This morning I went to a bible study. We read the book of Galatians. A few verses popped out at me. There is a scripture verse about walking in the Spirit. How do you walk in the Spirit? I think that you have to wake up and pray that God fills you with the Holy… Continue reading Walking in the Spirit

Smile and Laugh To Lighten Your Heart and Mood
Today, I was reminded not to take myself so seriously. I usually feel like I am in a spiritual battle in my own world. Everything is intense and can change with the wind. This afternoon, I went to a doctor's appointment. The people that I encountered were delightful. We all have messy lives, full of… Continue reading Smile and Laugh To Lighten Your Heart and Mood
I don’t want to be the person that says, “I will not walk in it.”
Have you ever wondered how you got to where you are right now? I am so thankful that God has answered so many of my prayers. I have a great husband and two great kids. Sometimes, I still feel anxious. Actually, I feel that way often. Am I afraid that God is going to take… Continue reading I don’t want to be the person that says, “I will not walk in it.”
Give Cheerfully
I have to admit that I do not always give cheerfully. When I am exhausted, and my kids ask me to do one more thing, I don't always smile and do it. Have you ever been there? You are emotionally drained, and yet others still need you? It is hard to give, when you feel… Continue reading Give Cheerfully

The Virginia Governor has been in the news this weekend for some very terrible reasons. I am so sad that Virginia voted for him and voted out a good… Continue reading Each of Us Is Like a Puzzle Piece
Doing a Bit Extra

I had to stop, cancel appointments and change my plans, because my daughter needed me more than my 'to do list' did. So, before and after we saw… Continue reading Doing a Bit Extra
Change Can Be Beautiful
Today, I was looking at the beautiful golden, orange and red leaves falling off the tree and scattered on the grass and sidewalk. Fall foliage is beautiful. I thought about how amazing God is to create such beauty through change. The leaves fall off, so new leaves can grow in the Spring, after a season… Continue reading Change Can Be Beautiful
Purpose
My daughter started school full time this Fall. I left my job three years ago, to be a stay at home mom. I do not regret my decision for a minute. When I went to the parent teacher conferences last week, I was so happy to hear good reports. After three years, my kids are… Continue reading Purpose
No Grumbles Here, Please
My kids often grumble before dinner, "Aww, mom, I set the table last night, do I have to do it again?" Yes. Yes, you do. We all have to do things we don't like. They are not the only ones. When I see the trash piling up, I grumble inside my head too, do I… Continue reading No Grumbles Here, Please
