Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

I just got off the phone with my dad and I can’t stand him more than ever. That’s not good to say. I know. I will have to get over this and I will have to forgive him and I will have to move on. But right now I am so upset. He’s so selfish and just defends everything he did (or didn’t do) and …

… how much of a jerk some people can be. As if I don’t have enough going on in my life right now, I have to deal with people who just can’t seem to figure out what most of us learned back in Kindergarten: TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TO TREAT YOU.
But then again, some people also think that it’s their world …

I am starting to feel it… a few months ago, I told a friend that I had tried to make myself not feel anything for so long to avoid being hurt that I got to where I just didn’t feel anything anymore… like I had become numb to emotion… I have really been asking God to restore me in that sense. Because some things, I …

Pentecostal teaching has commonly maintained that the outward sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues. There are many cases where being filled with the Holy Spirit did not result in speaking in tongues. When Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, she spoke a word of blessing to Mary. (Luke 1:41-45) When Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, he prophesied. …

Webster’s Dictionary defines procrastination as “to put off, defer, or postpone to a later time.” A later time.
Who among us actually has a later time? Rather, who among us has the authority to claim that they have a later time? Each day, we consciously and subconsciously decide to put things off “until tomorrow.” In all honesty, this is silly considering that none of us are …

I guess this is one thing blogs are good for. Saying things… getting things off my chest that aren’t necessarily worth saying TO anyone, but feel good just being SAID. Does anybody feel me on that? Sometimes it doesn’t matter if what we want to say is actually said to who we would like to say it to… sometimes, it helps just having said it, …

Yummm… I made 2 pans of dressing, sweet potato casserole, an Oreo creme pie, a Chocolate pie, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, and 2 pans of green bean casserole. I bought a pecan pie because the pecans cost more than the whole pie, but for Christmas I will go ahead and just make a couple of them because nobody ate the …

“And he [Abram] believed in [trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to] the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness [right standing with God].” -Gen 15:6
Spending time with God keeps you stable, steadfast, and calm. God says He “will strengthen and harden you to difficulties” (Isaiah 41:10). When your faith is fed daily by God’s presence, the devil can’t control you, because you …

Many of my posts/writings are in reference to the Word of God.  This post still works along those lines, but with a simple twist… this is about the word of man.  I think today we have gotten so wrapped up in ‘me, me, me’ that we have lost sight of the value of honesty and the importance of keeping your word.  Every day, you hear …
