Family – Fearless and Joyful

There You Are

When it feels like I’m losing every friend I’ve got When I don’t know who I am, and who I’m not When I start to let the world’s cares push me down When it seems that no one else wants me around There you are. When my chest feels tight and I can barely breathe… Continue reading There You Are

HAAR Gala 2023

Saturday evening was our annual gala for our local REALTOR®️ association. I know I don’t talk about real estate much on here, but it is a pretty big part of my life. Most of my work is behind the computer, but it is so much fun to get dressed up and go out with everyone… Continue reading HAAR Gala 2023

What About Him?

This time of year, everywhere you look you see nativity scenes. Hear those Bible stories from the beginnings of Matthew and Luke. Songs on the radio like “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and “Mary, Did You Know?” Praise and wonder for Mary, the mother of Jesus. You know who often gets overlooked when we talk… Continue reading What About Him?

Boy Brag

This is gonna be a short one. I just wanted to take a minute to brag on these two fine fellas. If you read my last post, you will know that several of our youth were in an awful accident Wednesday evening. We gave Tyler and Troy the option to go to the hospital with… Continue reading Boy Brag

Church is Family

I want to tell you a little about my church family. Last night, we pulled up to the church building, and as we were walking in, our friend (and one of the ministers) Daniel was walking out. He corralled us and let us know that several of the youth had been in a bad car… Continue reading Church is Family

My Joyful Grace

This sweet angel turned 8 today. It’s hard to believe my baby isn’t a baby anymore. I only have “big kids” now. It doesn’t seem that long ago she looked like these pictures. I love that happy face! This child has so much joy in her heart, and it just spills out of her. She… Continue reading My Joyful Grace

Loving Father

Loving Father, Almighty Creator No other love sweeter, No other strength greater No shoulders as mighty, No touch is a tender As those of our Comforter and our Defender What artistic genius and imagination Who gave us the sunshine and precipitation Our jury and judge, but He paid our bail, too So that one day… Continue reading Loving Father

Train Them Up

My friend and I were talking one morning about how hard it seems to reads children in this age. The access they have to worldliness at such young ages. Friends with games and social media and videos that I don’t necessarily approve of. And it’s not even something that I can point out, “This is… Continue reading Train Them Up

Skipped my Lou

So I posted on Facebook about my oldest daughter’s birthday, but I dropped the ball on making a post here. I could come up with a lot of excuses. But I won’t. I will just tell you a couple of weeks late how wonderful she is. This sweet baby was born on September 2, 12… Continue reading Skipped my Lou

Fluttering

Remember when I talked about the butterfly in my logo? It’s a dual representation of metamorphosis and the butterfly effect. Making changes to better yourself, and at the same time hopefully have a positive effect on what is going on around you. It’s time for another shift. You know how you’re bebopping along in life… Continue reading Fluttering
