It’s been almost a year since I wrote this post… O My Soul. No sufficient words can explain the peace that has taken over my heart and life over the last 11 months. God is so good! Little Paula finally let go and made some changes… deep ones… that have caused a...
When I requested to join the blog tour for Halo Found Hope, I had no idea how much her story was going to impact my life. After walking through my mother’s brain tumor as a teenager, Helo’s story helped me to understand (in detail) more about what my mom must have dealt with...
You know how much fun kids have with Easter eggs? Egg hunts are one of their favorites parts about Easter. One thing that I have struggled with in the past few years is how some feel the need to separate certain secular traditions from holidays. Santa Claus and his elves, Christmas trees...

Jeffrey loves basketball… watching it, playing it, talking about it, doing play-by-play. It’s pretty fun to watch him when he gets excited about making a shot (or when Duke wins). He plays for two different leagues right now, and yesterday he had two games back-to-back. The...
I haven’t done a Five Minute Friday in a long time, but thought I would join in today. This blog hop is now hosted by Kate Motaung. The goal of Five Minute Friday is to write for five minutes straight, no editing or rewriting…. basically a flowing stream of thought. Definitely...
