Joie,
You never listen to me. When you do listen, it’s carefully and so you can find a chink in my “logic” and tell me in 20 ways why I am more wrong than any person who has ever lived.
You calmly told me just now how I made you feel so badly. Well YOU took it [...]

Romans 13:14
I have made it no secret here on my blog that I haven’t been a REAL Christian for all that long, not yet 5 years. In that time, I have opened my eyes to the horrible life I lead before, and have done a complete turn-around. Praise God. PRAISE GOD!
I used to be so sad, [...]

Blown Completely Away
Rob wrote this to me while he was away this weekend. I was blown away and I want to be a better wife because of the same reasons.

Dearest Jay,
I am reminded, as I have been apart from you for some 77 hours, that I can be fine when I am [...]

So Angry !!!!!!!!!!!!
Something happened one week ago for which I had been waiting 17 years.
Angelina found my sister Dotty on Facebook. Dotty and I rejoiced over it. Angelina and I talked until 12:30 am that day, and she talked with my sis until 2 am.
My heart was bursting out of my chest. Such joy!
My older brother James [...]

Perfect Submission
I sat down at my computer about 45 minutes ago, my heart disquieted. My head is so clouded sometimes that I can’t gather my thoughts enough to even pray. I wanted to write a post. I wanted to pray for Rob in his ministry, his schooling, and one other thing on [...]

Whom Shall I Fear?
At the end of “Who Am I” by Casting Crowns, is the lyric:
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear? Cuz I am yours. I am yours.
Here’s the video to play whilst reading this message, written especially for my darling sister, Dotty.
I used to be very afraid, all of the time. [...]

Knight in Shining Armor
Reading a book this morning and my mind flashed upon scenes from my childhood…

A Dose of Positivity
I used to be a hopeless, negative wretch. I saw it in my own face on our 15-year-old wedding video. Even though I looked sooooo pretty, I didn’t have HOPE. Come see what it’s all about, along with a cool pic of Rob and me.

Every Trainwreck
Possible subtitles for this post include:
Maturity. What to do when you get it and your former friend doesn’t.
Don’t get caught up in every emotional trainwreck that comes your way.
Effects of “Life before Christ” trying to bite me in the butt… but guess what! My Guy wins every time!
Thank GOD I am not like that anymore.

Not a Fighter
I got my haircut yesterday and playing on the XM radio at the salon was a plethora of Michael Jackson hits. I related to my stylist (at 25, nearly 10 whole years younger than me!) about the time in 5th grade that BFF Terri and I sat behind the school with her actual Old School [...]

Not Who I Was
I had an epiphany last night. I had been playing my piano for a long time and was working on a new hymn. I was so moved by the words and just laid my head on the piano and cried. I’m so thankful that I am not the same person as I was at my lowest.

I Love My Husband
I can remember the day I told Rob, when he came home from work, that I was leaving him if things didn’t change. He was away from home around 65 hours a week at a job that took him so far away from me physically and mentally. He was so into his work, and we [...]

Going Through Pictures
What started out as rebooting laundry, turned into a 2 and a half hour job this afternoon. I’d gotten up from a short nap and went to sort a little laundry, when I spied a box of photos and scrapbooking stuff on the floor of the guest room. (The guest room which apparently we’re supposed [...]

Bag of Receipts
I am going through our file cabinet today. I went to put the phone book away and the cabinet bulged under the heft of too-many-years of receipts. I only meant to clear out things older than 7 years.
I came across a ziploc bag of receipts. I didn’t know what they were until I saw at [...]
