Lately, it feels like resilience isn’t something I rise to—it’s something I live in. When surviving becomes routine, it’s hard to pick just one story. But there was a moment when I first understood what that really meant, and it changed everything.Absolutely—here’s a more emotionally resonant, blog-style rewrite that brings readers into your story, tugs at the heart, and captures the deep impact

So much life goes by, it's amazing to find old relics like this blog.  When I look back upon some of the posts, I feel transported to a simpler life - a life I felt much more in control of - but that was only an illusion.We have no control save reliance on our Savior.I am so very thankful for the years that have passed, growth (both literal, figurative, spiritual, and physical...well, maybe

In 7 days (8 if you count today...but who does that!?) we will close out yet another school year...wow, I cannot believe how quickly this time is slipping by! When I reflect on the past year, it has been a crazy one, full of adventure, heart ache, love, disappointments, disillusionment, and joy.  Amazing how we - especially women - can fly through so many emotions, because some of those

Last night at church we were going over Ephesians 1:15-19.  Pastor Troy had mentioned a few times the desire to memorize verses 17-19, and I had those very verses highlighted in my Bible, so, at the end of our meeting, I evoked a challenge... "I'll quiz you if you will quiz me Sunday". Oh my!  Talk about a direct hit since then!  Today I have felt AWFUL!  Don't want the

Hello Ladies (specifically in the Ellaville, GA area) :-) A few of us have been in dire search of a time/place of when we can begin getting together regularly again for fellowship, encouragement, prayer, and study...and now that we have an excellent little eat-in diner in town....how about Sherry's Restaurant!? Beginning Next Wednesday (5/8/13), we will meet at Sherry's Restaurant at 6AM (I

This past week has been a crazy one-well I suppose anyone would say this life time frame is such. Six children, four of which are currently enrolled in school...and well...It’s SPRING!!  A great time of reflection of the past and new beginnings.  Softball/baseball/T-ball season has officially been kicked off and is in full swing around here…not to mention we have a Spring Soccer League

At the height of discouragement, His Word is still the optimal place to turn: Psalm 143(HCSB Version) Lord, hear my prayer.  In your faithfulness listen to my plea, and in Your righteousness answer me.  Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous in Your sight. For the enemy has pursued me, crushing me to the ground, making me live in darkness like those

Hello! It has certainly been awhile since my last blog...offering an apology would assume that some of you may have missed my blog postings...although that would be great, it is obvious that I have not ever been very consistent.  This is something I would like to change. Over the course of this past year, since the passing of my Father-in-Law, I have struggled with what may be the reality

I am well aware this post will be very controversial, even among some strong Christian leaders; however, the Lord has not allowed my spirit to rest.  My duty is to obey, so please know that every word written is done so with humility and much prayer - for God to impart to every reader what He wills.

Hey!  This Friday  I will be introducing something new on my blog!  It will be called: FRIDAY'S FRIPP-FLOP BLOG HOP! I have to give credit to my husband's cousin-in-law, Wende, for the name.  She has been trying to encourage me to write a book called 'Fripp's Flops', since we have such a large family, and so many funny things happen all the time!  This is the

Oh, goodness!  This post was started back in 2010 while I was working on my Bachelor's of Business Finance...oh how I remember the evening like it was yesterday! I had been working diligently on a paper (much like today).  The kids were outside playing in the back yard, and we didn't have a fence up yet, so while I worked in the office, I had the window open, ensuring I could count

Last night, the Lord took me back a few years ago when I had the undeserved privilege to walk along side a sister in Christ and help her clear out her husbands closet - just a couple weeks after burying him.  In the midst of her heart ache and pain, my heart was begging God to tell me the answer to her 'Why' questions so I could help alleviate some of her pain.  We all know

What Scripture are You currently pondering on? For me, James Chapter 1 has been what I have been reading nightly.  Most likely because I am working through Beth Moore's study on James.  What marvelous and hard-hitting words are there!  I want to leave you with a few of the power-packed words that have resonnated wtihin my spirit over the past few weeks, and yet He is still using

What are you currently studying?  This may seem like a loaded question...or possibly you may see it as a vague question....can you specify the question please! The bottom line is that we are all continuously in the state of learning...what you are learning makes up many different elements.  For example, just the other day I 'relearned' some history as I assisted my children in

I recently initiated a conversation with someone whom I consider to be "famous", and we began chatting.  She is a great leader among women, specifically Christian women.  She and her ministry has had a major impact on my growth as a Christian woman, wife, and mom.  Then couple days ago, another woman (whom I admire) posted on Facebook how incredibly excited she was
