..can you believe it!?  Another year has flown by already.  This year will mark many changes for me – some of them will be bittersweet. I’m not one to do New Year’s resolutions or anything like that – for me it has always simply been a new number on the calendar and that was…

  • Amazing Love, Power Thoughts, Prayer Power & Lifestyle Changes

    Amazing 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…

  • Always Trying to Be in Control – Ha!

    Do you ever struggle with hearing God’s gentle voice?  I do.  I believe it is because I am a ‘take control’ type of person and I tend to act before I think on things too much. This often means I bulldoze right on into things without checking in with God first to see if He…

  • Take Time to Reflect

    I just got back from the BEST vacation!  We haven’t been on an out-of-town vacation in almost 4 years – so needless to say, it was MUCH needed.  But besides that, God revealed a lot of things to me. Briefly I will tell you that we live in the Texas Panhandle – if you have…

  • It Has Been One of THOSE Days!

    We all have days that make you wonder if you shouldn’t go back home and start over……or go back to bed.  It seems like we had one like that today at work. Monday.  Walk in and find that two offices have been flooded due to who-knows-what….some leaking pipes or something.  It ruined a few things…
