Live for the other

I’m a huge believer of “it’s a sign”. I’ve been on a writing slump for well over a month now. And it’s not because I don’t have things to share or write about, I just haven’t had the passion or desire to do so. It’s sad to admit because I’ve had some moments where either… Continue reading Live for the other

The 4:00 a.m. Mommy Alarm

Our daughter is a pretty good sleeper. On a normal day she’s in bed by 8:45p and then wakes up the following day around 7:20a, not bad right? Every once in awhile though she likes to wake up somewhere in the 4am vicinity and does so in such great spirits that you would swear it’s… Continue reading The 4:00 a.m. Mommy Alarm

Hey Pretty Girl

I’ve been sick since Friday night with terrible body aches, chills, and a sore throat. The body aches have finally subsided today (yay!) but my throat remains sore as ever. My glands are definitely swollen and when I opened wide to peek at the back of my mouth, sure enough there was tons of deep… Continue reading Hey Pretty Girl

Your wings

Thursday has been one of my favorite days lately (along with Saturday and Sunday) but Thursdays have their own little special moment for me because it’s my blogging day. The only thing is as much a I would love to write something lengthier, I am feeling so tired right now, all I want to do… Continue reading Your wings

Happiness is…

…Singing my daughter her bedtime song as she rests her head on my left shoulder, then suddenly she lifts herself up just inches from my face and begins to softly “brush” my hair and then tenderly place her hands on my cheeks, then going back to leaning her head on my shoulder. Thank you Lord… Continue reading Happiness is…

Music and My Father

Sometimes I find that I’ve done a pretty good job of reminding my mind to forget certain details about my past, particularly my early childhood. Things that I know are there but that I’ve sort of buried away because I don’t really want to dig up those emotions or because I feel I’ve laid them… Continue reading Music and My Father

An Unsolvable Puzzle

Now that I have a bit of extra time while on break from school I decided it would be good to pick up my book The Meaning of Marriage written by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller and give it the attention and time it deserves. Have any of you read it, or heard of it or Timothy Keller?… Continue reading An Unsolvable Puzzle

A Lesson in Appreciation

Last Sunday my husband woke up at work and could barely get out of bed. It turns out that he had hurt his back again and was in a lot of pain. Neither of us had expected this to happen again, and what I didn’t realize is what a huge lesson in appreciation God was… Continue reading A Lesson in Appreciation

Les Miserables – In My Life/A Heart Full of Love

I am in love with the soundtrack to the musical and the movie Les Miserable. My husband and I have seen the musical twice and a few days ago we had the chance to see the movie and it was a phenomenal experience. There were some things that I didn’t quite catch when we saw… Continue reading Les Miserables – In My Life/A Heart Full of Love

Santa Hustle Run

This post has nothing to do with Santa yet everything to do with love, giving, and believing. A couple weeks ago my husband went for a morning walk with Biggie our bulldog and our baby Celeste. I had the house to myself for a little while and as I made a visit to the restroom with cell… Continue reading Santa Hustle Run
