Well, it has been almost a year since I have written on this blog and what a year it has been. Life started happening and happening fast and so I decided to take a break from blogging for awhile. I have missed blogging and I find myself writing blog posts in my head and decided [...]

Response to Rant

Posted: August 16, 2009 in Life, Politics

I received an email from a friend about my rant last week. She very kindly disagreed with some of the things that I had to say. I guess you can say we agree to disagree on politics and we rarely discuss them but she felt the need to respond to my post. She gave me [...]

Still My God

It is comforting to know no matter where we are or what is going on in our lives, that God is still God. I have been so strongly reminded of that recently and because of that, there is peace in the midst of the storm. Love this new song by Avalon

I am sitting  in the hospital room of my 85 year old grandmother who suffered two heart attacks on Thursday. They had to go in and put three stints in her artery to open it up. She seems to be doing well at this point, but the thing that really makes me angry is that [...]

This devotion was sent to me in an email recently and I thought it was too good to share. It is difficult to praise God when things are difficult in our lives but that is the time that we need to do it the most. Even in our struggles God is still good to us. [...]

Be Still

Being still is not the easiest thing in the world for me to do. Actually, I am rarely still…..there is always a foot or leg moving even when I am sitting down. I am not a still sleeper either…..I wake up most mornings with the covers halfway off the bed! Needless to say, I am [...]

Never Going Back to Okay

Immmmmmmmmmmm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! I know it has been awhile since I have written a post and in that time, lots of ideas have floated around my head but the energy to actually write something was just not there. Anyway, sometimes we have to fall flat on our face or end up flat on our backs…..in my [...]

Today, exactly one year ago, I began the blogging adventure. I wasn’t sure what I find when I embarked upon this journey but I have to say that I am glad I was along for the ride. I have gotten to know some really awesome people and even had a chance to go to a [...]

Proverbs 18:10 says ” The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe.” So many times though, we choose not to run into that strong tower and we keep fighting until we are wounded and broken. It is so easy in our world to put our best [...]

I Have to Believe

Yesterday we had a great discussion at mandythompson.com about  understanding everything we go through it and whether or not that it has some divine purpose. I realized during this season of my life that I do not have to understand it, I just have to believe. This is a great song that I listen to [...]
