    Making Time; An Update

    Last year, I wrote a post about making time for God (you can read it here). And now for an update. I wrote about learning to cut myself some slack about the daily time I dedicated solely to my relationship with God. About how I had learned it was okay to make time whenever I was able to do so during my day. But I also wrote about a coming transition that I was expecting to take place. And it happened! Making the Commitment I made a commitment. I know I grow as I deepen my relationship with Him and through that growth, I also know I thrive. And so…

    Loving You Tommy Lou; Me and My Mom

    Tommy Lou. That’s my mom. That’s the name she went by with family and friends from her youth. But for her adult life, she went by Tommy.

And I’m ready for it; in fact I’m craving it and what an amazing feeling. Not knowing exactly what’s next and where God will lead me, but knowing that He’s got a plan and I am ready for the journey! I am currently without a business/career, without a church to call home (too much detail to get into here), but not without hope for my future! What’s Next; I Should Know! It’s so weird for someone like me…

    Seriously, You Need a Day Off!

    Taking A Real Day-Off Keeping Sabbath. What? Okay, we need to get real about taking time off from our highly impacted lives. We’re all running around like crazy people with full calendars and never enough time in the day and it really does have to stop! The level of stress and busyness in one’s day is not to be worn as a badge of honor. Honestly, have you noticed how often conversations revolve around how busy we are? We all need time out to just be still, to move closer to God, or to experience something life-giving without any other distractions like our normal day-to-day activities that keep us so…
