Pregnant with Promise
I haven’t actually blogged in a while since I found out after waiting 19 years that I was actually pregnant. Unbelieveable! 13 weeks of being sick with no energy definitely threw off my schedule. Now I’m already 71/2 months pregnant and I am overwhelmed with the promise of God. No matter how we try to figure things out, He performs his word on His timing which is always perfect.

Oh Yeah, It's My Birthday....Here We Go....
Okay, my birthday just kicked off 17 minutes ago. For the record, I love everyone’s birthdays except mine. Either way, here goes another year. A very special person told me that good things happen on birthdays with “9’s” on the end, so I’m trying hard to focus on that.
Truthfully, age is all about who you are and how you feel. In other words, I refuse to let age...
It's Just Time
Just sitting here enjoying a great night of R & R with my beautiful daughter. It’s amazing how little we take the time to just exist. For me, I actually feel a little guilty if I’m not “doing something”. Why is that? Resting, spending time with someone without an agenda is very therapeutic. God intends for us to just hang out with the wonderful people He put in our...

God is Not Just an Ingredient
Last night I had so much fun at our girls night out, Pursuit 31! It was such a humbling honor to speak to some of the most beautiful and amazing girls in Pensacola. One of the things that most affected me was reminding myself that God is not just an ingredient in my life. He is not what I need a little more of or a little less, when it’s convenient for me. He is the one who has...

Home Away From Home
Well, I haven’t written a blog in a while. Life seems to take over and blogging is not always high on the list, but tonight, I have a worthy topic. I am in Panama, beautiful country and beautiful people. I have to admit, life has been so crazy that I wasn’t sure I should or would come on this trip. But I have to say as soon as I landed, it has been great! I have treated...

Waiting...Waiting...
There’s nothing quite like learning to wait on God. It’s so frustrating to feel like you are just waiting. I don’t like waiting for much of anything. I don’t like waiting at stoplights, I don’t like waiting in the drive-thru line, I even don’t like waiting in line at Disneyworld (yes, it’s true). When we think about the word wait, it has several...
Be Genuine
You know as a girl, diamonds are definitely one of my very favorite things, if the diamond is the “real thing”, that is. 18 years ago, when my husband proposed, he gave me a beautiful diamond ring. When I went to get the ring sized and re-mounted, can you imagine how I might have reacted if the jeweler had told me the diamond in my ring was fake? To think that something so valuable...

Reality is...
Reality is not usually where we choose to hang out. We either get hit in the face with it or we are simply doing life and find ourselves right in the middle of it. Either way living in “Fantasy Land” is much more appealing than reality any day. If you know me at all, you know I am a serious Disney Fanatic. When you enter the world of Disney…all reality disappears. There is no...
Just Be YOU!
As I anticipate our Pursuit 31 meeting tonight, I am overwhelmed by knowing that God loves women, right where we are. We don’t have to pretend to be anything or do anything to seek God’s approval, He just absolutely loves us. We can come to him just as we are, no masks, no pre-conceived ideas, no unrealistic expectations. Isn’t that amazing! Today, focus on being just who you...
