I'm assuming we've all heard the saying "tom-A-toe tom-ah-toe" before. Where two people say the same word differently but in the end, the way it is said changes nothing about the object itself. In our world today we have many different cultures and in those cultures you're finding more and more diversity being accepted. I … Continue reading Embrace the difference

Just a little pick-me-up
Admit it
When's the last time you got real with God? I was talking to Him today and I said, you know what, I'm sorry my prayer life has been lacking (and by this I mean like my prayer closet time with Him). I said, you know, I could sit here and name all kinds of excuses … Continue reading Admit it

Why does it mean so much to hear someone encourage us? On the other hand, why does it hurt so bad when someone does the opposite and discourages us? I'm going to speak from personal experience here so I am by no means saying I have out figured out. When I was being lead to … Continue reading 3 Hours

(If you say go, I'm not gonna wait. If you say move, I won't hesitate.) It's in my heart for this … Continue reading You may never know
This seems small…
I am constantly learning things from our children. I find that while teaching them how to handle life's uncertainties, I also find healing myself. If I can take their scenerio and find something similar in my life to apply it to; I will, and I do... often. Our morning got off to a rocky start. … Continue reading This seems small…
Stick on love

An example might be that you see a women at the store with children and no father walking with them; and you automatically place … Continue reading Stick on love
Gift the Gift
I had an opportunity to serve at an event that regularly sets up box trucks and goes to one of the dangerous counties in the state and feeds, clothes, encourages, and shows the love of Jesus to them. I caught myself standing back just watching everyone and I found myself with a constant smile on … Continue reading Gift the Gift

What kind of impact are you making? While traveling, we needed to switch towns, so we checked out of our hotel. Now for us to check out is a task in itself because it's us and four children plus homeschool gear and cots plus all of our daily needs. We usually have a huge cooler … Continue reading You never know
