Back when I started blogging about 1-1/2 years ago, I wrote a post called Up & Down and Up & Down. Basically it’s a synopsis of one of my “roller-coasters of life,” when again I found myself sitting back and saying: I just don’t get it – why, why, and why… In that post, it … More Fighting The “It’s Not Fair” Syndrome
So my friends – what’s your testimony? Don’t say “I really don’t have one,” because you do! All Christians have a testimony – a time when God picked you up out of the mud and mire; or strengthened you when you were feeling beat upon by someone. Easter was drawing near in 2006, and one … More Shakin’ & Quakin’ – But For God, It’s Worth It
In my last post Pursuing Your Field Of Dreams, I wrote about how God does want to give you the desires of your hearts. But how do you feel when He doesn’t? Contentment is a huge issue, isn’t it? I’ve written a lot in previous posts about my emotions, and how a lot of times … More Being Content No Matter What

Or do you just assume you know what a person means and then just go with it? Because after all, you know your assumption must be right! My husband Gary … More But, I Didn’t Mean That!
Tap, tap, tap… What? God, I’m really busy right now – got a lot on my mind. Knock, knock, knock… Okay, okay, Lord, what was it again that you wanted to tell me? Say what? Well, maybe I’ll do that later, but not now – too embarrassing! Have you heard that knocking in your heart? … More Getting Baptized – For Real This Time!
Ah, today is Easter. A day when we watch bunnies hopping around, and see kids laugh and giggle as they go and hunt for brightly-colored eggs. Families get together to eat a wonderful meal, and then perhaps they play games together, or go for a walk around the neighborhood. Easter means springtime is officially here! … More To Hop, Or Not To Hop?
I try hard – I mean really hard – to keep my mouth shut when I’m invited to sit in on any sort of leadership meeting, but sometimes I just can’t! Sometimes I feel like I’m going to just burst out of my chair, and despite how much I’m praying to maintain calmness, I just … More When Ya Gotta Talk, Ya Gotta Talk
Well it’s certainly interesting how our minds work, isn’t it? Of course I’m positive that you all think just like me, so I’m lumping you into this too. And, after reading through this post, if you truly don’t ever struggle with this same thing – please give me lessons on how you’ve been so successful! … More Keep Believing – Don’t Give Up!
