Me, me, aaaaaand me

Something I'm learning about myself while I purge all the social media crap outta my mind and heart... FACT : I do not need to tell everyone what I know or what I'm learning. THOUGHTS : Not sure why I feel this compulsive need to post everything. I didn't grow up needing to share my …

New Year, New Me… kinda

HAPPY 2019!!!  (3 weeks in...) This year I have decided to unplug from all forms of social media for the year.  Which means that all 2 of you reading this are doing so because you are subscribed and not because I posted it on any form of social media.  HAHAHA!!!  I was reading through last …

*I* MUST die!

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” - Proverbs 16:18 ESV * I * MUST die! I feel like the big trials I face are easier to run to Jesus about than small trials. Right?  Anyone else feel that way?  We know we need to run to God during the crazy hard …

Be Still and Know

This morning as I was doing my quiet time, I reflected back on some of my earlier journal entries when I stumbled across something from Jan 13, 2017.  Psalm 46:10 says "He says, Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." …

I’m So Important… NOT!!!

“Today I am drinking my passion fruit unsweet tea.  What a great taste of summer...in January.  Come on summer... hurry up and get here!” Really.  Who the heck cares....right?  I realize that a year ago, I would have posted that I had just made passion fruit unsweet tea and was now drinking it and it …

Moving is Never Easy

Sometimes God tells us to move and it's never easy.  Now, I'm not talking about a physical move, although those are super hard, I'm talking about God moving us away from ourselves and towards Him.  Which is some cases could be even harder.  Case in point, this weekend.... I texted a friend because I had …

Christmas Lights and Being Thankful

So, I started putting away Christmas stuff today... What a thankless job.  In November, when Christmas is a twinkle in everyone's eyes and we're waiting with anticipation the holiday season, setting up Christmas is super exciting for everyone.  Everyone is participatory and totally pumped for the decorations and the memories. as well as all the …

Men vs Women

Men versus women.  This will always be a thing, right?  Especially in marriage!  LOL!  Things can go swimmingly along and then whamo!  Someone steps on someone else's toes and it all goes to heck.  GAH! This time, instead of fuming and playing the blame game and trying to pin the argument on my husband, I …

Hello 2018

Today we are on the cusp of a brand new year.  What do you do as you look forward?  Do you make New Year's Resolutions or ignore the whole thing?  I used to try to make resolutions, but I'd get about 2 weeks in and quit.  Yep, I'd quit.  I am not motivated by goals. …
