Grands…
Today on my drive home from work, as I do most days, I was listening to Family Talk Radio, a listener supported ministry on SiriusXM Ch 131. Todays topic, which will be finished up tomorrow, was about Grand-parents/kids and how Grandparents, when given a fighting chance, can and do make huge POSITIVE impacts in their…

Prayer for my kiddos
Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray to the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray to the Lord my soul he take. If I should die before morning sun. Y’all always remember this mommas fun love. It’s always in your hearts so deep. Should I…

Day After…
This is what happens for me after an evening of enjoyment. I feel like an old lady… 😂 Met some family for dinner and I think the chair I used hates me! Back is not good today.

Bitterness
Did you know that bitterness is a legit emotion? I mean I’ve heard of it, of course, but never really understood it. And I still don’t. However, it is a true feeling that needs to be addressed in order to be able to overcome it. I will be studying more on this topic and hope…

Exhausted
When I wake up feeling exhausted from a good nights sleep, I know what kinda day my body is going to have. I just want to climb back in bed and sleep it off but duty calls. I will go to work anyway with affirmation of thankfulness and joy to be alive to feel the…

Hospital Week
It’s officially Friday (the 13th for you superstitious ones) y’all! 🙌 This week was hospital week and I just so happen to work in a little rural hospital. Even though I work in the office part, I still got to be a part of the daily shenanigans. We have two lovely souls that run our…

Summer Heat
I don’t know about where you’re at but in Texas we’ve already got that summer heat goin on and it is way to soon! Typically this time of year it starts mild and gradually heating us up in preparation for July and August. This year, however, we are having July and August in May and…

Do you hate your life?
Someone told me they hate their life the other day. My response was well I don’t hate mine. I love my life! I really do. Life is what you make of it. If you’re negative all the time and only focus on the negative things that happen every day then you’re going to think and…

Mothers Day 2022
Mother’s Days for me are a bit different from the traditional get togethers in celebration of Mom. I am still appreciated just from a distance. I know without a doubt that I am always loved, even when they aren’t allowing me into their lives for one reason or another. Like any other family, we don’t…

It’s been a while…
Well I will be back at it, prayerfully. I took a long break from writing because what I want to write about, I think to my self that I probably shouldn’t. But it is my life and this is my blog so I can write about what’s happening in my life right!?! Gonna keep praying…

Hurt Heart
Words hurt and can’t be taken back as I’ve learned the hard way for most of my adult life. The closer with Christ I learn to walk/live the statement in the photo has proven to be more and more accurate. We know a true Christian by how they act, respond, talk, live, etc. Jesus was…

Motto
“Your society values people by how much they have; ours by how much we give away” I just heard this in a movie and it resonates with me that this should be the motto of every true Christian.

Fork In The Road
Do you ever feel like you’re at a fork in your road of life and so fearful of picking the wrong path that you choose to stay straight? I believe it’s the salad fork that has three prongs. While I’ve never understood the logic in the different prongs on forks, for this particular analogy I’m…

What Goes In Is What Comes Out
Isn’t it ironic how the ones you think will come to help you the most, in any situation, are the very ones that will actually help you the least? I don’t know how to explain it without offending people but let me just say what goes around, comes around. I don’t mean that distasteful in…

Scars
I am being as obedient to Gods Will as I can be by ignoring the source but the wounds keep going so deep. My scars keep getting bigger and deeper. I’ve been cut so deeply, by those that say they love me the most, and I just don’t know how to allow for complete healing.…

2021 Memorial Day
I hope we all enjoy our Memorial Day but please don’t say to have a happy one. It’s not such a “Happy” day for oh so many of those loved ones left behind. I pray that each one of them have peace in their hearts knowing their soldier, marine, airman, etc., died knowing the sacrifices…

Relationships
I watched a movie this evening that I had watched before but forgotten most of the scenes of. After it started I remembered the story line but decided to watch it again anyway just to refresh my memory of how it all played out. Plus, I figured, given that it’s also a comedy it’s a…

