The Purification Process…

by
Today is Day 15 of my 21 day cleanse/detoxification/purification process. To be honest, I never imagined that I’d make it this far. Last time I tried this, I made it to Day 5 and was a blithering idiot! I cried all day long and finally decided that this journey was not right for me. Come…

All Things Possible…

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26 NIV) How many times have you heard this scripture in a moment of difficulty or desperation? How many times have you shared this scripture with someone in a moment of needing to encourage them? How many times have you repeated it…

Just Another Day…
2012 is quickly coming to an end. Can’t say I’m too disappointed. I know that tomorrow is just another day on the calender. Nothing magical happens. It really is just another day. The idea that one year is ending and a new one is beginning offers a chance to create a change; a shift of…

It’s The Little Things…
When big things happen they quickly change us. The recent tragedy in CT… devastating… even to those of us clear across the country. Innocent lives lost in a senseless, horrific way. It seems as if it’s the big things that leave an impression and get us talking. Sometimes we are so busy waiting for, or…

The Wonders of His Love…
How do I view my life – the good, the bad, and the ugly? Through my own lens, which is influenced by the world and all of the negativity it holds… or through the eyes and heart of our Savior? This year, I am struggling with that joy and anticipation of the holidays. Our family…

The Clash of the Seasons…
Our maple trees are beautiful! They’ve been growing since 1919… oh, the stories they could tell! In the spring as they begin to bud, they bring a sense of hope and renewal for things new and fresh! As they days get warmer, the leaves get larger. Summer is their time to provide shade and protection.…

Cat Herding 101
I love cats! I’ve always loved cats! I’ve always thought I had “that cat way.” You know, when you enter a room, the cats don’t run, but come to you because they sense you are a “cat person?” I seem to have a way with cats! They like me… I like them. Recently, I became…

Life is…
Life is challenging. Life is difficult. Life is hard. Life happens. In the midst of struggles we long for calm. We long for moments of peace and the ability to forget. We wonder what we have done to get to this place. How can things seem so out of control and crazy? We get wound…

The Journey…
We are all on a journey… each being different. At times our journey takes us to beautiful places… mountain tops! Sometimes our journey may be on the flatland… steady, long, flat roads with not much excitement. The hardest part of our journey is when we are in the middle of the wilderness… dry and dusty. …

Indifference…
Indifference is the trait of seeming not to care or lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things. I have a certain 12 year old boy in my life who is seemingly indifferent to me. Most of his interactions with me have a “whatever” flair to them and he doesn’t really engage with me until it…
