When I hear the word “clothed” today, lots of things come to my mind. Interestingly, however, my thoughts have differed quite substantially over the years where the meaning of this word is concerned. As a young child, being clothed simply meant that I had some sort of article of clothing on my body and wasn’t running … Continue reading Clothed
I recently read a blog post giving advice on navigating through the years of middle school friendships. The blogger described friendship during these years as "fluid.” As I read through the article, I couldn’t help but think that, sadly, this is how many in today’s society view friendship.

Let me ask you something?

I can never really say a day is wasted.” Upon reading the quote, I literally shouted a resounding “Amen” out loud. THIS … Continue reading It’s All About YOU!

He so wants us … Continue reading Don’t Discount Your Dreams
I was recently asked a question that honestly had never crossed my mind. At the time, I was only given a couple of minutes to respond, so I quickly jotted down my answer which is without a doubt what I’d say a thousand times over; however, when I got home and really thought about the … Continue reading My Greatest Blessings Call Me “Mom”
