Thoughts

Do you ever feel stuck?  I do.  Here I am at 11:31 at night, can’t sleep because of the wondering mind.  I just feel like writing and want to share with you. But what if what I put down on paper, or should I say , type on this post, offends someone!  People say, “speak you mind, be honest” Yea, right?  Do they really mean it?  Until you say something about...

Life Happens

Have you ever questioned yourself? I do. Maybe more than I need to. Lately my life has been so upside down that I really don't know what to do. If I tell people what is going on, what will they think? How about the church? Am I not suppose to be the perfect Christian person? Who decides who and what makes a perfect Christian person? And would you believe that when I wrote "christian" the spell...

Moving Forward

Isn’t it amazing at how quickly things can change?  One of the comments that my husband has said in the past is that there is one thing in life that is constant and that is change.  Boy do I believe it!  Let’s see… How many times have I changed my mind, my clothes, jobs, diets, types of shampoo, cars, homes, churches, hair color, purses…and the list could go on.  Some...

Memories

Are memories a good thing or not so good for you? My husband journals every single day, and he sometimes lets me know what happened 10 years ago on this or that particular day. Sometimes it’s not such a good memory and, to tell you the truth, it makes me mad that he brought it back up! So is that suppose to be a good thing? Then there are memories like this that I wrote six years ago. Yes, it...

Hopeful

I have been sitting on this couch staring out the window for almost a month, I haven’t gotten any sleep because of this wonderful, stylish boot that I have to constantly wear, yes, even to bed, and all I can think about is “Be still and know that I am God.” I’ve been through setbacks in the past, brain surgery, hysterectomy, quadruple bypass, severely sprained ankle with fractured...

She’s got Legs and…

Apparently does not know how to use them! 😂 Three weeks ago, a couple of friends and I went to Lake Burton for a day. After seeing how low the lake was, we decided not to do a kinda “Polar Jump”. It was a beautiful, sunny day, a little chilly and windy, but sitting in the sun felt really good. Snacks are a must at the lake and we had plenty of them. Ahhhhh, fresh air, conversation,...

New Beginning

For some reason, today I keep thinking about something that I have not thought about since THAT day.  When I was in the hospital after my accident, someone came to me that evening and asked how did I want my son dressed to be buried the next day!  Right now, I just want to say who cares!  But I remember saying, “Oh, I’ve always wanted him to have a little suit with a...

Autumn

I have been reminiscing today as I look around at the beauty that our God has allowed me to see as I walk on His earth, the earth that He created.  My thoughts have been focused on where I was three years ago today as I went in for quadruple bypass which was so unexpected!  I’ve always thought that I was in pretty good health but one never knows what’s going on in the inside. ...

More than a Second Chance

When I woke up this morning and walked down the hallway to my special place to meet with my Lord. I stopped at the front door and looked out into the darkness outside. My thoughts were on the fact that one year ago today, I was on the operating table having quadruple bypass surgery. Totally unexpected! As I stared into nothing because it was so dark, I was thanking God for giving me yet another...

Questions

Why is it that I ask myself so many questions? Or is it that I am questioning myself? Over the past couple of days, I have had to make some decisions on things that I have said "yes" to. There are bible studies, groups, women's ministry, then there is life, family, work - you get the drift. So the questions I have been asking myself are - Is this something that God wants me to do? Is this...
