Grown Up?
What, in your opinion, defines “grown up”? I think about this quite a bit, as there are many days when I don’t know if I have even grown up yet! Does it mean that we have evolved past high school issues, or is that even possible? So many times I find myself overwhelmed with grown…

Surrender…
I am a stubborn and proud person. I pretend otherwise, and fail miserably at pretending. Because of this trait that I possess, it is hard to surrender to others’ ideas and plans. But the biggest issue that I have is surrendering to God. It is easy to say…”I surrender all”…and easy to say it in…

Irritability!
Irritability (blog) Today was a day when I had to face an ugly truth about myself. It is something that I have been aware of…but thought that it can be overcome. I get irritated easily, and often….and for the simplest things. As I get older I seem to be able to mask it a bit…

Greener Grass?
There is that saying, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”…and there is a part of us that knows it isn’t true, but we still don’t stop wishing we were there. Beautiful grass is the result of maintenance and water, somebody is taking care of it. Our side might be…

Toxic Choices
There are times when we can really see the consequences of the decisions we made when we were younger. For example…the career we have, the spouse beside us, and where we live. Often times those decisions were good. We would still choose the same career, the same spouse, and maybe even the same home. But,…

Home
How many of us are building a home? And what does the word “home” mean to you? Is it a building? Is it people? Is it a feeling? In this day and age the word has so many different meanings, each person has their own definition. For me home is where I am currently living.…

Great Expectations
My grandmother used to say, “expect not, and you will not be disappointed”! It’s funny because I at first I used to think that is sounds quite pessimistic, but have now come to realize that in many things it is a true statement. I have wasted many years in silent expectation. Wordlessly waiting for people…
