When hashtags started to become popular I jumped on the bandwagon. My husband, who loathes social media, had to explain them to me and then tried to compel me not to use them. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you know I ignored him. I don’t use them too often (I’m sure it’s …

The Heart of a Child
Back in late February Josephine decided she wanted to be baptized. It took me by surprise because at the time she was only five and after talking to her, she eluded to the fact that she wanted to do it so she could be like my niece (who she absolutely adores). Honestly, I was skeptical. I …
Out from Under the Rock
I haven’t written in a while. I lost count of the number of days and stopped checking my stats for fear that I would see nothing. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment where I ‘lost my voice’ but things have been, for a lack of a better word, crazy. Between the sick kid and husband, …
The Other Side of the Fence
Those metal poles, my friends, are posts. We are getting the rest of the fence of our backyard completed this week. What’s the big deal? It’s a fence, Corliss. Well to me, as a person who is chronically worried about what could go wrong, who prays daily for her faith in what God can do, …
Make it Plain
As I’ve said in the last couple of posts I had been having a bit of trouble talking to God in earnest. However a week or so ago my dog woke me up at 2 in the morning. Fueled by that and my bimonthly dose of Prednisone, I couldn’t go back to sleep. So I decided …
Lessons From Superwoman’s Cancer
As many of you know my aunt Ruby was diagnosed with cancer towards the end of 2015. Since the diagnosis and all that has come with it, I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Along with her diagnosis I’ve been sick, the boy child has been sick, work has been ridiculously stressful, hubby is grinding …
From a Distance
It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve written. I was trying to pinpoint the exact reason and I couldn’t come up with anything reasonable. Then this morning as I was very slowly getting ready for work, I realized the problem. I’ve been a bit distant from my source. Before I wrote my first post I …
In the Heat of the Night
It’s 11:13 on a Sunday night and I should be asleep. My hopes for a blizzard didn’t come to fruition so at 6:30 my Mom is going to give me my morning wake up call (at which point I will lie and say I’m about to get up…I have good intentions but it always ends …
Go Shawty, It’s Your Birthday
I absolutely love birthdays. I celebrated my 18th birthday not long after my husband and I started dating and he thought it was crazy that I got so excited. When he turned 18 the following April I threw him a party and have made every birthday special for him since…and it’s been 17 years. As …
Closing Out
These last twelve months have run together. . I’ve filled buckets with my laughter, heartaches, tears, prayers asked, and prayers answered. And while I’ve grown a little older and things have changed around me, God hasn’t. And for the first time I’m REALLY realizing that the fact the He is the same is what I …
