GRINDING HALT

My point is, all this stuff that comes unexpectedly in your life may not be wanted; however, it is all used to make us stronger, to help us grow into what God would have us to be. So, we need to embrace the unpleasantness and learn from it. Do what you can do where God puts you. Get brave, step out of your comfort zone. He has a great plan and purpose for you for this season.

a FIVE GALLON Bucketful of Patience

I believe that we all can learn to wait, to slow down, to learn from the circumstances and the people around us. Many things in life don’t go our way or how we had planned, but if we pause to lean in and learn what God would have us to, we will gain even more patience than we thought we ever had, and realize He had the best plan all along than we could have ever imagined. Sometimes we just got to go through the muddy, sticky, hard, Murphy Monday, five gallon bucketful kind of day. Because in the end, we can look back and see it was all for a purpose to make us who we are today. And, thankfully God is with us through it.

Putting Yourself in Another’s Shoes

God continued to provide. My husband was doing night calls for I don’t know how many years just to make ends meet. Looking back, I don’t think I thought he was stressed because he never showed it. He was an amazing daddy who loved on his children when he got home instead of doing what the average guy did (watching tv or doing whatever without their family when they got home) I was blessed to have a guy who would help me when he got home, read to the children, and tuck them in. We had a very simple life but I loved it and I even had a neighbor tell me once he loved seeing us all out in the backyard running around and playing together the way families and children use to. He encouraged us to keep doing that.

CANCELLED

February 17, 2022 CANCEL CULTURE is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social, family, or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person. I have so much I want to write about but a big part of me doesn’t care to put my thoughts out there because anymore…… Continue reading CANCELLED

To Waste or Not to Waste?

April 5, 2020 So it seems that many people are being made to believe this most recent change in the way we live, and how it’s affecting our world, is keeping them from doing anything at all. I would beg to differ…. Just this past week, my family has been enjoying biking, fishing, chalking, drawing,…… Continue reading To Waste or Not to Waste?
