My Ten Minutes: The Guilt

Yesterday I walked through the day, just putting one foot in front of the other. I had this pit in my stomach that hasn’t gone away, I ate about 2 bites of food and just drifted through the day.  The only other time I remember feeling like this was when I was going through my

Ten Minutes: Yesterday…

Yesterday morning at 9am I heard a scream come out of my 5 year old that I had never heard before.  My husband and I were still laying in bed, but I went flying down the stairs.  Blood was just gushing down Noah’s head.  I immediately scooped him in my arms, cradled him like a

Ten Minutes: Enneagram Personality Type

I have been writing a lot lately about how much I LOVE Annie F. Downs.  Well, I do, I don’t know how I lived before 2018 without even hearing about her.  She reminds me a lot of myself only she sounds like she doesn’t ever get angry or mad. Anyway, that couldn’t be further from

Ten Minutes: Letting Go

First of all, last night, right before I went to bed I prayed to God that he would give me a sign that letting go is the right thing. In my head it is and every time I think about it, I know it would be so good, but something in me just isn’t quite

Ten Minutes: Hold On

“You and I just have to be brave enough to hold on, even when our struggles feel like more than our hands can handle.”  Annie F. Downs “Don’t give up on life.  Don’t give up on God. Don’t give up on yourself.  Hold on to hope, love.”  Annie F. Downs I am going to keep

Ten Minutes: Grace in the Waiting

For months I have been thinking on something.  Patiently praying and living while I wait.  Trusting in God that he has a plan.  That he is going to let me know exactly when and how it is meant to happen. Another another note, sometime around Thanksgiving I started seriously thinking about getting a second dog. 

Ten Minutes: My Favorite Day

Every other Thursday I have a playgroup for work at a local library. Typically I am working from home the rest of the day. The Thursdays I have the playgroup also happen to be the day before pay day. Well earlier in 2018, I stopped in Tim Hortons on my way to the playgroup. Still

Ten Minute: See How It Changes

The charge in my devotional today is to do something.  Make a small decision, an e-mail, a meal or a conversation.  One little thing and see how it changes your life. I mean that sounds pretty intense right?  How many people make a million little decisions every single day and then don’t ever reflect back

Ten Minutes: Change Always Happens

Change always happens, this was the topic of my devotion reading today.  Yes, Yes I know change always happens.  Am I good at it?  Umm…that would be a no!  Am I getting slightly better at it, yes, but it seems to be at a snails pace. Change to me is like domino’s.  One thing changes

Ten Minutes: Breaking Up With Friends

I wrote about this 2 1/2 years ago.  So, I will post that post right here for you: Losing Friends Because of Life Losing that group of friends was seriously one of the hardest things I have ever been through in my entire life.  Even though, now nearly 6 years later I know that everything
