Can you tell your Grandmother?

My rule of thumb for the way I make decisions in my life stems from one little thing…could I tell my grandmother? Not would she like it or would she approve. Simply, would I be able to sit down with her and tell her about it. Would the words even be able to leave my

Wise #40in2020

As I get older I am both more set in may ways and more aware that my way isn’t always the right way. I will never be wise enough. I seek to understand. Asking questions about anything I am wondering. I’d like to know how you feel and what makes you tick. I want to

Proverbs #40in2020

Faith Over Fear

My trust is fully in him.  I have been hurt in the last few months when people post things or comment things about me living in fear.  Not usually me specifically, but people who are currently doing the same as me. I mean, my heart genuinely aches when someone says that if we believe in

Friends for Life

I often take my inspiration for writing from my morning bible lesson. Out of the 3 lessons that I am currently working through, friends was the theme in all of them. Isn’t it crazy when that happens? Reading from 3 different lessons, 3 different parts of the bible and they all have a similar focus.

Distance

Everything in this world is crazy right now. It is confusing, surreal and everyone tries to pretend that they know exactly what the right choice is. Well, I don’t! I do not know what the right choice is. I have been making what I believe are the best decisions for my children and my family,
