Thankful Thursday…coming soon

Mar 18, 2010 | Faith

Saw This and Smiled……..

Mar 17, 2010 | Faith

I was looking through pictures for a few minutes and ran across this one.  I probably shared it a long time ago, but I just had to share it again.. This, to me, is what Heaven will be like. Families reunited. Joy that makes you jump. Smiles that don’t hold back....

A Simple Slipper………..

Mar 15, 2010 | Faith

As I walked through the Goodwill store in Lexington on Saturday (a favorite place for me and my friend to go together), I happened upon a stuffed animal that I’m guessing is some sort of special pillow but looks like a GIGANTIC SLIPPER.   I put it on the floor...

Thankful for the Psalms………………………….

Mar 13, 2010 | Faith

Psalm 39:2-3But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased. My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:When I ponder these verses, I feel as if David somehow could read my mind...

Thankful Thursday (Part II)..on Friday (oops!)

Mar 12, 2010 | Faith

Rewriting Your Story…(Thankful Thursday Part I)

Mar 11, 2010 | Faith

Last night I had the chance to catch up with one of my dear, dear friends who moved so far from here that “visits” are impossible except over the phone.  Her son and Nick were big, big buddies from the time they were seven, so we share lots of special...

When God Wants to Speak, You Can’t Stop Him…..

Mar 10, 2010 | Faith

Monday, I took a risk. I actually drove to an area elementary school for my first real job interview since Nick passed away.  I already have a part-time job at another school, but when I received a call from another principal with an opportunity to work part-time on...

Allowing God to Use You……..

God Must Have a Sense of Humor….

Mar 6, 2010 | Faith

Remember the literature fair project I mentioned a couple of days ago?  The one that consumed our week and the one that God used to remind me that I need to grow up and make a daily “choice” to choose joy. Here’s some pictures from our work:   And...