Nehemiah
Have you ever read through the entire book of Nehemiah in the Bible? Well, I hadn’t until tonight. So so good! In reading through Nehemiah tonight I’ve come to realize that lots of the same struggles I, and the world, face day to day is very similar to what they faced in the days Jesus…

February 2021 Winter Storm
WoW! What a hectic few days it’s been in Texas. The power grid can’t handle all this wintery stuff. Rolling outages and so many without power for hours upon hours. It’s not for the lack of people trying to get electricity back on though. Lineman are working around the clock to try and restore what…

Thanksgiving 2020
In light of the year it’s been, this Thanksgiving’s “thankful for’s” could be very different from years past. I know mine is but in everything we are to be thankful. “Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually…

Another Rest
Well I’ve had another rest from blogging, and other stuff, as I’m sure y’all that follow me have noticed. I never know when I will feel good and when I will feel awful due to this chronic pain I live with. Let’s just say that I’ve had more down days than up lately for a…

Broken and Beautiful
Kelly Clarkson sings a song called “Broken and Beautiful” and it is so relatable for me because I feel so broken, most days, these days BUT GOD and loved ones y’all; right!?! I live with lots of chronic pain in my entire body, due to a few medical issues, that causes me to live with…
-
Purpose for Pain
When we take our eyes off Jesus and focus on self, most of this worldly pain is unbearable. We must continue the path that God has us on because only He knows the lessons we are to learn and the many lives that’ll be touched by our obedience to Him. Pain hurts, no matter the…

Heartbroken
I don’t know how I’m suppose to feel but I can tell you how I do feel. A couple of days ago now the news was shared, on a Facebook group that I’m in, about a wreck that took place locally. There were only four comments posted before the comment thread had been turned off…

Happy 24th Anniversary
My husband got me the most beautiful jewelry armoire for our anniversary! I’m so proud of it. He even picked it out himself! The first one was delivered a few days ago but was damaged so had to send it back. Got the second one in today. This box has way more damage than the…

A Testimony of Mine
Yesterday was Father’s Day 2020 and I was alone, as I was on Mother’s Day, and our own son didn’t even acknowledge his Dad just as he hadn’t acknowledged me on Mother’s Day. This was not like him but given the times we are in it wasn’t a shocker either. Being alone is good for…

BIBLE PROPHECY
Ya’ll! Take the time and listen to this. He’s slow to start but WOW what an awesome way to explain what’s happening today! Let us never forget that God is in control and He always will be. So don’t let the ways of how things are changing make it quick to anger. Just breathe, do…

Worship at Home
I woke up this morning with the song “Build My Life” by Housefires in my heart. I don’t know about you but when I wake up with songs in my head like this, I have to listen to it multiple times right then because, to me, I take it as a sign from Holy Spirit…

Happy Place
As I prepared to join my (forever) church home online this morning, I wasn’t even thinking about my “happiest place on earth” and where that might be. Were you? As, my “preacher man”, the Pastor of LBC, Chad Hopkins, began his sermon, he asked everyone one simple question. ‘When you think of happiness, where is…

I have discovered my love for raviolis still exists y’all! So I ordered some of them online, thinking I’d only got a few, for my husband initially. Well little do I realize, until they came in, that I got a box of 24!! WHAT!?! So yea, now having to eat them as to not waste…

Dining Out
Our first official “date night” for 2020 was at a Chilis and man was it delicious! I ate every single bite on my plate and that’s rare for me. We even topped off with a shareable slice of cheesecake! First off let me just say it was so nice to be able to officially “eat…

Dreams
Do you believe that dreams mean something? I know some people that do and some people that don’t. Some dreams are so real sometimes that I’ve woke myself up, more than once, crying real tears. Tonight I had a strange one. It seemed so real during the dreaming time that when I finally woke up,…

Frustrating Day
My morning started off pretty good. My husband and I got up and prepared to head out for the hour and a half trip to see my Rheumatologist but we were quickly halted when my husband found that our water heater had been leaking. Thankfully he seen it before we had a complete mess on…

God Is Good

Relationship
What does one do that feels like they’ve done everything humanly possible to make a relationship work yet it continues to fail? Ya know relationships fail all the time and people just hop on a plane or in a car and leave as to avoid admitting failure and repairing the damage. Let me just say,…

GRANDS
My husband and I are officially grandparents y’all! Our son and daughter in law gave us a beautiful grandson this morning. God could not have made him anymore perfect!

