Need…that’s right. I said it. Need is a word we do not like to say. I mean need in the true sense. “I need to go to the grocery store,” or “I need a pedicure.” This is not the use of the word I am referring. I am referring to the necessity of aContinue reading “A four letter word…”

today…
Today, we go back to the doctor for the first time since January 4. January 4th was not a good day for me–it was the day I hit the wall. Since then, we have taken a break from counting days and ovulation and giving shots and going to the stinking doctor more times thanContinue reading “today…”
I’m on a diet…
So, I feel at times that I am such a drama queen with angst filled posts. On a day where I feel particularly weak and melancholy, I am going to post about something not so deep–Diet Coke. I do not remember when my love affair with Diet Coke began. I, like many ofContinue reading “I’m on a diet…”
Nothing…really
I have had an epiphany as of late. I am completely clueless and powerless to run my life–marriage, ministry, fertility, relationships, leadership, etc. You may be saying, “duh!” However, do not all of us have this false sense of control from time to time? We think we have it covered…oh yeah, I have doneContinue reading “Nothing…really”
Ready, Set, Go
Setting my heart, setting my hope, setting mind…These have been words and phrases that I have been fighting to dwell on in the last few days. These phrases come from 2 Corinthians 4-6 and 2 Corinthians 1:10 and 1 Timothy 1:7. These have been some frustrating days for Greg and me. His Rheumatoid Arthritis hasContinue reading “Ready, Set, Go”
Wait a minute…
Wait. We use that word frequently in our days. “Wait til your Father gets home!” “I can’t wait until vacation–it’s going to be great.” “There will be a 4 hour wait today because the doctor had some emergencies (i.e. had a long enjoyable lunch).” “How long will I have to wait for Mr. Right? Mr.Continue reading “Wait a minute…”
Reminders of His Grace and Love
This has been a sad morning. Sadness has creeped back into my heart and taken hold this morning. Sadness, that chasm that I did not want to be a part of–that friend in which I wanted to be estranged–it is here. It is easy to run from that dull ache of pain, but sadness canContinue reading “Reminders of His Grace and Love”
A brief feel of home…
Life does not happen like you think it will. False expectations we hold are crushed, and we learn what it really means to live. Sometimes we allow those crushed expectations to define us–sometimes we counter them with the truth of Christ and find a greater hope in the midst. Is that not what our livesContinue reading “A brief feel of home…”
35 and counting
Well, here we are…or rather here I am. Today is the day I turn 35. I awoke with a heavy heart this morning. A heavy heart for friends who are hurting to the core of who they are, a baby who is fighting for her life, even pets of friends who are very sick. TheContinue reading “35 and counting”
One
Last night, I came together as a part of our church body and participated in the Good Friday service. Greg spoke and talked about the 7 last words Jesus said on the cross. As a congregation, we sang about the gospel and participated in confession and repentance as we took the Lord’s Supper. When IContinue reading “One”
