Who’s tired? Raise your hand. Why are we so tired?  Yes, we run in a million directions.  Yes, we have practices, work, family gatherings, school functions.  Yes, maybe we run on little sleep and a lot of caffeine.  But be honest, if you had today off, wouldn’t you still be tired tomorrow? Wouldn’t your mind… Continue reading Are you Tired?

What If I Died Tomorrow? Sometimes events remind us how short life really is; and I start to think about this question. Not because I think I’m going to, or because I’m worried that it could happen, but because I want to make sure I’ve done my best with the time I’ve been given.   I… Continue reading What If I Died Tomorrow?

I play the piano at our church. One Sunday, due to some issues with one of our projector screens, our music director had to stand in the back of the church to direct the music. This worked out great for the congregation because they could see him directing, but since the piano is in the… Continue reading Who Directs Your Music?

At church tonight, I taught a group of sweet little boys about God taking our sins and putting them behind His back. Isaiah 38:17 They understood that when something was behind their back, they could no longer see it.  God’s power is truly revealed in this verse.  Sometimes we do bad things; maybe terrible things.… Continue reading Forgiveness Like No Other

Sundays are hard.  I’ve always said it. And it’s true.  But like the song says, “The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows,” I believe the same can be said about church.  The longer I serve Him, the sweeter going to church grows. I’m not as worried about how I look.  I’m not as… Continue reading Church, The Sweeter It Grows

Isn’t it funny how so often, when we’re trying to teach our kids a lesson, they teach us one too? I realized last night, while teaching some very precious children at church, that we don’t have to have the perfect words when we pray. We don’t always have to know what we need to pray… Continue reading Faith Like A Child

It’s time to stop comparing. We have to stop comparing ourselves to one another.  We have to stop looking at that person over there and wishing we were more like them.  We have to stop trying to look or act like others because we think that’s what will make us happy.  We have to stop. … Continue reading It’s Time To Stop Comparing

Well, it’s here. The beginning of a new school year... And my attitude is just awful.  I hate the start of school. I always dread it for many reasons.  I like my kids at home with me.  I like not having a set bedtime.  I like not having homework.  I like not getting up early… Continue reading Attitude Adjustment

The newness of you.  The baby smell.  Not wanting to put you down.  The feedings in the night, and afterwards, you falling fast asleep on my shoulder.  Thank you Lord for this season.  I don’t want it to end.  Trying new foods.  Hearing you say, “Mama.” Watching you take your first steps.  Reading your favorite… Continue reading Thank You Lord For This Season

“Mom, isn’t a parent’s main responsibility to make sure their kids are always happy?”   This was the question my little girl asked me as she was getting ready for bed.  I told her that parents love to see their kids happy, but that wasn’t their main responsibility.  I told her that my main responsibility as… Continue reading Sweet Girl, I Won’t Always Make You Happy
