I’m going to let you in on my big, bad, dark secret… I’m a bad pray-er. I don’t want to be a bad pray-er…I really, really want to be a prayer warrior. It’s just that I’m not good at it and I didn’t really know what to do to get better. I have tried to various [...]
So, as usual, when I get really stressed busy, I tend to either get crazy or move inward into myself. Since my last post, apparently I’ve been doing both. Things are continuing to move on. We have been extremely busy staying busy doing all the things busy people do: work, work-out, hanging out with the family, [...]
So when you’re not looking, life just moves along. Mine mostly seems to be going in circles while I’m waiting for my husband to return to from Korea. Every week I get up every morning at 7:00 a.m., get ready for work, go to work, work all day, come home from work, do laundry, do [...]

I love it when I’m driving along on the interstate and see wildflowers. They are only there for a brief time during the spring (and probably are what causes all these allergies), but I love them. Every time I see them I just thank God for sending me these beautiful flowers. They are all different [...]
So there I was, in Montgomery, Alabama of all places, just miserable as could be. My mom had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and my whole family was devastated. And I had to start a new school AGAIN since I was starting high school. I had maybe one friend and I was very lonely. I [...]
I was recently remembering how it felt to fall in love. I know what you are thinking right now….”oh no, not a mushy, I-Love-My-Husband post!” And it isn’t really… It is actually the story of how God worked in two unbeliever’s lives to bring them together and bring them to the point we are at [...]
