In light of all the issues I'm having lately, I've decided to try something new by way of something old. I know that God is asking me to put more trust in Him right now than ever before. Admittedly, I don't like it because it means I have work to do. I can be a hard worker, but for the most part, when given a choice, I choose laziness. I'll choose ( Read more... )

I know this will sound funny to some people, but my cat is an absolute blessing from God. I mean, I took Midnight in as a stray on Easter weekend in 2005 so it's hard to miss the significance of that as far as I'm concerned. Midnight is quite possibly the sweetest animal on the planet. He loves to cuddle, loves for me to carry him around and cradle ( Read more... )

I am very grateful that God blessed me with Christian parents. They're not perfect by any means, but I am so glad I grew up in a household where knowing the Lord and Jesus were a priority. I look at my cousins and see how differently things can go when you don't grow up with two practicing Christian parents. I don't want to know how I would've ( Read more... )

So Mike Huckabee was at my church this morning ... yes, presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. He wasn't there to speak, only to be prayed over by the church. See, our pastor wrote and sent letters to each presidential candidate inviting him/her to visit our church if they were in the area, but only to be prayed over by the church, not to speak.

I just told my sister a lie, but it's for a good cause. :-) Last month, when I asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she said jokingly, "An iPod nano." Well, being the fabulous sister that I am, I decided I would get it for her. Today, though, I called and told her that as much as I wanted to get her the iPod nano, it was too expensive for my ( Read more... )

Way back in the day, as a 5-year-old kid, I remember asking an older girl what she'd asked Santa for for Christmas. I'd say this girl was like 10 or 11 years old. She said, "A keyboard." The 5-year-old me didn't know how to respond. How could any girl NOT want a Barbie or a Cabbage Patch doll?? I asked my mom about it and she said, "When you get ( Read more... )

To balance the melancholy/whiny thoughts I've posted recently, here are two good things that have happened to me over the last two days ( Read more... )

So I started doing laundry tonight; I hadn't done it in a little over a week. Imagine my surprise when I went to put the first load in the dryer only to find the dryer full ... of wet towels! I do not remember washing a load of towels recently, though obviously I did. Neither do I remember putting wet towels in the dryer AND NOT TURNING IT ON ( Read more... )

The first thing I noticed when I walked in my front door tonight was a candle burning! Doh, I'd forgotten to blow it out when I left for work. Thankfully, it was a Glade jar candle, so I didn't burn down the place.

And points to anyone who knew the subject line was the title of a Point of Grace song :-)
