I love love love this simple quote, here are my thoughts: It’s just me.

First Class Connection

First Class

From the archives and modified… I arrived at the airport to catch an evening flight to Ft. Myers, FL. To my surprise when I checked in, I was seated in 1st Class!  So grateful for upgrades, I LOVE it when that happens! As I walked through the airport I thought… it’s been a LONG week

I’m overwhelmed — I don’t hear you. “I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer. I stand before you, but you don’t even look.” Job 30:20 I ask you to lead me, guide me, show me…what is my next step? You brought me here, to this place. Now what? Why are You silent?

The Pickle Party

This past weekend, I had the privilege of being invited to a ‘pickle party’ as my daughter would say. For many years now, a number of family friends gather at my godmother’s cabin once a summer to can pickles. These aren’t just any pickles, these are Marian’s pickles. I’m telling you, Marian (my godmother) has

Rationalize

Video Game Ratings

Today’s Daily KIP REALLY got my mind racing about areas in my life where I rationalize.  One way that I would describe rationalizing is excuses I make to justify WHY I’m making a decision or WHY I’ve done something that I had ALREADY decided and spoken that I was NOT going to do. Let me

A Part of my Story

Continued from I Haven’t Got a Clue……. When I was WILLING, He was able.  I had no idea what throwing my hands up in the air, surrendering my plans, my will, my ideas, my pride, my motives meant or looked like, but I was cooked – DONE and READY to get off the winding road.
