Last week we had another big snowstorm – hopefully the last one of the year. I always find it interesting how we react to the way others act when the snow comes. We get frustrated when their reactions aren’t the same as ours. The day after the snow, my husband was out shoveling and scraping his…

Choosing to Let Go
One of my best memories was walking the jetty during our trip to Plymouth, MA this summer. To the right is a picture of my hubby standing on the jetty to give you an idea of what it is like. (Note: we are not responsible for the graffiti. 🙂 You see, I am a klutz….
Snow Day…..errr…Days!
Monday was the first big snow storm of the year here in Louisville. As the snow and cold weather has continued, it has been interesting to see the way people’s attitudes have morphed over the last three days. Monday was the first day of the storm. Schools closed. Many businesses dismissed early. Andy got sent…
Overwhelmed
In my last blog post I said that my next several posts were going to be observations from my vacation to Massachusetts with my boyfriend. Well, that was two months ago and I gave you guys a whopping one post about vacation! Epic fail on my part. The problem is that I got overwhelmed …this…
Glimpses of His Glory
The next several posts are going to be thoughts and observations from my recent vacation to Massachusetts. When my boyfriend told me that we were going to leave right after he got off work and drive through the night, I must admit that I thought he was crazy. However, I was like, whatever, he’s in…

Holding Hands
I was babysitting earlier this week. The baby was quite fussy for awhile. Finally he wrapped his little hand around my thumb. He quieted down and I felt his body relax as he exhaled and then drifted off to sleep. There in that moment, there was peace. He found a place of safety and was…
Weeding Our Minds
In my last post I mentioned that I struggle with fear. Fear has ruled my life for a long time. And just when I think that I have it somewhat under control, it rears its ugly head again. It begins with a small thought that usually begins with the phrase “what if”. However, that small…
Learning to Dance
One of the many things that I really like about my church is that we begin worship with the kids and the adults all gathered together. We sing a couple of songs and pray before the kids are dismissed to their class. During the worship songs, several of the girls usually dance in the corner….
Slowing Down
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” Lately I have become aware of how busy my life is. I work, go to school, volunteer and lead children’s ministry at my church in addition to all the other…
