Show Genuine Interest

Among the many things that I enjoy doing with my husband, one of my favorites and top of the list is going to church together. We’ve been going to Parkcrest Christian Church together since 2006 (a few months after we started dating) and it’s a connection we share that has become a very important part of… Continue reading Show Genuine Interest

“The Me I Want To Be”

Not too long ago I wrote in a post that there are so many blessings in my life that I’m thankful to God for and also that I had this feeling there is something more that God created me to be but I haven’t quite figured it all out yet because it’s a growing process.

Enjoying Silence

I was thinking the other day how programmed we are to the different noises around us.

Faith

Today is an unusual day for me.  I’ve been sitting here looking at the screen not knowing what to write even though my heart is filled with so many feelings and my mind is wrestling with countless thoughts.  But then suddenly I feel at peace and calm.  I don’t know what to make of it.  I… Continue reading Faith
