Resist, We Must Not
The Lord has prevented me from blogging so much because I was doing it for the wrong reasons. Those reasons are the same reasons He asked me to get off social media. So, this blog has been here for the most part untouched while the Lord and I discuss what exactly it is I’m supposed…

I Have A [Not-So Secret] Secret…
I haven’t been able to write about my tattoo because it seemed weird to talk about. Not for any particular reason, but that month that I had issues writing (June), I tried more than once to blog about this and it just never seemed like the right time. I guess that time is now. Back…

It’s Not All The Same
Well-meaning people would say that my issue with the loss of yet another thing that basically defines my adulthood is “the same.” The funny thing about grief is that none of it hits the same. Even how quickly I get to the point of mourning over the loss of a thing is different. I understand…

Updates on My Life
A few days ago, we had to put Foxxy (the dog pictured above, standing on my mom’s front porch) down. She was about 14 and it was just… time to let her go. I had emotionally let Foxxy go a few months ago when her hips started to go out, but for my mom, it…

Priority: A Singular Purpose
Within the last week or so, I learned that the word “priority” was always meant to be a singular word. Because, as the post I read put it, “back when it became a word, there could only be one most important thing at a time.” With social media and just the simple fact that most…

In Conclusion… (Year-End Review)
I’ve been trying to write some kind of a blog since the last time I hit “Publish” however long ago that was… (It seems like forever, but I know I posted at least one blog in December) It helps that it’s now the end of the year and I have something a little more to…

Healing In Grief
Today I went to the memorial service for Steve (pictured above). He had’t been sick for very long, so it was surprising that it happened so fast. He passed away on Monday and I knew immediately that I was going to be at his memorial service once the time was announced. There are other people…

More Thoughts On A Tuesday
When I went to bed last night, I had no intention of writing another post that would put two of them on the same date, but here we are. I have three friends who all have published works:L. Beth Campbell…Heather O’Brien…and of course, my friend Rachel Newhouse that I talk about almost every blog post…

To Obey Is Better Than Keeping Stuff
There I was, minding my own business and cleaning my regular Monday client’s house while listening to a podcast, when all of a sudden I feel the distinct voice of the Lord: “I want you to purge your bedroom.” I had to stop everything for a minute because I was so taken aback by that…

It Can Be Hard Sometimes
Sometimes I forget that I started this blog to hold myself accountable and give other people access to my life to also help hold me accountable. Therefore, this post is a way to talk about the reason I started this blog: quitting social media. As I mentioned a few other times in posts this week…
