Living God's plan for your life
Blessed by adoption
We have been blessed by the adoption of 2 little boys. I must say, they are amazing! I can’t imagine our life without them. They are only 9-1/2 months apart and we adopted them as newborns. We brought one home when he was 9 weeks old and the other when he was...
Are you leaving the legacy you want to leave with your children?
A week ago was the 2nd anniversary of my mom’s death. She had inflammatory breast cancer. I’ve thought about her quite a bit the past few weeks. I surely do miss her and over the past 2 years I have caught myself thinking that I would call her and tell her...
Praying for your spouse
One of my favorite authors is Elizabeth George. I think I have most of her books, if not all of them. I’m reading through 3 of them again right now and working through the growth and study guides that go with them. One of the books I’m reading is A Wife After God’s...
22 years of marriage
My husband, John, and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary this weekend. Where did that time go? Last time I checked, I was in my 20’s and…. well, now I guess I’m not. I spent a lot of time this week thinking about some of the things we have experienced...

Love Languages
Do you know your primary love language? Do you know the language of your spouse? Maybe you’re engaged. Have you learned your fiance’s primary love language? What about the love language of your children? Love languages are fun and can make a big impact on the...
Physical, Spiritual, and Emotional/Cognitive Balance
A friend and I were talking the other day about a transition she is experiencing. Her role of primary caregiver for a family member has ended. It’s a really big transition for her and it has kind of thrown her and disrupted her life. All of a sudden, she has time...
Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Have you been busy organizing and getting a fresh start? I must admit, I really do like January first…….even though it’s just another day, something about it is so refreshing and really motivates me to reflect on the past year and think ahead to the...
SMART Goals
Do you set SMART goals? I’ve been reflecting on my own life and praying and thinking about personal growth goals to set for this year. I’ve come up with quite a few. Now, that might sound a little too optimistic or like too much to take on, but bear with me……. ...
