Food Fight
From Halloween to New Year’s Day is a food festival jumping out at you. From the commercials on the tv to the subtle food placements in our entertainments, food is thrown at you. Not just food, I can handle a beautiful platter of roasted vegetables, or grilled fish; however, that is not what is projected…
Giving Up
Ever had the overwhelming desire to just give up? I have those moments all the time, more than I care to admit. But why? I grew up hearing a lot of negative things. So, after hearing it so much I began to believe it. So, my “tape” played the negative whenever I thought I could…
My Plans
I recently had hip surgery. The week before Thanksgiving to be exact. In May, I invited my daughter’s sorority sister to join us for Thanksgiving. I have looked forward to cooking for her for months. I don’t always get to fix a large meal, there’s usually just two of us unless my daughter is home.…
Stress
I’m not very good at catchy titles for my blogs. I type the first thing that comes to mind. Today I’m writing about the stress I experienced yesterday on my way to the She Speaks Studio. It all started out great. Left at the time I wanted. Had packed the night before, even went to…
Fall with a chance of Snow

Saying Something Stupid
That’s my life in a simple three-word sentence. I heard most of my childhood “Put mind in gear before putting mouth in motion.” I hated that saying because I heard it so much. But at times I have no filter. If I think it, I say it. And boy do I get in trouble when…
WELL PLEASED
Matthew 3:17 “and behold a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’” This first time I ever heard that scripture, it was written on my heart because it was something I longed to hear. As a child, we receive correction and sometimes praise. In my life, encouragement…
Fear of…
My devotion this morning was on fear. When I read it, I thought, “I don’t have a fear that is gripping me, paralyzing me.” But I have experienced it. I had a fear that grabbed me and shook me to the foundation of my faith. It was so bad I had panic attacks when I…
Expectations
I recently went to the beach with the expectation of writing. That was my plan. Apparently that was not God’s plan. His plan was to shower me with gifts so that I could feel Him. He was distracting me. Wonderfully and beautifully distracting me from writing. I had expected to have time to write my…
