Keeping the Faith 2008-05-29 11:24:29 My family and I are going through a very difficult time right now. It is a private matter, but I can tell you it is one of those situations that takes over your thoughts. A smile is no longer just a smile, but an attempt to cover the pain.
My husband is my best friend, a good [...] Read more:Faith
Cold and Activated 2008-05-29 00:22:17 My brother is here from Alabama. He arrived late Friday night, just in time for a weekend filled with activities such as a dance recital, soccer practice and a baseball game. Today, he got to witness the aftermath of Jacob’s dentist appointment which was a jolly good time with Jacob coming home with one less tooth [...]
Turning it Around 2008-05-28 14:37:17 So far today:
I have broken a nail.
I was pulled over by a cop.
I have sneezed a thousand and three times.
I have lost a shoe.
Thankfully:
I will go get my nails done.
I didn’t get a ticket.
I have a huge supply of Kleenex.
I like to go barefoot.
I’m learning to turn things around and lean on God…not myself.
As [...]

I Am Just a Person. 2008-05-31 11:45:56 Everyone is still sleeping.
My coffee is no longer hot, but that’s okay. In a few minutes, I will head downstairs, pour another cup and sip in silence.
I will wonder and marvel of all the things that have yet come to be; but I’ll know it will work out in His due time.
Isn’t God amazing?
I want to thank [...]
Where He Met Me 2008-06-02 13:03:32 Heather from Desperately Seeking Sanity is hosting a carnival for us to share our stories on how we came to know God. I’ve touched a little of my story here, but I’ve rarely gone into great detail on this site.
God has been touching my heart to tell my story publicly, but for many reasons, I’ve [...]
Sunbeams and Things 2008-06-01 17:29:55 This morning, I woke up sneezing. My eyes swollen and red, I made my way to the bathroom and let out a little yelp when I saw my image in the mirror. Trying to look at the good side of things, I ignored the swollen nose and blood-shot eyes due to allergies and concentrated on [...]
And Then I Ate An Entire Box of Fruit Loops 2008-06-03 14:20:30 One of the most challenging aspects of coaching an all girls soccer team is the non stop talking. Granted, these girls are only four and five years old and it is in their nature to talk. I love to talk and I’m in my thirties. Yet, for the entire hour of practice, these girls never [...] Read more:Fruit

Oh If There Had Been A Yes 2008-06-05 11:46:23 Date night with the husband.
The husband and I are at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I’m sipping a margarita…on the rocks with salt…Patron tequila, only. He’s guzzling his beer. And munching on the free nachos.
Romance at its finest.
“I’d like to see a movie,” I say, casually brushing his hand with my fingers.
“Oh yeah? What movie would that be?&

Stuff and Then Free Stuff. Because I Like Stuff. 2008-06-06 11:30:07 One of my favorite bloggers posted this meme and because I’m procrastinating in tackling projects all with a deadline of 5pm…I thought what better time than to play with fonts and colors and stuff.
Yeah. I just ended a sentence with stuff.
RELUCTANT about starting this mass load of work piled on my desk.

Saturday Thoughts, Announcements, and Jazz 2008-06-07 10:40:48 I don’t live by what I feel.
I don’t live by what I’m going through.

Be Still 2008-06-10 13:21:41 Today I had to make a not-so- fun phone call.
You know the one. The one in which you replay over and over in your mind the night before, so much so that you begin to think you have already done it. Like, HA! I did it! That went well. Too well. I’m glad that’s over!

I Decided… 2008-06-11 20:35:05 …to stop believing in my feelings more than I believe in the Word of God.
Jehovah-Jireh is my Provider and when I receive a revelation, Satan can’t take it away.

I was lead to Romans 7:15 after a grueling afternoon that left me emotionally depleted. I first read the scripture in my King James Bible and I couldn’t grasp it. It [...]
Because the Internet Won’t Tell 2008-06-12 22:19:51 “Hello?”
“Ian?”
“Yes. It’s Ian. Did you call my phone expecting someone else?”
“No.”
“Okay. So why is it everytime you call me you say my name like a question? Like it won’t be me.”

Eden Asks, “When Are We Going, Mama Mia, Chicka Pia?” We All Marvel About Her Poetic Talent. 2008-06-14 15:12:51 Eden walked in our bedroom to announce that she doesn’t like Angelin anymore. Her reason being that Angelin keeps making “mad faces” at her.
And she doesn’t like it.
Now imagine a four year old saying this with cherub cheeks, big blue eyes and a slight Brooklyn accent with double the attitude.

Have You Seen My Socks? Seriously. 2008-06-19 14:23:36 Despite the title, this entry isn’t about socks.
I know. You are probably curled up in a fetal position right now crying in agony that you can’t read a blog post about my socks.

My husband and I sent our kids to Gramma’s overnight to celebrate our anniversary.
While it is weird to have the house “kid free”, it’s been nice to have some alone time with my husband. Last night, we had dinner at a restaurant we’ve never been [...]
