Jumping In

Okay, so this is it, my first blog post! I am excited, but just because I love to write, doesn’t really mean anyone will want to read what I write. I know, I know, but really, why does anyone start a blog?  Anywho, I have been thinking about blogging for what feels like forever and decided now was the right time to jump in!
The Lord has been doing some important things in my life these days and my main purpose for this blog is to make a record of what He is doing. I am sure from time to time I will share a recipe or a thrifty idea I have found but more than that I hope to show anyone who cares to read that God is real and loves to work in the lives of His children.
We are headed for some changes in our family and I am really excited to see how the Lord is going to provide and take care of us. I will write more about this in my next post, but let’s just suffice it to say, I serve a very BIG God and am so blessed to be HIS!
Hebrews 11:1
"Now FAITH is the substance OF things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

  2. Welcome to blogging! I've been blogging since 2009, and I can tell you it's great! I have two blogs, and I find it's a great way to help spread God's love and encouragement to others. I've received countless e-mails and comments from people who were touched or moved by something they read. Some days I stare at the empty screen and don't have a clue what to write, but God always provides a message. Sometimes it's long; other times it's short, but it's always from the heart. I look forward to keeping up with this blog, and congratulations on your leap of faith. I know how hard it is, but as the old saying goes, "Where God guides, God provides."

It's Real

A week ago today, my youngest son made the most important decision of his young life. He gave his heart and life to Jesus! As a parent, there is no greater joy than to see your child come to Jesus. I know there are some who don’t believe as I do, but I implore you not to stop reading this post. Please just read my account and allow my words to sink into your heart. Friday we decided to go to a campmeeting in NC for its final night to hear an aged man of God preach. I am going to be honest here and confess that I was really tired and considered staying home (thank God I did not). We arrived at the campground and immediately saw our former pastor (where we call our home church), I was so excited as I had not seen him in a quite a while and it was a treat to see him and his dear wife. As it turns out the tent was quite full and we had to sit separate, Jason sat in front of me and the kids with our home pastor and his wife. Throughout the service I recall looking over at Chan...

Thankful Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving

I thought it only appropriate to have a Thankful Thursday on Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for, I love this time of year when we pause and really think of our blessings. So, here is my list, it is a very condensed version but these are the things I am especially thankful for this week! Answered Prayer My Brother My Sister in Law Obedience Family White Lights Blonde Hair Front Loading Washing Machine Mom's Thanksgiving Ham New Traditions Grace Undeserved Forever Friends who Care 3.9% Interest Rate The Bible The Holy Spirit My Life Change (ach, this is a tough one) Here's to hoping you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Fear is a Liar

Lately the nudge to write has grown but I have fought it because I'm not sure what to write. There are things rattling around internally I just don't know which ones to write about. This blog is an outlet for me in so many ways yet I let fear grip me and I stay silent. Fear is a real enemy. Fear can keep us from living, really living.  A situation came up recently where someone I care about said something that hurt. I know it wasn't meant to hurt, but it hurt anyway. Fear kept me silent. Fear kept me from telling this person that their words hurt. Fear brought anxiety. Fear threatened to hurt a strong relationship. I would love to say I eventually confronted this person and told them my heart, but fear won and I have yet to speak the words. Fear has kept me from fighting the insurance company so that I can get the decompression surgery I need. I am afraid of another surgery. Ach, there it is, the truth. I'd rather live in pain then go through another decompression. Fear...
