Today is one of those “Getting Tons of Things Done But You Don’t Really Feel Like You’re Getting Anything Done” days. It’s a really good feeling (sometimes, once a week TOPS!) to be accomplishing, accomplishing, accomplishing. Scurrying hither and thither, cleaning up messes as they are made, baking cookies in between times, filing paperwork, balancing the checkbook ledger, […]
On Striving. and Holiness
Jesus says, I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have pulled you out of the mire and muck of your sin-laden life. I have redeemed you, dressed you in my purest garment, and written your name in the Book of Life. Never will I forget you or forsake you. Look at Israel. She […]
Devotions in the Snow
Some of you remember reading about my views on snow…if not, you can scroll down a bit and it’ll become apparent. I love snow. Seriously, I think it’s about the only thing that makes cold weather worth it, although I am less bothered by cold weather now that I’ve decided to wear things including (but […]
The One with My Friend Debbie
Today, at the end of a Wednesday, I wanted to talk a short walk down memory lane. Yesterday, I was able to spend 5 minutes with my lovely friend, Debbie, and I was instantly reminded of the blessed time I spent with her this summer. She has become such an instrumental part of my life. […]
The One with the Friday that Deserves It’s Own List.
(last) Friday’s Factoids. Yes, “factoids.” 1. Leaving the house on Friday afternoon is NOT a good idea. At least not last Friday. The roads and stores were packed–I’m talkin’ Christmas-season-packed. It was ridiculous and I hope to never encounter such pointless chaos again. These people were doing errands like it was going out of style. […]
The One with the Perfect Power
Isn’t it amazing how God works? He often asks me to be patient, to wait on his sovereign timing. He wants me to trust in His plan for my life and enjoy the journey as He leads me. I must not rush ahead, being over-eager to see around the corner. It will come. Wait patiently […]
The One with My Love of New Kitchen Gadgets
CSN Stores contacted me a while back about doing a review of any product in any of their 200+ online stores. SWEET. I got especially excited when I discovered the cookware.com branch. Umm, yes I’m totally there! I had an awful time narrowing down my selections. They have every item I have ever even considered wanting for my kitchen. Brands range from […]
The One with the Long Post for the Long Thursday
Thursday was a lovely (and totally packed) day. After a productive early morning of cleaning, making breakfast and lunch for my husband before his sub job, a great workout, and a delicious bowl of oatmeal, I headed out to accomplish our weekly grocery shopping. I have to admit, I really really enjoy grocery shopping. Thanks to […]
The One with Our Christmas Day
I am ashamed to see that I haven’t yet posted our Christmas Day pictures and memories. It was a quite a fun filled, food filled, family filled day! Kevin and I arrived at my parents’ house on Christmas Eve (well, technically Christmas Day) at 12:45am. We were exhausted, but so happy to see mom and […]
The One with the Fitness Resolutions
Ahhh, yes. It must be the first Monday of the New Year. The parking lot of the local YMCA was packed. I am not kidding. People were making their own spots at the end of the rows and even leaving their vehicles along the grass. Holy moly. Can you say “resolutions“?? About a week ago, as […]
