Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #39 and a tribute to a dear friend

Today, October 30^th, is a bittersweet day for my family and I. One year ago today my husband lost his best friend and our children lost their god-father, Gary Ward Crawford, after only a three month battle with cancer. He left behind a wife and three beautiful children ages 5, 8 and 16. Cancer is a devastating disease that affects more people now than ever before and I.hate.it.with.a.passion!! Today is bitter because this day a year ago the world lost

Mastering YOU Monday...who's lovin' you?

In our quest to mastering ourselves and mastering life, we must learn to master our relationships with others!  

I have come to the conclusion that issues women have with other women and people in general for that matter, can be solved immediately.  How you ask? By following these two commandments…first: love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul, second: love your neighbors as yourself. Easy peasy right…hah, if only it could be!  We sometimes trip over that last one. Why? Because many of us do just that…we love our neighbors just as we love ourselves…we DON’T!  We treat others just like we treat ourselves…we beat each other up with our mouths(like we do ourselves),

Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #38 and something totally "new"

Hey ALL…Happy HUMP Day!! I’ve got an idea that I want to run by everyone. So tell me what you think?

I don’t know about you all, but I’m finding myself not being able to get to all the blogs that I love to read. So I thought to myself…”self, how can I solve this problem”? You know me, I didn’t want it to just be myself who benefits from the solution...I wanted to include all my friends! So I was thinking about starting a FB group for us bloggers! I know, I know…been there, done that! And I'm sure some of us belong to a few…but I don’t know about you, I just seem to get lost in those “big” groups and I’ve found that people just don’t play fair, which is one of my major “pet peeves”! 

How ugly can you get...my story!

I asked a question last week for Mastering YOU Monday…are you willing to be “ugly” for one day in order to be “beautiful”  in Him for a lifetime?  You can read that post HERE. This week I’m bringing to you Part 2!

 My post from last week dealt with us giving of ourselves to help others. This week I’ll deal with us giving of ourselves, to help ourselves. How you ask do we help ourselves by giving of ourselves…so He can use us for His glory! I know, totally opposite from last week, huh?  In essence though, this still applies to the question…how many of us are willing to die to our flesh to be in a position to be used greatly by Him? I promise, I’m going somewhere with this y’all!

Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #37 and some co-hosting

What day is it? Hump Daaaaaayyy! Welcome everyone to another Doing YOU WELL Wednesday! Hope you all are doing yourselves "fantabulously well"! Not too much going on here in the Pulliam household - it feels good to be able to wind down a little. So, I guess my "doing you well" for this week is that I get to chill-ax for a change! :-) 

Did you all know that October is "Pastor's Appreciation Month"? So please make sure you tell/show your pastor how much you appreciate them!

Mastering YOU Monday...how ugly can you get?

Happy Monday everyone!! Question…are you willing to be ugly for one day in order to be beautiful in Him for a lifetime? I owe a big THANKS to my husband for giving me the title for this one…thanks darlin’! ;-) You see we were talking last week about making changes and he posed this question and of course my wheels got to spinning. So I ask the question, how many of us are willing to die to our flesh to be in a position to be used greatly by Him?

God loves us, but don’t get it twisted, He doesn't care

Mastering YOU Monday...time for a check-up ladies!

As my husband would say, “gettin’ rid of our stinkin’ thinkin’”! This week, I’ll be laying the foundation and giving you the background of why I started this series.

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that “Doing YOU WELL” is my mantra, my catch phrase and my tagline. Some of you may ask, what exactly is this chick talking
