Jesus Take The Wheel
Raging storms and attacks have once again entered my life. It became apparent to me instantly that Satan was on the attack and I had two choices. Surrender to the attacks, or remain strong in my faith and trust in my precious Savior, Jesus Christ. A few days ago my oldest son (20) was hit…
Beautiful Things
About a year and a half ago, my husband and boys began construction in our house. Construction in my work space! The room in which I spent most of my time had began to shrink in size as I grew my business. It quickly began to ‘get smaller and smaller’ as the years passed. Not…
Meet Me Where I am Lord
My heart is heavy today. Heavy. It all started as I was on Facebook this morning checking out the latest news from my friends! Most of the time it’s a great diversion or escape for me. Today, I was smacked in the face with reality. With heartache. With sadness. I saw a comment that a…
Faith †
I frequently get asked, mainly by people who don’t know me, ‘HOW are you handling this’? My answer always, in one word…faith. But what does that mean really? What does faith really mean?

Simple, Beautiful, Sweet Joy!
Lately I’ve been longing for the simple days of the past. The kind of days when all four of my babies were just that, babies. Babies that giggled. Babies that knew no fear or hurt or pain. Babies that were content in just exploring within the walls of our home. Life in those days seemed…
My Heart ♥
In my last blog post New Beginnings, I talked about how I was going to take with me all that is beautiful, all that is precious from 2013. Leave the rest behind. Let me tell you, it does take some effort. It requires me to consciously make the choice to find joy and to be able…
New Beginnings
I don’t know about you but I’ve never been into making New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve always been one to implement a change or new concept whenever one is needed. Why wait for the New Year to make a resolution??? ☺ But, I do understand the feeling of the ‘fresh’ start that seems to go hand…
True Meaning of Christmas
Every year I experience the same feelings and they usually start surfacing even as early as September. It’s these feelings of sadness and dread for what lies ahead in the coming months. I’m talking about all the hype and commercialism that surrounds Christmas. The true meaning of Christmas gets lost with all the buying advertisements,…
Sunshine and Birds
Several years ago my cousin came to spend a week or so with us. He was around five at the time. It was SO much fun having a little one around again. Our days were spent stepping over piles of Legos and Matchbox cars. And what fun would there be without building a Brio train…
Gifts
This morning my oldest daughter left for New York City! She and 9 of her college classmates were invited to perform one of their dance pieces at the Joyce Theater. So exciting!! This is an incredible accomplishment and huge honor! They will be performing a dance that was choreographed by one of the founders of…
