Nancy Unashamed

 Nancy Grandquist was an amazing singer. She loved her family. She was larger than life. She sparkled. She was unashamed. I can go on and on describing who she was. I listened to her music as I cleaned the house, cooked dinner and prepared my lesson plans for my students. I kept thinking over and over through my tears, what a legacy she has left behind. She loved so deeply. She was all over the place and traveled all over the world. She reached as many people as she could in any way she could. Nancy was timeless. Glamorous. Elegant. Wild. Calm. Funny. Humble. Honest. Pure. Chef. Mother. Wife. Friend. Unashamed. That word stands out to me the most. Unashamed. She didn't do what she did for the approval of an audience. She did it because she knew her God. She did it because she loved her God. She did it because she knew who she was. She lived out loud and unashamed.

Court Papers, 75 Years and a Horse

  Today has been an interesting day. Some I will share and some I will keep to myself. I was notified that I need to go back to the NY Supreme Court because RJ’s dad has filed for emancipation.

I would rather never see a court room again. So, I will show up in the courtroom and allow the judge to grant Bob’s request.  Today is also my mom (Iris’) 75th birthday. RJ and I had a nice time with her. She enjoyed her birthday pizza and liked her cupcake. We are adjusting to this new normal. At the end of the day, I stopped by to say hello to my horse friend.  RJ and I soaked up the quiet peace that surrounded us. Sometimes life is a roller coaster of a day. God is still good through it all.

Going Against The Tide

Image
Ever felt like you were going against the tide? If you have never been to the ocean, you may not fully understand what that means. You push forward even when everything is pushing back against you, and you start to lose your footing by the shifting of the sands underneath you. It's not easy going against the tide. It can cause you to want to give up at times. I want to encourage you, if you are being led or called to move forward in a direction and everything seems to be going wrong, keep moving forward. God will show up when the time is right and all of a sudden it will be a smooth walk on the water. God is good.
