• Late last week I was struggling with remembering a password on a document at work.  It was one of those situations where I created the document and the password could not be reset without deleting the document.  I knew exactly what I had intended the password to be, so the only thought in my mind […]

  • The first year of our marriage had humble beginnings. My husband picked up his whole life, leaving a business behind, to live in a new city with me while I was training for my career.  It wasn’t easy for him to leave the home he always knew. Being apart from parents and close friends, we […]

  • Our kitchen trash reached max capacity. So my son (who shall remain nameless to protect his identity), being the responsible guy that he is, tied up the trash bag and took it out.

I had no intention of speeding, but that didn’t matter.  The officer had evidence. The time I spent sitting in my car as the officer reviewed my […]

  • The “enemy” comes at us in many different ways. Fear, dread, anxiety, depression, opposition. I know we’re only two months into 2019, but I’ve already experienced days in which the enemy is a little too close for comfort. But God. Numbers 10:9 “When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who […]

  • Have you ever felt like you were the default? Yes, you got the job, promotion, or opportunity but was it because they really wanted you to have it?  Or because the person they actually chose couldn’t, wouldn’t or just didn’t want to take it? Sure, it’s yours…but it kinda feels like a half-win at best. […]

  • Last week I shared the emotions I was experiencing as I said goodbye to old furniture in the post “Out With the Old”. I literally spent the entire day feeling sad and being withdrawn. The next morning I awoke to the call of the delivery person who was on his way. Suddenly, I found myself […]
