Making Difficult Decisions Through Prayer

Posted on by

Recently, I was faced with a difficult decision to make. Without going into too much detail, it was very personal, and involved one of my children. I needed the help of the Lord to make this decision. There were lots of emotions involved, and I kept questioning my feelings. It seemed hard to distinguish whether or not I was receiving revelation or just simple thoughts in my mind. I struggled with this issue for a few months. It wasn’t until I had a fleeting thought, and pondered on it that I realized that the Spirit was trying to whisper something … Continue reading →

Making Those Big Decisions

While there are definitely a lot of differences between my husband and I, there are also some similarities that can be viewed as good or bad. For instance, we are both very quick to jump into things. This is why we have learned (the hard way) to never, ever walk into a pet store “just to look.” At this time we have three dogs, one cat, a turtle, a bird, two bearded dragons and some fish. Need I say more? We have also owned mice and rats. But it’s not just pets that we are quick to jump into. We … Continue reading →

Step Parents

When you get divorced the last thing on your mind is getting married again. You feel overwhelmed, even if your ex husband didn’t help very much with the kids at least he helped sometimes, now you are on your own. You may find at first that you want to date, I think we all feel like undesirable failures when our marriage ends so we date, if only to show ourselves that someone still wants to date us. Initially there is nothing serious about the dating you do. For me, in the beginning, dating was a way to fill the hours … Continue reading →

11/22/63 by Stephen King

Stephen King in my favorite author so it goes without saying that if he has written something new, I’m going to be one of the first to read it. My daughter bought me this book as an early Christmas present and I have to say I was a little hesitant to read it. As much as I love Stephen King, his last few books have not really excited me, they felt wordy and overlong. I’m happy to say 11/22/63 changed all that. This book is an incredible piece of storytelling. It actually made me believe in time travel and not … Continue reading →

It’s Out of My Hands

So this week my 17-year-old son is in Haiti on a construction project. The first couple of days were extremely difficult for me. I didn’t sleep much, cried a little and thought about him constantly. As each day passes, it gets a little better. It’s also encouraging to know that as each day goes by, it also means getting closer to his return. And I am incredibly grateful for technology. While our phone service doesn’t allow for him to call or text, he is able to text us through his iPod. The house he is staying in has Wi-Fi and … Continue reading →
