Day 24
When life pulls the rug out from under you and you land on your butt, look up….God has you. He will stand you up, dust off your butt and point your feet in the direction you need to go. I must hold onto this truth right now. If I don’t I will be a sadness…

Day 23
I’ve started seeing advertisements for that money snatching made up holiday. You know the one that is all hearts and flowers. The ads offer cute coffee mugs, T-shirts, posters, throw blankets and key fobs with sweet words of endearment and love. None of it we need in our lives. My husband and I have more…

Day 22
Writer’s Log Day 22… Finished the draft of Prayer After Prayer, a new book I’m working on. Handed off to my first editor, AKA my mother. She gets a first look at all my work. Well, most of it. Why? Well, she’s my mother. Do you have a Mom? I mean you must since you…

Day 21
Today we officially started house hunting. We are a large family of seven in a shoe box house. I am sort of deflated. When we find a house that fits our family it doesn’t fit our budget. If it fits the budget the house is always missing something. We have been renting the shoe box…

Day 20
Mean what you say and say what you mean. Own the words coming out of your mouth. Own your beliefs. None of this…”well… I…..uh…” No, stop that. Don’t give a solid, strong, authoritative, statement or speech then end it with…a lukewarm statement. Just don’t. Everything you said before is lessened now. When a self proclaimed…

Day 19
I dream about home and writing when I should be doing other things. Sometimes focusing is difficult. I try not to stifle daydreaming. Some of my best ideas come when my brain is playing. Let your mind wander when you can and let it know that is it not in a box. Tell your mind…

Day 18
Long day. Many things to be thankful for. Trying to get ready for sleep and my kids are procrastinating. I know I’ll miss them when they are grown and leave home. I miss their big sister and her children something awful. How do you balance the want for the future and desire for time to…

Day 17
The problem with saying, ” I am a Christian.” is all Christians are NOT the same. Humanity has twisted the word Christian. There are humble Christians, Holier than you Christians, Sunday Only Christians, Look How Successful I am I give pennies to charity Christians, Arrogant Christians, and Human Loving Christians. I am a Christian. I…

Day 16
I heard it said once that only boring people get bored. I thought that was a silly thing to say. Then I gave it some thought and realized that was a true statement. If you are an adventurous person you will not get bored because you will be looking for the next adventure. If you…

Day 15
Halfway through January and people are still whining about last year. In the words of the famous snow princess, let it go. There is nothing a human can do about last year. Unless you have a time machine, leave last year alone. Stop picking it back up. Don’t look backwards, you are not going that…
