I think many of the things we go through are designed especially for our growth, our laughter, our pain, but most of all to realign us back to the original plan we were created for...before all the baggage started to pile on. I think my journey is about the baggage I drop off along the way...join me! kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068516749115295220noreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819156168953389162.post-87391658513371796942014-04-18T09:19:00.001-07:002014-04-18T09:19:13.318-07:00

Today is Good Friday. Its called that because its the day Jesus died on the cross. Its observed by Christians all over the world. It represents Jesus' death; his obedience to fulfilling his purpose. Taking the sin of the whole entire world upon himself. Giving himself as the most Holy sacrifice to God. In turn we now have the opportunity to accept the salvation that His obedience brings.

Have you ever had a moment in life, when you knew from the core of your very being that you would never be the same? That you were forever changed by what you felt, saw, or experienced? Those are moments I like to call "pivotal moments". When they happen, there is no denying the impact it has on you, whether internal or external. I remember such an experience so clearly… One of my dearest

I have been through a long period of upheaval, perpetual motion, constant instability and a rollercoaster of emotions in the past few years of my life.  I am by nature a calm, stable, consistent person. I like to fly by the seat of my pants, but in my core I always keep my feet grounded.  I know I am no different than anyone else, we all go through challenges in life. It just feels like

Hi friends, I am not really a football fan, its fun to watch every once in awhile, but I don't have a favorite team or anything. I would much rather do many other things besides watch a football game, but this season seems to have brought out the fan in my hubby. So there have been some games playing lately. Intense games including running and yelling and kneeling. Every time a game is on the TV

Okay Okay, I have been wallowing around in this weird funky mess of a pity party for awhile…its like I come out and go back in, come out and go back in…and personally I feel exhausted from it. This weekend seemed to top it off as some things happened that brought up a lot of old feelings and emotions…ones I had thought were long gone. So this morning as I arose I knew that I had to do something

Some of us are loners, people who have been accustomed to doing life with or with out people. Loners by choice. We have gone through experiences that have made it hard for us to trust others. We meet new people and sometimes feel that tug from God on the inside to reach out, or the feeling that maybe, just maybe, you might be able to have a wonderful friendship with someone, but when it comes

As the lights twinkle brightly upon this green tree, and the oranaments hang like they want to be seen.I remember the years of laughter and love, and I know that your watching from high up above.I feel you in the details of every sweet treat, I see you in the eyes of family I meet.My children still linger and let out a smile, just thinking of you and your laugh for awhile.The pain that was felt

As Christmas approaches there is an almost eerie presence of holidays past lingering throughout the house. The memories of years gone by are fresh and ripe for the picking. Laughter and excitement fill the unspoken thoughts and I wonder if these will ever fade. This is to some a very hard time after losing a loved one...wow, saying that out loud feels like I am walking in somone elses shoes.

I hesitated as whether to share this with you all, as it is truly a private moment of my heart...but there is something so theraputic about sharing this journey with others. So many people have been here with me as I have dealt with the loss of my mom...still I have felt so alone. It makes no sense, but the more I try to figure out how to deal with death, the harder it is...So as I sit

I have been thinking a lot about my future~ about what my plans are and how do they coincide with Gods plans for me….I had something happen the other day that I will share with you. Again, this is my journey, just sharing it as it happens. If it benefits you in anyway, I  am so happy , truly…it make this so worthwhile. I was on my laptop, like an other day, and it started to run very slowly.

1. True, heart felt, gut busting laughter is definitely better than any medicine. 2. Stop and listen to your children, wisdom comes from their innocence. 3. The grass is never greener on the other side, water what you have and it will grow. 4. Memories of the past can haunt you, but allowing that to filter into the present can ruin the future. 5. Take what you have right in front of you and
