There is a part of me that is struggling with feeling guilty throughout this whole quarantine situation we find ourselves in. I see and hear how so many people are being affected. Financially, schedule wise, having to work from home while also homeschooling their children. People losing their jobs, people unable to get the food …

The Journey – Part 4 – Is God good, even in the unfavorable?
My answer: Yes. Boom, drop the mic, my post is done. 🙂 Ha! While this post could be finished with such a simple answer, you know I like to write... so grab some coffee and a snickers bar. 😉 I have a cardiac MRI coming up next week. I have been having issues with my …

The Journey – Part 3 – The Side Effects
Hey there! It's been a while. How ya doin? I've missed you. My husband encouraged me to sit down and write. Write about what is going on. For me, that felt like a difficult and an overwhelming task as I have lost the desire to write. You may be saying, "Wait, what?!? How is that …
The Journey – Pt 2, The Struggle
In my last post, The Journey, I confessed I have an emotional storm within me and that I wasn't entirely sure why... I was encouraged by family and friends to sit, pray, and write. So I am. And I thought I would take you through my journey of processing my emotions... This past Sunday, during …
The Journey
A journey of discovery, diagnosis, surgery, healing, waiting in the questions of the unknowns, and navigating emotions. An emotional journey, a spiritual journey, a physical journey... Over the past couple of weeks we have found out that there are no tumors anywhere throughout my body, which is great news. The thought is that there are …
Purpose in the Diagnosis

An adverse diagnosis – or is it?
"You have invasive melanoma." These are the words I heard on Monday, July 29th, 2019. It was Tuesday, July 23rd that I went to the dermatologist for an exam of a spot I thought looked wonky. I figured a biopsy would be in order and because I had my three little ones with me, I …
Fear of the unknown
What is it about the unknown that generates such a strong anxiousness in people? It's a common thing to hear, "I hate the unknown". Today in my devotional, I read my favorite passage of scripture, John chapter 11. I have part of this chapter tattooed on my arm. My tattoo reads, "When Jesus saw her …
“The Rut”
Have you been there? Are you there right now? Unmotivated. Tired. Uninspired. Discouraged. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Emotionally Spent. Physically Spent. And it just seems like you can't pull out of this rut? That's where I've been for several weeks now. I've been unmotivated, uninspired, lazy, exhausted, struggling to get through daily tasks, just completing the minimum …
Hop of angry street. Take the exit for good street.
So far, our 2019 year has not gone according to plan. It has been filled with demo, rubble, water damage, medical bills, destruction, rebuilding, financial stress, tears, sweat, and some pain, physically - like when Kevin hammered his thumb instead of the nail, 😮 and some emotionally - like the several unexpected medical bills that …
