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 ...

How To Change the World

For those who are unaware, Saddleback church was created by Rick Warren using his amazing church model, which is wrote about in his book Purpose Driven Church which now is an official ministry of Saddleback Church and actually has its ...

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 ...

My Girls :)

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

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 ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

Tell Your Mama I Love Her

This morning, my husband got off work and came home and got the girls ready for church and sent them on the van. He came in our bedroom where I was sleeping and woke me up so we could watch church on television. Toward the end, I went in the kitchen to make some sweet rolls. I heard him calling me so I sent Tre …

Way Too Much Sex

I look around today and I see a society full of people who have become convinced that sex is just as casual as conversation. When I was younger, it wasn’t much different but I suppose as a parent my perspective has changed and it is disappointing. My mom never really talked about sex to me at all. Most of what I knew about sex I …

My Kids Make Life So Much Harder & Yet So Much Easier

Every parent has their get-out-of-my-face-before-I-reconsider-my-no-to-adoption moments when it comes to their children. With five children under the age of ten, I routinely ask my husband, “Can’t we just, like, put an ad in the Classifieds?” It would read: Free to good home – 5 rambunctious kiddos, no-so-clean, but very entertaining; they’ve been de-wormed (for the most part) and all have had their shots. But of …

Condoms/Birth Control for Teens??

I’m sure everyone knows where I stand as far as my beliefs as I am a Christian, actively involved in ministry – with FOUR daughters and a son! (haha) But BELIEVING in a certain way doesn’t necessarily mean that is how reality is going to present itself through the lives of your children. I don’t think there is a "right" or "wrong" answer in regards …

My son ran inside today with a gash in his leg and said, “I hurt my leg climbing out of the tree.” My mind immediately took me into my recollection of all the times we – my husband and I – have both told our son NOT to climb the tree. After making sure he was okay, I heard myself tell my son, “You would …

I just really wanted to say that. :) Besides God and my children, I don’t think I have ever loved anyone quite this much. There are different kinds of love that you experience in life… I am so thankful that I got a shot at experiencing THIS one. He’s so perfect for me. He’s so special to me. He’s … well, he’s Barry. And that …

This came from a VERY LONG instant messenger session with a close friend- I simply cut out all her input and turned mine into paragraph form- some very good points in here so I decided to post them here in my journal… 
The more you tried to not bring things up, the less he started wanting to talk about things so now that you want to talk things out, …

It is always the little things that matter the most… the way you glance at a person, the way you smile, any simple gesture can mean the world. A friendship, an initial impression, a relationship, even a marriage- it’s always the small things that a person remembers, and those are the things that are impressed upon their hearts.
In the same sense, it’s also the small things …

If you do not realize your own worth, DO NOT expect for others to realize it for you. If you have not found your personal happiness within yourself, you WILL NOT find it within another person.
