…busyness is a cancer. It eats away at everything good in our lives. And before we know it. Before we have even recognized the symptoms, the busyness has eaten us almost entirely away. I know because it’s happened to me. It happens to me. My thoughts become so tangled and confused that they run and

She Speaks…the fun part!
Okay, so I gave you the technical side of She Speaks. The lessons learned and the challenges issued. What I did not give you was a report on the fun that was had! To say that I was nervous about attending alone would be the understatement of the year. I was the kind of nervous that
The Proverbial Fork
These tasty little treats have nothing to do with the following post. I just feel like baby biscuits are meant to be shared. You are welcome. Do you every feel like you’re approaching the proverbial fork in the road? Like you haven’t seen it yet, but you know it’s coming. And you haven’t an
Monday
Coffee sipped and this weeks plans discussed with Him. My one request today – that Miss Magnificent’s first birthday and all of it’s festivities wouldn’t pass me by while I frantically try to make everything perfect. Lunch prepared for myself and Miss Magnificent so we can jet out as soon as the morning nap is over.
Lessons Learned in Lonely-ville
I woke up yesterday morning thinking, “Why did I post that?!” Do you have those moments? The ones where you’re feeling slightly crazy, so you do something that you would not normally do? Or you share something that bares your soul a little more than what you’re normally comfortable with? Well, Wednesday night was one
Don’t Leave Jesus in the Manger
Here’s what I’ve heard over and again in my spirit over the past few days – “Don’t leave Jesus in the manger.” I’m pretty sure that is the title of many a 3 point Christmas sermon, but I keep hearing it all the same. It’s Christmas, and I love to think about Jesus the baby.
The Front Lines
I’ve had a lot on my heart and my mind for the past few days – the Holy Spirit is stirring and I’m trying to stay on my toes, ready to learn what He wants to teach me. Here’s a little snippit of what I’ve been learning: In reference to the new life that we

I step out into the thick Louisiana air and just stop to breathe it in. I glance around at the familiar surroundings – the old tree house that I’ve never set foot in because my family didn’t move here until I was in college. Looking at that tree house now, I kinda want to see
What WILL happen…
“…But it wasn’t my fault anyway, was it?” The Lion looked straight into her eyes. “Oh Aslan,” said Lucy. “You don’t mean it was? How could I – I couldn’t have left the others to come up to you alone, how could I? Don’t look at me like that… oh well, I suppose I could.
…To Bind Up the Brokenhearted
Job 6:11 – What strength do I have that I should still have hope? I unlock the door to my empty house and drop my bags – purse, laptop, lunchbox – in their proper spots after yet another long, unfulfilling day of work. I walk into the kitchen to begin another evening of mindless, draining
