Well folks, we are a few days into 2022, and we all hope for a better year, but what are we doing to make this year better than the last? If we are waiting on others to improve our lives, we will keep on waiting just like we did all through 2021. So, what canContinue reading “Hope For the New Year”

It’s a good time to look back at our new year’s resolutions and take stock in our lives. So, what’s your resolution? Are you any good at keeping them? I have found that the more specific the goal, the more accountable I am to it. For example, one year, instead of resolving to lose weight,Continue reading “Happy New Year!”

My Dear Prayer Warriors, My childhood friend, Charlie, needs your prayers. He is in the fight of his life, FOR his life. Cancer. It doesn’t look good right now, but our God is mighty, and He promises that the prayers of the righteous are mighty too, so please extend this plea to as many peopleContinue reading “Prayers for Charlie”

My favorite Halloween memory is from many years ago. It was my son’s second Halloween—the first where he actually got to go trick or treating. He was so cute dressed in his Tigger costume, and he was so proud for wearing it. That evening, I finished cooking supper and then we hit the streets. HeContinue reading “My Favorite Halloween Memory”

Hello readers! I know I have been away for a while. I moved and started a new job a few months ago and have been busy settling into my new life (which I love, by the way). We also have a new puppy. The kids are grown and gone and have been replaced with someoneContinue reading “I’m Back”

Most people might agree that 2020 has been a pretty bad year. On a personal level, my family was doing okay until about halfway through, but unfortunately, when the hits came, they just progressively got worse. We can’t wait till 2020 ends, but what on earth will the new year bring? Will Covid magically goContinue reading “The Hits Just Keep on Comin’”

Many of you already know, my husband and I have embarked on a new adventure and started the long process of moving. Over the weekend, we moved the animals (We have two cats and five chickens). Believe it or not, the cats were much easier to catch, and chickens aren’t stupid! Our spoiled chickens liveContinue reading “Chasin’ Chickens”

But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:15 Forgiveness is a hard choice, but a choice it still is. When people hurt us, we can either forgive them and move on, or we can let the hurt take over our hearts.  Do they deserve ourContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Well, it’s time for me to put my money (or lack thereof) where my mouth is. I talk about faith all the time. I say, “Don’t worry, just pray.” I say this because it works, and I have had to put it to the test more times than I can count. The past two decadesContinue reading “Peace that Surpasses All Understanding”

Today is a bittersweet day for me.  It’s the second Mother’s Day without my mom, but she is in Heaven enjoying freedom and good health, and I feel her with me every day. Sometimes I still feel that finger in my face fussing at me too, and she would be surprised that I do still listen.  IContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”

Today my mom has been away from us for one year. Her absence is still felt. My mom was a queen, strong and dignified, demanding, loving, and tough on us.  In spite of the occasional difficult days, she was my friend, my safety net, my advisor, and definitely my conscience.  She taught me about God.  She always hadContinue reading “Happy 1st Anniversary in Heaven”
