If ever there was a quote for this picture it would be that. For the last week and a half, I have been unwell. On top of daily headaches, several of which have turned into migraines, I had a chronic fatigue syndrome flare-up which triggered a spiral into depression and left me battling some major… Continue reading “Holy Spirit, Activate”

Midnight Musings
Ok ... it's not really midnight but I'm not staying up that late to post this and I'm so tired it might as well be midnight. So there's that. I was thinking through my day and the last few weeks ... and I was overwhelmed in a good way. It just dawned on me that when… Continue reading Midnight Musings
Single in the Church
When I was a little girl, I had two baby dolls and they were named “Darlin’ and Sweet Darlin’”. They were my babies. If you asked me what I was going to be when I grew up I would have probably told you either a mama or a singer. Then on some days… Continue reading Single in the Church
Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
In honor of Dr. Billy Graham's 98th birthday today, I am sharing the prayer/poem that his wife Ruth Bell Graham wrote in her teens about the man she hoped to marry someday. The Man I Prayed For Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we’re inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
Season of Thanks: A Letter
To Whom It May Concern: Ha ... that's a little formal sounding coming from me but I did something different this time and decided to write to you, my dear husband, on my blog versus in the journal that has been set aside for your eyes only. (And I am saving my special term of… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Letter
Lady Edith and I
"Where one story ends another begins." I knew something was coming as I could sense I would be sharing this story for several weeks now but I couldn't imagine how I would be telling it nor how I was to be this open with everyone, therefore, I chose to keep my mouth shut and not… Continue reading Lady Edith and I
So Hacked
A week ago Friday I received an email from Christian Mingle, letting me know that my profile update had been approved. I thought that was funny as I hadn’t submitted any changes to my profile. I figured that was their attempt at getting me back on the site as I had been pretty MIA that… Continue reading So Hacked
It Is What It Is
"It is what it is." This is one of my most favorite statements to proclaim when things are not going my way, seem to be spiraling out of control or my presupposed plan has to be completely altered. It simply is what it is. You've just got to roll with the punches and go with the flow. I've… Continue reading It Is What It Is
Trust the Process
“Trust the process. God hasn’t brought you this far to suck the wind out of your sails.” These were the words I tapped out in a quick reply text to a friend a few weeks ago as she begged me for prayers over a situation that she was guaranteed wouldn’t be a problem. I wasn’t… Continue reading Trust the Process
Not Now Mingle
I pretty much have come to the conclusion that I am screwed up. Ha! Well, I mean we all are in some way or another but having never really dated I don’t know how to relax and just enjoy the process. I question everything I say and do and figure it’s probably the wrong thing anyway.… Continue reading Not Now Mingle
