Why This Teenage Girl Doesn’t Kiss Her Boyfriend

Follow my blog with Bloglovin I couldn’t help but share this post a senior friend of Trevor’s posted on Facebook. We all know how our society has become so sexually promiscuous. When it’s time for my second and third child to get married, I want them to have someone to choose from who has saved themselves for marriage. I’m not belittling those who have already chosen to have sex, and there is a very real concept called “reclaimed virginity.” It’s {Read More}

A Million Ways

My life has been so busy these last few weeks I’ve had a hard time just posting twice a week, and on Fridays it’s just a five minute post! But I can’t let mother’s day go by without a quick post for my mom. Among many other things, she’s one of my biggest fans!  I could not have made it thus far in life without her. Besides the fact that she did bring me into this world, and probably wanted {Read More}

Make-a-change Monday~Simplify

I’m a “want-it-right-now” kinda girl. Patience is not one of my virtues. Obviously over the seven years I was sick, God was well aware of my lack of patience and was trying to teach me a thing or two.  And I’ve learned my lesson. The hard way. Making changes that produce great results don’t come easy. No matter how many times I throw away all the junk in my pantry promising myself that I will feed me and my family {Read More}

Tips to a Happier You in 2012~Rest

These next two months will hold many moments for me to stop and reflect. My firstborn is 18 years old today and will be graduating from high school next month. If time were personified she would obviously have wings. I’m really not sure where the last 18 years has gone.  I look back at clouded memories wishing every moment had been recorded. But they weren’t.  It’s up to me to hold those memories close to my heart. It’s up to {Read More}

Make-a-change Monday~Rescue Your Fridge…and Your Family!

Since we’ve been on the topic of food lately, I have a confession to make:  I really don’t like to cook.  For those of you who know me personally, I’m sure it’s no surprise. Cooking has always been a struggle for me. As soon as I get on a roll, I get in a rut.  I begin with great intentions.  •   I get together my recipes…some new and some old.  •   I take a pantry inventory and make my grocery {Read More}

Tips to a happier you in 2012~Acceptance in Christ (You are not what you eat)

Last Monday, March 12, I posted about making a change to be healthier by eating foods that increase your body pH. I referred to several health “bandwagons” I jumped on in my search to cure myself while I was sick. It was conversations about that post that prompted me to write today’s tip to a happier you. I was so easily convinced that each and every supplement, juice, and diet I tried was THE one to make me better. And {Read More}

Make-a-change Monday~(((Hug))) your children

Make Miranda and Trevor (my 17 and 13 year old children) are working with Defenders for Children to help build a website for kids to go to for help if they are depressed, abused, angry, etc.  It has opened my eyes and broken my heart.  G The number of children in our country who are abused and neglected is staggering.  God gave us children as a gift. They are to be cherished.  Today’s make-a-change Monday is simple:  (((Hug))) your children.  Every single day.  {Read More}

Tips to a Happier You in 2012~Time to Dance

   I will admit that this Southern Baptist girl hasn’t done much dancing in her time. It’s not that I don’t like dancing; I’ve just never had many opportunities to dance. There was my senior prom, for which my date (now my hubby) and I learned to shag, but beyond that we have never spent too much time in ballrooms. With the era of X-Box and PlayStation, you no longer need a fancy dress and a ballroom to dance. You {Read More}
