Finding Freedom Through Blogging
I have learned that sometimes it is better to pay the full price and get new. Buying a new washer & dryer taught me that sometimes paying full price is worth the cost. Jesus paid full price to make us clean, and we are new creations in Him…. Here is the story of how I learned this: When we moved… Read More
Searching for Self-Help: Lately, I’ve been doing an overall assessment of my life and trying my best to make improvements, stay motivated, and change my thinking. I’ve been reading a lot of what I would call Christian self-help books as well as blog posts from successful bloggers. Chronically, I find myself wondering whether I will ever BE one of those… Read More
Today is the last day of 2016. I think over the past year with bittersweet reflection. As a stay-at home-mom, I consider all of the beautiful moments with my awesome kids and how I must be doing something right with them, because they are so great. I love them with all my heart, and I love spending time with them,… Read More
I’m Still Here: You may have been wondering why it has been so long since I have written a blog post.. I think this is my first bout of “blogger’s block.” Like “writer’s block,” but with a blog. The one year anniversary for this blog came and went, and I had to make a big decision to give up or… Read More

You Rip What You Sew – Unwarranted Confidence: My second set of curtains ever was almost finished. I thought, “Wooohooo, three panels down and one to go.” I held up the panel I was working on and realized I had folded the seam the wrong way and sewed it up. I held up the last panel I had done, same… Read More
Did you ever experience something that just made you feel young and alive? It has been a long time since I have felt anything like that. From the time I was a little child to when I was in my first years of college, I danced. When my favorite song would come on, I would just slam, like go crazy…. Read More
“So I will wake and spend my days loving the One who has raised me up… You’re making all things beautiful.” Lyric by Bethel I’m sitting here listening to worship music, and I’m having a bit of a melt-down. Today is the day following my birthday, and I am having a hard day. Yesterday, I went without my vitamins, ate… Read More
I just got home from church a bit ago and had a bite of lunch (gluten free, dairy free mac and cheese….hmmm not sure if that’s a winner yet). I am looking around my house and noticing one thing – EVERYTHING IS DIRTY!!! The last few weeks have been so busy – run here, run there, that I have not… Read More
