The House I build… little pig style… 

Today I came across the following scripture: “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1 I can’t help but think about the story of the three little pigs. In the story, the big bad wolf was hungry for a nice ham sandwich (forgive my indulgences with… Continue reading The House I build… little pig style…

D is for DEVOTION… oh to be a hummingbird… 

It’s hummingbird season. I have a butterfly bush outside my family room window. I planted it there on purpose because I like to watch the butterflies and hummingbird come and visit the lavender blossoms. These little birds are amazing. Their average weight is 1/8 ounce. Their wings beat between 40 and 80 beats per second.… Continue reading D is for DEVOTION… oh to be a hummingbird…

So many Choices… 

“… I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy… Continue reading So many Choices…

Longing to Be Extraordinary 

My bad attitude is persisting into today. Rats! I was brushing up on some Facebook and catching up on blogs I enjoy reading and suddenly was overcome with a longing to be extraordinary. I see so many people I follow succeeding in their quest to down size and I am not only at a standstill…… Continue reading Longing to Be Extraordinary

Allergic to Change 

As I sat listening to testimonies today the thought came to me that I know what my whole problem has been these past few months. I am allergic to change. Seriously… I sit on the same bench in the same spot every Sunday… I’m pretty sure I consistently bounce back to the same haircut time… Continue reading Allergic to Change

Time for the Fat Lady to SING! 

Maybe I eat too much Mexican food. Is that possible? Mexican food is awesome. Last night my husband and I went to a Mexican restaurant. It’s hard to find wheat/milk/soy free food. Avoiding soy is pretty easy, but avoiding wheat and milk is harder. Everything is smothered in yummy cheeses and sour cream. And most… Continue reading Time for the Fat Lady to SING!

Fresh Paint 

As a kid, I remember organizing M&Ms by color and eating the “best” ones first – usually the brightest ones. To this day, I reach for green, yellow, and red peanut M&Ms first, believing that they’re far superior to all other varieties without really understanding why. Then I read about a study that showed these… Continue reading Fresh Paint

life lessons from baseball 

Yesterday was a road trip. I drove 3 hours to watch a baseball game for a couple hours. My brother and his family live in Australia and my nephew plays for an Australian youth all star team and they came to tour the NW. We only get to see them once every 4 years so… Continue reading life lessons from baseball

Child-like or child-ish… that is the question 

The past two days have been a little stressful. Part of the stress is how one of my children feels about themselves. It breaks my heart to hear words that they don’t deserve happiness or good things to happen to them. Because of these feelings progress is being stalled. It reminds me of ME and… Continue reading Child-like or child-ish… that is the question

D is for DESTINY… 

D is for DESTINY… a predetermined course of events. Winston Churchill once said our destiny is not a matter of chance, it is more a matter of choice. And our destiny isn't something we wait for to happen, it is something to be achieved. Therefore, what I make of my life isn't accidental. It's a… Continue reading D is for DESTINY…
