Our Daughter's Day

our daughter's wedding
WOW! You can say I’m coming down from what some may call a “wedding high”! So amazed at the goodness of the Lord! He literally stopped the rain so that our daughter could have the outside wedding she dreamed of; even though the weatherman predicted there would be a 50% chance of rain (He’s faithful like that, you know)! ;-)  He taught me so much about His love for us; in how He maneuvered the clouds so that we could have the perfect overcast from the sun for the 7:00pm ceremony on the terrace of the EdVenture Children's Museum, to how He stopped

The Backlash of Bitterness!


dealing with unhappiness
Bitterness is an awful pill to swallow, believe me…been there, done that! It can grow from many things; if life keeps giving us blow after blow after blow, or we could just hate our present situation so much that we allow our unhappiness to grow into bitterness, sometimes, it may be as simple as us allowing something or someone to occupy our thoughts. Whatever the reasons… bitterness can manifest itself in many ways. We can retreat to what comes naturally… letting it get in our hearts, allowing it to simmer and then lashing out; all while our poor, unsuspecting victims have NO IDEA it is headed their way! Or, we can take it in, let it seethe

The Balancing Act!


balancing our lives
Why does it always seem as if we as women are the only creatures on this earth who have to learn the fine art of…walking that thin line of trying to get it right, but not going overboard? For some of us, the most used word in our vocabulary is “UGGHHH”! The late Mrs. Margaret Hicks said it best when she said, “In this day we are more challenged than ever before to be godly women who are strong, but not overbearing; wise, but not arrogant; courageous, but not insolent; confident, but not defiant”. Some of you may say…” that’s easier said than done”, but it CAN be done; IF you do it God’s way! ;-)) When we try our best to do the right thing, but get told, that in fact it wasn’t

I Give Up...Ugghhh!



dealing with frustration“I GIVE UP”…the perfect place to be!! You’re probably saying to yourself…WHAT?! Yep…just where God wants us! My husband has a saying that goes like this – "don’t fret, don’t worry and don’t try to make anything happen". In other words, if it’s not working out - DON’T get worked up about it…go back to the drawing board ladies! Do you know how many times we’ve gotten frustrated and discombobulated because OUR plans didn’t go the way we wanted them to go – albeit, not once

Don't trip!!

handling our emotions

Ladies, why do we let people get under our skin? Better yet, why do we allow the enemy to get the best of us? When this happens, nine times out of ten, we tell the ENTIRE world…unfortunately, more than likely, that exposure comes by way of us broadcasting our lives through social media, i.e. (FB, Twitter, blogs, etc). When we do this our hearts get exposed, opening up the door for condemnation to set in; and that’s exactly where the enemy wants us! Psalm 119:165 says “great peace have those that love Your law (Word), and NOTHING causes them to stumble”, in other words “NOTHING shall cause you to fall down, blunder OR trip, IF you heed to and keep in your heart, God’s Word”.  With that being said, nothing or no one should
