Have you ever heard, “You are the thermostat of your home”? Nick sends up extra praises that my actual body temperature isn’t the measuring stick for the air flow in our house. My body always feels warm but I am always a little chilled. That is why, even in the middle of a Florida summer,…
My family is 54 days into our Floridian “shelter-in-place” life. What’s your count? Have you lost count? I think today is Wednesday. And when did May happen? Years before this pandemic, God began to whisper a calling into our hearts. One that looked oddly different than the life we were chasing. We were glorifying busy….
Is that … can it be… do we see the light at the end of the tunnel? Now, I know this may be premature for most. But my home state, Georgia, is beta testing this re-opening apparently. Thanks, I guess? Regardless of your thoughts on when it’s best to unlock this lockdown, your time is…
I’d be lying if I said I haven’t contemplated this question. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed to ponder it. Have you? By no means am I an expert in the end times/Revelations/Eschatology (fancy word for the study, or theology, of the final events in history). But I am a curious…
I knew I’d regret being silent during this time. For years, I had much to say about a lot of things… parenting, health & fitness, autism, community, bible studies, etc. Then like a light switch, I lost my voice. Still to this day, I am not sure whether it was me who buried it or…
If there is one picture that could summarize what 2019 felt like… it’s this one. I’d like to call it, “What the crap just happened?!” 🤣 God has rescued me a thousand times this year. FIRST QUARTER, I continued school battles for Leland that left me wounded and depressed. SECOND QUARTER, I began swallowing the truth…
What are you hoarding that belongs to God? I’ve been wrestling with God lately. If you’ve followed our past few blogs, you likely will pick up my tone. I know no other way to live than to walk in transparency as God shines light on my issues. Yesterday morning I woke up and followed…
When you feel like you just can’t win… It’s not lost on me that losing sucks. I tend to be an eternal optimist (to my husband’s despise) and don’t get too worked up if my team loses. If you are a football fan like us, you know the next several months will the chased with buffalo…
Are you on track to be a Paul or Demas? There are two kinds of people in this world, the Pauls and the Demas’. You may be more familiar with Paul, the apostle who wrote most of the New Testament. However, we learn a great deal about Demas in 2 Timothy 4. This book was among Paul’s…
Do you judge other parents to make yourself feel better? This is a tough question. In the spirit of back-to-school transitions, it’s important to catch yourself before you accidentally pick someone apart. God wants us to have a love fast and live slow attitude even with adjacent parents. Can I share a personal story? Of course! Thanks! …
