Awareness Months

 November and December are what I like to call awareness months. They are busy times. Holidays are here and there is so much to do. It is also a reminder of loved ones who have passed on. They are no longer at the dinner table. It's a reminder to the single that they are going to go home alone when the celebration ends.  Be kind to yourself.  Did you know it's ok to grieve what once was and what may never be? Feel it, acknowledge it and then remember the good you have around you. Live your life. Remember what was lost and let it be a memory. Be in the present and keep moving towards the future. God is good.

Nancy Unashamed

Image
 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. In a world where Christians tend to hold back and not say everything, she shouted it from the mountaintops. In a world ...

RJ and College

Image
  RJ is a senior in high school and will be graduating in a few months. He applied to several colleges and received acceptances from 3 in California, 3 in New York and one in North Carolina. We heard from the last two on Friday. He has been given some amazing offers. I am so proud of him. He has worked very hard. One school is pretty much a full ride. It's now up to him to decide which state he wants to study in and what school he wants to do it in. He has a lot to factor in. I am praying for him as he makes this choice.  I want God's best for him.  I love my son and it's been a joy and honor to watch him grow into an amazing young man. God is good.

2 Better Than One

Image
 I almost asked Pastor Linder if he was standing behind me at the park when I had been talking to God on Friday. I know of course he wasn't. The sermons today went along with what I shared this weekend. I want to say that I appreciate Bro. Linder. He's hilarious. He also loves the Lord and preaches as He believes God is leading him. I do want to make something very clear. I truly believe that two are better than one. I do believe that a couple needs to work hard to keep their marriage strong. I am not for divorce. There are some situations where it's avoidable and it's best. That being said, if you are bored with each other, it's time to start getting to know one another again. Relearn each other. Work at it.  There was a day that you loved each other so much that you wanted to marry each other. Find that new spark.  I am single. I was married. I am not going to go into why I got a divorced. God knows why. The people I trust the most know why and that is enough.  To...
