Crossing into Fall
Here in Houston we live for October 1st because it means we have crossed the threshold from summer to fall. We put pumpkins on our front porch while we enjoy cold mornings and fading summer afternoons. This is the gateway to every children's favorite holiday... Halloween! Will you be trick or treating this year? Leave… Continue reading Crossing into Fall
Pain
There is no question that divorce is painful. It's the pulling apart of two souls. I look at my soon to be ex-husband and I'm sad. I mourn over the loss of future memories. I mourn over the pain I have felt the last seventeen years. I wonder why some people are blessed with amazing… Continue reading Pain

Remembering
Dear Grandma, It's been a year since you moved to Heaven. A year without a phone call, the sound of your laugh, talking politics, or sharing family news. By now, you've walked with Jesus and sang with the angels. You've talked to Noah and discussed life with Peter. Have you moved into your mansion yet?… Continue reading Remembering
2018: Expect
In the beginning, I had so many mixed feelings over my word for 2018. EXPECT. When I prayed for what my word would be this year, I had several thoughts about what would work. I actually prayed and told God what I thought my word should be, but instead of rejoicing I only received an… Continue reading 2018: Expect
Year in Review
I started the year with the word, FORWARD. After much prayer, I felt like that was the word God gave me and I embraced it anxious to see how God would use it. For years, I had worked on a story by re-writing it several times. It was the story of my heart. I was… Continue reading Year in Review
