i really needed this.
I’m glad it was something you needed. It was suddenly on my heart to write, so I figured I’d better just obey the feeling. :)

Some people would rather give up than measure up.
It’s easier to quit than to make an effort. Sometimes it’s easier to lose something important than fight for it because we’re afraid we may still lose it in the end, so why even bother. Why would we strive to accomplish a bigger goal when we can sit on the sidelines & mourn & complain about life not being what we want it to be? Not living up to higher expectations makes...

I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me, it happens all the time.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever felt like suddenly you can't tell anyone how you really feel, either because those who you love will be burdened and you don't want to hurt them, or those who you love will leave you due to frustration, so you are forced to suffer in silence, grinning and bearing all the is eating away at you, slowly destroying you, just to maintain the last bit of "constants"...

Just the sound
I was just sitting here watching an “I am Second” video when the sound came through my ear buds. It’s the sound that used to bring me such happiness. I clicked on the open tab to discover it was just a spam, but the reaction of my heart & the tears that instantly welled in my eyes brought with it a sea of emotions. How is it that just a sound, or a smell, or a familiar...

Today should be fun
My husband left this morning for a conference in Florida. He goes every year & has for over 10 years. The truth is, this trip, so many years ago, is the thing that initiated the deep sense of mistrust I have in him. Not that he would ever be unfaithful, but I learned that he’s a liar. It’s hard to honor & respect a man that lies.
Anyway, he left early this morning & should...

Let’s keep praying that God’ll open your husband’s eyes to the truth and that he’ll be the husband that God planned for him to be :DD I fully agree with you on what you said about marriage, and I really admire you for being strong despite everything!
Thank you Sweetheart! I would sure love to be in a loving relationship!...

For what it's worth....
I did some extensive cleaning today, getting the dust bunnies behind the beds,etc. As I cleaned, I came across a list my husband wrote. Back when we were getting counseling from our pastor (now my ex-pastor), he had asked each of us to write a list of the negative things about each other that bothered us, the positives, and why we married.
My husband’s list didn’t surprise me. I spent...

Baby Doll
Yesterday’s funeral more difficult for me than I anticipated, but it was also far more touching than I expected as well.
When I got there, I was greeted by my friend’s middle daughter. She is a stunning beauty! At nearly 6’ tall, slender, blonde hair & huge blue eyes, she is physically pleasing to the eye, and yet she has no idea how gorgeous she is. Such a troubled young...

Funeral
I’m heading out this morning to attend a funeral for my dear friend, Chris’, father. It’ll be great to see her, though I wish the circumstances were different. We’ve been friends since before we started attending our old church, having met at swimming lessons when my oldest was 3. Then we started attending the church to discover that’s where she & her family went....

Butterfly
Just picked up my beautiful butterfly from Maryland Chrysalis 65. What an awesome experience! I’m hoping my older daughter can go to the college Chrysalis in July & I’m dying to go to the adult Emmaus retreat. It sure would be wonderful to connect with others who are passionate about Christ right here in my area, live & in person! But for now, I just love seeing how happy my...
