I stumbled upon this quote recently and while I’ve heard it many times, it struck me so strongly. I thought about the irony of how I used to feel so empty. That emptiness caused me to feel useless, lost, hopeless… hollow. I thought I could fill it with things, with people, with activities, with work,

Beautifully Broken
I have a newfound love for the beach so much so it kind of shocks me. I used to think it was just uhh… too sandy and the water was scary (that part hasn’t changed much for me). I may have felt that way because I hated being in a bathing suit, because I had
Revving the Engine.
Does anyone else feel like we’re kind of sitting at a really long red light? Our hands are gripping the steering wheel, we’ve got one foot on the brake and it’s getting tired, the other foot is on the gas pedal revving it a little (or a lot!) and we’re waiting… waiting for the light
On the porch.
I can’t go back and undo the mistakes I made as a mother. I can’t unwind, redo, spend more time, hug more often, be more patient, be more present. I so envy those of you with little ones who have the chance to start today …. if only I could go back. I
Above all things.
Up at 2:30 this morning, I sat here looking at this blank screen like a zombie. I have a list of things I want to write, my mind racing daily, but it’s all felt so irrelevant in the big picture right now. I started praying, asking God what He would want me to type, what
Capturing history. It’s life!
By necessity, we’re all being confined to our own home because of this worldwide pandemic called COVID-19. Trips, large events, church, school, all being cancelled, businesses closing, local businesses crying out for help. Just taking a wedding as a small example, aside from the memories affected, the vendors who are losing thousands of dollars from
What color is your cape?
Some days are so good. Hopefully, a lot of days are good! But let’s face it, other days are complicated, confusing, uncomfortable, painful. Maybe yesterday we made choices that no one understands, that maybe hurt someone, that were… wrong. You don’t do that, right? No, I’m sure you don’t:) Well, I can tell you, I’ve
The Last Prayer?
I wrote this in my Moments with Mama during her 9 year battle with Alzheimers. It was two days after Christmas not knowing we’d just had our last one together. December 27th. I wanted to write this jubilant post about the new year. There are so many things I’m excited about despite the circumstances but
Hope for Our County.
HOPE FOR ALAMANCE COUNTY NEEDS MINISTRY Living Kingdom Minded, not Earthly Minded. When you scroll through the Facebook page, Hope for Alamance County Needs Ministry, you quickly realize the enormity of needs in our county. Many of them are from our own neighbors or just down the street, people who need groceries or maybe just
Yay, Christmas Cards!
Below is a video about an idea I have fallen in love with, just one of those light bulb moments (and mine is often dim!). I thought some of you might love it too especially all my prayer warrior people. The photo to the left is a sneak peek. If you get a moment to
Take 30 seconds…
I’m sharing something I learned from reading Brene Brown years ago and it has always stuck with me. Did I do it every day? No. Do I wish I had? Yes. I hope someone reading this will benefit from it and it’s never too late to start. Many days I come home alone and while

Here we go, new year’s resolution time. Sigh…. do I hear some big deep sighs out there? I heard one in here, I am sure. I simply don’t like those three words, New Year’s Resolution, because when I don’t hit them in January, I tend to give myself permission to say, “Oh well, maybe next
