I “think” God is asking me to do something NEW… And no I can’t tell you what it is. Infact I’ve only told one other person… (thank you ‘person’ for listening, praying and Continue reading »

It feels like summer is truly here, and I’m far behind my goal and schedule of shedding my “winter coat”. I started off the early Spring with a sensible and realistic goal. But there is a problem Continue reading »

This isn’t my typical type of post… but I wanted to share. Last night was my “birthday dinner”, even though it’s not officially my birthday yet. Rather, I have birthday weeks. A girl only gets a birthday once a year, so I Continue reading »

Yesterday was a good writing day.
Trying to write a manuscript (book) and maintain a blog has been an exercise in faith. I know how silly that sounds. But in my shoes, it’s a REAL issue. Every time I make a new post, it takes “creativity tokens” out of my “creativity bank”. Every time I write a devotion or another entry in my journal, more tokens are taken. And sometimes I Continue reading »

For years my parents “toyed” around with the idea of a second home or apartment near my brother and his family…who live in Sioux Falls, SD. Then a little over 6 months ago, they decided to take the plunge, sell their home in California and move Continue reading »

I do love working with kids… I tell people often that I love working with them cause I don’t have them. It’s true.
I have a bleeding heart for kids. They are our future and they are in danger! Kids today face things I never faced. Kids know stuff that I Continue reading »

I’ve been waiting to exhale for several months now… There is so much change in my life and honestly everything happening in my life feels so raw that I don’t even know how to talk about it.

There is a girl I’ve worked with for nearly a decade. She began working with me before she was even of legal drinking age; so really, I’ve been watching her grow up.
The last two years of her life, in her shoes, have been a blur. I honestly thought after many weekends that I would get terrible news Monday morning of a serious Continue reading »

I was talking with someone quite close to me about how often one can be forgiven… for doing the same “bad” thing over and over again. And how can those same people be in church and call themselves Christians? Aren’t they held to a higher standard since they are representing Christians and “Church”? Continue reading »

As a little girl I sang a song:
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart – WHERE?
Down in my heart – WHERE? Down in my heart.
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart – WHERE?
Down in my heart to stay. Continue reading »

There is a church about 1,750 miles from here that has done something freaky weird. On the morning of May 3rd 2009 a basket of envelopes sat at the front of the church. Each family household in the congregation got an envelope. Inside the envelope was hope, love and sacrafice.
It sounds crazy, but in each envelope was Continue reading »

Those that know me REALLY well, know I’m a huge fan of Tori Amos. I give a lot of credit to her, as it was one of her songs that shook me out of a zombie state of existence I was in while I endured an abusive Continue reading »
