Get your gloves on!

I think it's safe to say. . .
I've. Been. In. A. Funk.
Dragging, Knocked down - but not out, Been whooped, Beat up, Kicked around, Wallowing, Not in a good mood.
Surprised?
I know, I'm supposed to be the nice one - always smiling and sunshiney. Keeping things running smoothly. Ever the peacemaker. But I'm not feeling it. At least not lately.

So, what am I going to do about it? Well, for starters, I'm not going to listen to the lies anymore. You know the ones. The ones that come through your mind when things aren't the way you think they should be. The ones that make you question things like your job, your ministry, your spouse, your family, your world. . .
I'm going to kick back. I'm going to walk/run/push until I can feel/see/taste/smell a change - especially in my attitude. I'm going to pray harder than ever. I'm going to speak the truth - quote the Word. Do everything to stand and stand firm! I'm going to take time for myself. I'm going to say 'no' more. And I'm going to come out stronger in the end.

It won't be pretty - I know. A fight never is. But I (we) do have a promise of "overwhelming victory" in Romans 8:37. It's a call to action - and I better get my gloves on! What about you?

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll! But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh. Or should I? Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city. College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days. Especially when the bank account is low. Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility. I am a Promise, With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality! And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)
