Welcome 2019
As we begin this new year, I can’t help but to be thankful that the chapter of my life called 2018 is over! I am ready for the God-filled pages of 2019 to begin. I don’t know yet what is in store, but I have faith that He will be with me every step of…

Thanksgiving and Choosing Joy
In my year of choosing joy, it seems like things have been constantly put in my path to bring me down or cause me to struggle with my faith. Of course, with the loses I have suffered this year, I am allowed sadness, but God wouldn’t want me to be sad all the time. He…

The Chair
Today, it has been 6 months since my mom passed away. Sometimes it feels like another lifetime and other times it feel like it was just yesterday. Life is different now. There has been so much going on and I miss being able to talk to her. It is funny how you miss the little…

A Child of God on a Journey to Find Joy
The last few months, I have been focused on trying to find joy. Joy isn’t something you just go pick up at the store. It isn’t something I can go find at the lost and found somewhere. Our Joy is in Christ. I don’t think I have “lost” my joy, I think it is just…

Still Working On Finding Joy
After 10 days off of work, I must return tomorrow. I work with some pretty awesome people but having to return to wearing regular clothes and not tank tops and shorts is a bummer…oh and there isn’t a beach outside the window…bummer #2. I’m thankful for the time to get some rest and relax. Y’all…

Finding Joy
I haven’t posted a new blog in a while. I have written several but then I felt like they were too depressing. I started this blog to just show a day in the life of…well me. A Christ follower, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. In order to do that, I need to be open…

He Heals The Brokenhearted
When it comes to people who are close to passing, I have found that people handle things different ways. None of them are wrong because we are all different. I think for some it depends on the relationship you have with the person, how close you were with the person, and how your personality fits…

No, I’m not the same…I’m still grieving
It’s only been a little over 5 weeks since my mom passed away. In some ways it feels like it just happened and other times it seems so long ago. I’m not sure why that is. I don’t know if it is because she had been in and out of the hospital since August and…

GriefShare
Since my mom passed away, my dad and myself and 2 of my other siblings (the other 2 live out of state) have been going to a grief counseling class. I have to say this was a different concept for me, but I wanted to go to support my dad. I knew since it was…
