Life happens, work happens, swollen feet happen and goals get tossed in the wind. I have typed up three pages of my journals…from 2016. It has surprised me to see that some of the issues I was dealing with then are some of the same issues I seem to be struggling with today. Life is… Continue reading Got off track ~

Day 8 ~ 31 Days of Writing
I read the Writing Prompt for today and started laughing…why you ask? Because my focus for the last day and a half has been on me! Yesterday I had a dentist appointment to get a tooth pulled ~ definitely not something fun but a necessity. My appointment was for 2:00 and I was done by… Continue reading Day 8 ~ 31 Days of Writing
Day 7 ~ 31 Days of Writing
Ouchie!!! Oh how this hits so close to home. I have been reminded a lot lately that I am quick to extend Grace and Mercy to others but not so much to myself. Ouchie!!! After a difficult day today I am reminded that I can only do what I can do…not what others say or… Continue reading Day 7 ~ 31 Days of Writing
Day 6 ~ 31 Days of Writing Prompts
Taking a leap of faith ~ how this goes along with the Daily Bible Verse that hit’s my email each day. Today it was Faith & Trust seem to go hand in hand.

Day 5 ~ 31 Days of Writing
Oooh…a very hard one for me. I don’t know if it’s because I am getting older and don’t want to be involved in drama but I find I more often than not just don’t say anything. Especially on Facebook! Why you ask? Because it seems more and more people just want to argue and don’t… Continue reading Day 5 ~ 31 Days of Writing
Conversations about Being in Ministry
Today has been an interesting day for me. On three different occasions I was able to share about our job here in Southport, being Home Parents at an Emergency Teen Shelter. Each person/couple I was talking with gave us such praise for the work we do and each time I found myself saying “no, it’s… Continue reading Conversations about Being in Ministry

Day 3 ~ 31 Days of Writing Prompts
This prompt was so on target for me today. I have been in a funk the past few days and like I mentioned yesterday I am the first one to compare myself to others or think I am not good enough. I heard it often as a child that “you are not good enough” “you… Continue reading Day 3 ~ 31 Days of Writing Prompts
Day 2 ~ 31 Days of Writing ~ 5 Things I Love
Five things I enjoy doing: spending time with my hubby writing walking at the beach sending cards to friends crocheting One thing I enjoy about my life right now is that I not only live with my hubby of 45 years but we also work together as home parents (foster parents sort of). We are… Continue reading Day 2 ~ 31 Days of Writing ~ 5 Things I Love
Day 1 of 31 Days of Writing Prompts
Trying again to get back into the habit of writing every day ~ so here’s to Day 1! Tough question as I find I compare so many things in my day to day life.
