Fitting
I was getting ready for lunch with a friend. When I looked through my clothes to find something to wear, I realized none of them fit me anymore. Not like they are the wrong size, although some are, but they don’t fit ME. They fit who I have been for years. The casual, blend into…

“Are You Happy?”
“You post all this sad stuff.Are you ever happy?Do you ever laugh?” LOL Um, yes, to both, a lot. You can ask my website designer for my photography page I have fuzzy slippers, and I am not afraid to use them. 😁 Being serious, sorry I am literally laughing out loud at the irony, I…

God Scares Me
This is a Facebook pos from March 11, 2020, but at least for me, it is still very pertinent. I’m going to be real about something, and it may be controversial to some, but… God scares me. Not usually a terrified because He is holy and I’m so very not, although that has had its…

Talking about Grief
I talk about grief fairly regularly. Not as much as I used to because I feel like I keep saying the same things and people don’t need to hear them again, AND I really prefer joy. LOL But I talk about grief because when my kids and I went through our massive life change in…

Pleasing Words and Thoughts
A friend of mine and I share verses each morning and share our thoughts on them and how we see them apply to our lives. This morning he shared Psalm 19:14: Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in they sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.…

Do you ever feel that way? Like you are beginning again…for the kazillionth time? My mathematical brain describes it as: (Beginning again) to the Nth degree. I admit I tend to find that thought deflating and often defeating. I mean, I’ve tried this, whatever “this” is, before…several times…and failed. What in the world makes me…

What You See Changes Things
It’s okay not to have great plans for next year. It’s okay not to step into January 1st with a list of resolutions that are going to change your life and the world. Can I offer you a suggestion for a simple goal that might not change the whole world but really will change your…

Defined by God, Not Humans
Yesterday on my Facebook page I shared a meme about the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional or abusive home on the ability to make decisions, even small ones. With that meme, I also shared two things I have personally used to overcome decision paralysis because it is a very common struggle for folks.…

Strategic Chaos
God will put us in blessed places.That doesn’t mean they are always easy.Sometimes a blessed place is a hard place or a chaotic place.It also doesn’t mean blessed places are for us to get something that feels good to us.It means there is something about us that needs to be put into that messy situation…

Really, the Holidays are Happy
I have considered deleting my post from yesterday about the holidays and being tired of grief because, once again, I evidently didn’t communicate well. The point that I was trying to make is that holidays for a lot of people come with all the emotions, and I know people who are stuck in their grief…