Laid Off
Well it’s been a, some what, rather long five weeks y’all. On February 17th 2020, my husband David was laid off from his job. His lay off had nothing to do with the Coronavirus. He went to work that Monday morning and worked two hours before being told he was being released. I’d like to…

Covid-19
Who else is tired of being quarantined already!?! I’ve had my fill of it too. However, it’s very important to remember that in any and all situations there’s a positive some where but most of the time we have to dig for it to find it. So, here’s my positive. On the bright side, I…

Keyboard Warriors
Isn’t this photo depicting such real truth in today’s society!?! So many people use online platforms to be such “lions” while in reality they are mere “kittens”. It’s comical how many people actually say hateful and mean things while making threats when they are online and hiding behind a keyboard but when met face to…

Rainbow
I captured this rainbow while in Maui y’all. It’s rare that I catch one where I have both ends of one in the same shot. I absolutely love the edit I did and how gorgeous this photo turned out to be. I wanted to share it so many could see it’s beauty.

Deception
“Fake” presentation of yourself and lies, of any kind, are very hurtful and deceitful to those that love you the most. Once you’ve been “busted”, it makes it so difficult for those closest to you to even trust you on the simple things in life. It also puts so much doubt in their minds every…

So I’m in a bible study group and this is the book we are doing our study over. I haven’t been able to keep up by the videos, due to missing for my travels, so I’ve been reading the book as I can to at least be able to engage with the group next time…

Maui Hawaii
Y’all I’m not sure how to describe Maui to those that’s never been here before. No matter where you turn there’s beauty. The sound of the ocean is absolutely mesmerizing to me. I love watching the waves splash against the black lava looking rocks. The sun here feels likes it’s 100 times hotter than the…

Waiting Time
We all experience waiting time when obeying God. If we don’t, we are in control, not The Lord. Waiting time is crucial in our growth. It’s there that we experience the true loyalty period we show God. It’s also where we learn as we grow closer to Him in our walk with Him. Never rush…

Texas Snow Feb 2020
FINALLY parts of Texas got some snow y’all! Not much where I live but just 30 short minutes away, they’ve gotten over 4 inches of snow already. All we’ve gotten is some icy ground, from all of the sleet, and a dusting of snow. That makes me sad. If it’s got to be this cold…

Forgive
Matthew 14-15 NIV is where Jesus himself, as He is teaching His followers, says “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” To fully walk with Christ you must…

My Daddy

My Office
There’s nothing like jamming out to some 80’s music, of all genres, to get me into a cleaning mood. My body don’t keep up with my mind anymore so it takes me longer now to do things I used to could do in no time at all or so it seemed. But I still enjoy…

Fear

Fibromyalgia
Have you ever really in truly thought about what you put into your body? Me neither! Well today I had an awakening, more than before, to pay even more attention to that very thing. I have some health concerns that, to me, aren’t really “concerns” but rather just a daily reminder that I have issues…

Fun Time
Can I just let ya’ll know that as an empty-nester, I don’t get to do the things that I once did with my kids to have fun. I had more fun with my kids as they grew up than I’ve had in a life time of fun not having kids. Well, this weekend, my brother…

Triple Holidays Ending
Today was a busy day, full of un-decorating and reorganizing the now clean area where the tree once stood so pretty and tall, for my husband and I.

Life Lesson
Lowering our expectations of others will lead to less heartache and disappointment. When we have expectations, even if they aren’t to far fetched in our thinking, from people and they don’t do or say what we expect of them, it’s a huge upset isn’t it? I used to be one of the worst about having…

Do They Love Me?
I don’t understand how a person/persons can say “I love you” but act like you’re non existent, for the most part. They show you no concern at all with no remorse when they hurt you, sometimes it feels like the hurt is purposely done. They refuse to even talk with you about things going on…
