Wednesdays are one my most favorite days. I usually begin my day by stopping at a place called the Iron Bell. It is a beautiful place where you can go to pray and spend time with the Lord. I grab a seat and listen to the music with my Bible and journal waiting to see what the…

My Heart’s Desire
Let me preface this post by saying that I believe God’s word to be true…all of it. That being said, some verses are difficult. We wrestle with them and try to understand what they mean for our lives. Sometimes we figure it out out and other times we are left wondering. The verse that I…
PSA for the Ladies
Today I want to break away from my normal topics of choice to write about something a little lighter but very important. This post is a public service announcement for all my ladies out there. It has to do with lingerie. You know, those pretty, sexy little things made out of lace and satin. They look so…
Winter and Grief
The weather can be very unpredictable in Louisville. The changing of the seasons has a tendency to sneak up on you. One day you are wearing flip flops. The next day you step outside and your toes feel like they have icicles forming on them. It’s two weeks before Christmas and last weekend the temperature…
Waiting
My husband had a procedure done earlier this week, so I had to wait in the waiting room while it was being done. I have spent more time than I care to recall in waiting rooms and I often joke that I earned my master’s degree there. I am only half kidding when I say that. I…
Even if He Does Not
In the midst of struggles it can be difficult to remain faithful. Our lives can be filled with wonderful things, but our vision becomes clouded keeping us from seeing and enjoying those things in hard times. I am currently stuck in that place right now. I have let my heart and mind get so focused on those…
Freedom
I just finished the book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott. I read the book for the instructions on writing part, but I fell in love with the insights on life that are woven throughout the book. I would recommend it to my writer and non-writer friends alike. One thing that…
Aftershocks
I was going to write about something else today, but I changed my mind. That’s one of the great things about writing a blog. You can write about whatever you want. I am going to share something that I haven’t shared with many people. For a long time, I blamed myself for my first husband’s…
Nothing is Impossible with God …even at 40.
I am turning 40 in just 9 short days! I never considered 40 old before hubby and I got married and started trying to get pregnant. Even then, I didn’t feel it was old. But then something changed. A friend of mine who turned 40 last year went to a fertility specialist. She shared with me…
Mistakes are OK?!
I just finished reading The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I had never heard of this book before my husband told me about it. It is one of his favorite books, so I decided to read it. It is a fantasy book about a little boy named Milo who is bored with his life. One…
