Living with a Thankful Heart Every Day

Thanksgiving just passed, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! My family and I traveled to my parents house, and it was a wonderful time! It was nowhere near relaxing, but spending the time with my family, busy or not, is always a great time! I hope you all experienced the same joy from the holiday! Thanksgiving has always been one…

Having Patience

If you ask my husband what is one word to describe me the best, I’m pretty sure that word wouldn’t be patient. Not that he would ever mean that in a mean way, but my patience runs very, very low. I’ve always been a person who wanted fast results. I hate waiting for things to arrive, and I hate when things take so long….

Weight Loss Journey

This isn’t a typical post that I would go for, because it’s something very personal to me, and something that I’m quite sensitive about. However, I decided this might be one way for me to stay accountable on this journey. I figured, why not bring you guys along on it? This will not turn into a wellness blog, or anything like that, but I…

Relying on the Promises of God: Part Two

Welcome back, friends! I know that once again; it has taken me a bit of time to get out another post. But any parents know how difficult it can be with kids! Thankfully, the Lord has given me the strength I need to push through, and the ability to sit down and write to you all! I wanted to get the part two of…

Being Strong in the Lord!

I know that I’m supposed to go on with Part 2 of Relying on the Promises of God, but I wrote this one instead. Part 2 will be next! I believe that sometimes we’re meant to go through some challenges in order to help others. This week has been a tough week for myself and my family. Our middle daughter spiked a very high…

Relying on the promises of God: Part One

My friends, I would like to first say that I’m so sorry for taking so long to post another blog! Life has been hectic with school, sick kids, church activities, and physical therapy! The time just slipped away from me, and here we are, two weeks later, and I am finally writing something else! Thank you all for your patience! What is a promise?…

learning to love to pray out loud

I’ve always hated public speaking. I’ve never enjoyed the idea of getting up in front of a group of people and talking about something. Being the “center of attention” terrifies me, and it’s not something that I would immediately volunteer to do. I’m like Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries! Okay, I’ve never gotten so nervous that I run out and throw up, but…

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Does that quote sound familiar? We all know that this is a quote from the Disney movie Snow White. The Evil Queen has a magic mirror and asks it every day who is the fairest of them all. Every day the mirror says that she is, except one day when it told her…

Trust in the Lord…

Hello my friends! I wanted to start out by apologizing for taking so long to write a new post. Life had suddenly got very overwhelming. There were a lot of things we needed to work through and had to figure it all out. However, I definitely learned a lot of amazing lessons that I am excited to share with you all! One of the…
