Daily Walking with God
The right way to start your day:
Snap*Crackle*Pop! That was NOT my breakfast this morning. It was my body. Last week, I was looking forward to finishing my five-week Alpha, T-25 workout and recording my last devotional about working out the body and spirit. When I woke up last Friday morning, my...
Observations while Being Still
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” God sometimes makes us still so that we can breathe, reflect, and observe His majesty. The weekend was extended a day and a great day was being celebrated. Good...
Two Thumbs Up!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for about three weeks to see the movie with the whole family, and today was the day! And what a perfect day it was on…Good Friday. On the day that the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated, my family went to the movie theater to see...
Who supports you?
I am so grateful that I have a wonderful support system in many areas in my life. My co-workers are awesome! We have lunch together, gather in the halls, and are always there to back each other up. When times are tough, unexpected, or when there’s much...
The Best 25 minutes?
Something I heard last night has been ringing in my head still this morning. “This will be the best 25 minutes of your day.” This is what the exercise instructor said at the beginning of the workout. I immediately thought, “Yea, it could be, but there is so...
Live with a purpose!
Yea, you thought I was slackin’. Well, maybe this morning, because I needed to get to school early today. But tonight, week FIVE day one routine resumed. I can’t believe I’m on week 5! Tonight I heard Shaun T. say a couple of saying that stuck in my mind; “Give...
A Lost Cause
I’m glad we are not like my thumb-drive…“a lost cause”. A few weeks back one of my students walked by my classroom computer and accidentally bumped into my thumb-drive while going back to his seat. When he did, it bent the chip inside. (He has no clue he did it. I...
Verses for the grads
My oh my where has the time gone? My boy is graduating this year from high school! Yesterday I got to take pictures of my “four boys” for their grad party. They were a hoot! Then they sat around in the backyard and we talked about when they first met...
Inhale…Exhale Part 2 (Teens!)
“Inhale…Exhale” journal entry has taken on a whole new meaning. Slowly breathe in and out. Count to ten. Close my eyes. Think positive. Focus on God’s goodness. That’s what I had to do this morning with a certain teen in my house this morning. I’m sure...
Inhale…Exhale
Just Breathe. Have you ever been near a chemical plant, landfill, freshly “used” cow pin, or your own trash on a later day than normal trash day, and tried to inhale deeply? Ugh! That is stanky! You know you want to remove yourself from that vicinity as soon as...
Focus on The Core
“When you focus on the core, everything else just seems to fall into place.” Oh if this doesn’t sound like something I’ve said time and time again. Here’s the way I memorized Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all...
Chat it up with God
I am big prayer warrior. If you ask me to pray about something for you, consider it done. When someone’s face or names comes across my mind that I haven’t seen in a while, and after I think, “Wow! I haven’t seen that person in a while!”, I take that as God wanting...
