  • Stacy

    Last year while living in Columbia, I had the great privilege of attending a Bible study led by Stacy, a very Godly woman in my church.  What I loved most about the way that she taught was seeing the genuineness and realness of her relationship with the Lord.  He really was living and present in every aspect…

  • The little ones

    Today’s blog is a little different.  Since our blog is centered around conversations of faith and life, we felt compelled to pay tribute to all the little ones who have lost their lives in the last 40 years since Roe v Wade, over 50 million of them. We sympathize with women in hard, hard places…

  • What a day for the nation!

    It’s here, the one day  every four years that we swear  a President into office for four years.  I gotta tell you, I feel a lump in my throat when I see such an exuberant, joyful, majestic and regal event bringing the nation together.  There are few countries where such an event like this can take place…

  • The Perfect Day(s)

    In my 30 years, I can say with confidence that I’ve lived two perfect days.  One was the day I married my best friend and the other was a day that I spent in Charleston, SC with my sister.  They were two totally different days, but both were perfect in their own unique ways. My…

  • I think I’m an addict

    These days I find myself online a lot, and when I say a lot I mean A LOT!  With wifi from cell phones, I can be plugged in 24-7.  My husband says I have an IV hookup to the internet. What started as a habit has over time become, dare I say it, maybe even…

  • Set on Repeat

    Do you ever wake up and just lay in bed running over and over in your mind the challenges that you’re going to face that day? You get more and more anxious as you keep playing them out in numerous different ways. Maybe you’re thinking about the ones that you faced the day before or…

  • Wonder Woman

    I’ve always been both intimidated and fascinated with the ‘Proverbs 31 woman.’  She seems so perfect; so perfect that I think the title Wonder Woman is more fitting!  Once in a while, I’ll compare my life, my days, my accomplishments, etc to hers and I always reach the same conclusion.  She’s got it goin’ on…

  • I realized I’m a total control freak!

    I never viewed myself as a very controlling person. I usually let others take the reins and just settle in my nice comfortable seat of following. Lately though, God has been revealing something to me…that I am a total control freak! I mean, not controlling of others, but of myself. Throughout my life I thought…

  • The bigger picture

    I have spent the last 8 and a half years teaching music in the public school setting.  My last gig, which ended in December due to relocating, was teaching chorus to a bunch of very talented sixth graders.  While teaching, I’d often found myself in situations where I’d tell my students, “Just trust me.”  For…
