This is a Call Out

Place: Living Room in the Big City
Mood: Angrier at Office Word than anything, but searching and a little blue
 
Dear Father God,
Why is everything so hard sometimes?  Why does it seem like “everyone else” has an easier time in life than I do? My heart is crying out. Come [...]

I Don’t Know What

I have been away for a long time, from my blog, from my thoughts. I am afraid that I have purposefully distanced myself from knowing my own heart, for fear that I would run back to things and a life much more familiar.
I went to the doctor this morning, having had much abdominal pain. Before [...]

Rose Colored Glasses

This song, Rose Colored Glasses, is one I remember from early childhood. It’s by John Conlee.
“These rose colored glasses that I’m looking through
show only the beauty and hide all the truth.”
I got my little heart broken today. Or yesterday, maybe both.
I guess I have one question to ask. Just one.
I won’t judge you if you [...]

My Best Pal Joan

For the past 4 days, my best work-friend Joan has not been feeling well. Joan and I are such a pair.We finish each other’s sentences, we make inside jokes constantly, and we generally work very hard and also goof off a bunch.
Today when I got to work, Joan was lamenting her medical bills and said [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes

… or two or three days, even.
I am sitting here now somewhat in awe of the crabbiness and nastiness I showed here on my blog last week. So in honor of God leading me by the hand out of that pit once more, I shall speak of my blessings today!

I don’t remember if I mentioned [...]

Merry Christmas 2008

Every single thing is changing. Nothing is left out. But the Lord is still on His throne. He will provide. He alone is my strength and salvation. Praise to His name. Amen.

Parenting Prayers Please

I wouldn’t have missed yesterday’s parenting for the world, because BEING HERE for Stormy IS what we signed on for. But it was rough.
I won’t go into all the details yet. Just know that Stormy, Rob and I need your prayers. Stormy decided yesterday to take handfulls of pills while at school. The pills were [...]

Jayleigh’s Ugh-ly Adventure

Where do I begin? How about we’ll do this chronologically, ok?

I got up at 6:15, in time to wake Stormy and get ready for work. Stormy dragged her feet, so we were 10 minutes late getting started on icy roads.
Work was ok until I remembered that I had to call Planned Parenthood to make an [...]

The Rest of It

I am feeling better now. But did anyone catch the real issue of my last posting?
There was one paragraph about me. The rest was about someone weighing heavily on my heart.

Heart Cries Out

Dear Abba God,
Today we learned from my darling hubby (Rob) that you want to be close with us, not as a disciplinarian, but as a true Father. Let me always remember your love and stop fearing the unknown. Let me stop fearing being left out or left behind. Let me stop being stung by weird [...]

My Dear Friends

This photo is of a church and community coming together to pray for our friends’ son, Micah. A little over a year ago, Micah had some kind of blood clot to the brain or something like it. He never had any head trauma, it just “happened.” Until late November of 2007, M’s family did not [...]

Teensy Obsession

Got some amazing shoes today!

Blue Cloud

I’m in a crazy-blah place right now.

Sunshine Please Don’t Go Away

It’s a beautifully sunny day here. I’m feeling better, and I am praying that Rob is not getting the flu that I’m just over.
