Reflection is good for the soul. Especially when it is reflection on how God has worked in your life. Ten years ago today I made my way to the Cincinnati Zoo with a bouncy three year old in the back seat. We were tired; it had been a busy week. But my sweet girl, Taylor, was excited to go to the zoo. I was excited too. The plan was to meet a newly found friend and his daughter; the "date" was … [Read more...] about A Love Story: Repost for Women of Faith
Outside the Zone: Intro Week June 10th
All Christians have a comfort zone. Whether we realize or not, we have these certain areas we are "called" to serve in. We've been "gifted" a particular way, and God does that! But.... truthfully, we use that so many times as a limit on how far we will allow God to work in our lives. If an opportunity arises that is "outside of our comfort zone," then we bypass. There is always someone better … [Read more...] about Outside the Zone: Intro Week June 10th
Mini Piano Lesson

My friend, Heather, often talks about how God works in "themes" in her life. There are times when we've spoken about a string of events, books, messages, etc. and they all have the same point, whatever the point is. Last week, I felt that "point" to be extending grace beyond the surface. A blog about grace, words to a praise song, verses God brought to my attention; they all screamed at me … [Read more...] about True Grace
Calling all Moms to Summer Sanity…
Recently I saw a question posed from Sami Cone: "How do you as a mom transition from school to summer?" My answer was: "Very carefully." I asked my hair stylist just last week to leave a couple gray hairs so that I would have something to pull out that first week school is out. Seriously, I love having my children home from school and I truly enjoy summertime. While we participate in the … [Read more...] about Calling all Moms to Summer Sanity…

Putting the Fat Pants On
Oh, come on. You know we all have them. The fat pants. Definition: The pants you wear when 1. carrying more weight than normal. 2. wanting to eat more than you should. 3. bloating. The list could probably go on. I usually wear the fat pants when I go to my favorite restaurant. Hey, if I'm going to eat good food, I want to get my money's worth! Yesterday a friend and I were discussing the … [Read more...] about Putting the Fat Pants On
