Learning to Be Content Whatever The Circumstances


The month of May has been so bittersweet... it seems as though once I'm finally doing good, things are going well and I'm metaphorically on Cloud 9, something has to come and slap me back down to earth. In all of this, I've learned who I can count on, who I cannot trust, and that things don't always go as planned. In fact, maybe I shouldn't plan things anymore... that's like tempting fate apparently.

I'm slowly learning to be content with my life and with all the curve balls that it tends to throw my way. Yes, there are rough patches but it the grander scheme of things, I have it super easy compared to a lot of people; for that, I am so thankful and blessed. I'm also learning that God will not throw anything in my path that He knows I cannot handle, and with Him, I can handle anything (scary thought, but true).

100 Days To Brave - Day 1

( Click here to order your copy ) I've noticed several of my friends sharing their stories on social media lately with the hashtag #100DaysToBrave, and my curiosity took over so I downloaded the book to my tablet. Let's just say, I think I have found a new favorite daily spiritual devotional.  Perfect. Just what I needed. Something short, sweet and meaningful to add to my day.  The first assignment (day one) is to make a public declaration that you are committing the next 100 days to ‘being brave’. I honestly do not know what this means in my life but I’m beyond excited to find out. Couldn’t we all use a little more bravery in our life? Lately I have been feeling like something is missing in my life. I don't believe in coincidences. I think these next 100 days of brave is God calling to me to dive further into Him. To explore my faith. To embrace and completely utterly surrender to His plan. To not just sit back but to ACT on His plan and make an impact. So toda...

New Chapter in His Life

He did it! Travis graduated high school, and Mom and I were beyond blessed that we were able to fly out and be there with him on his big day.

Friday Night Musings

It dawned on me tonight that I have no life. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I am home, alone, on a Friday night or... yeah, there is no "or". I have no life. So I sit here, glass of wine in hand, and have tried something fairly new. I went to Hobby Lobby last night and loaded up on all kinds of scrap-booking paper, Mod Podge and wooden foundations for my soon-to-be amazingly decoupaged projects.  This one turned out pretty cool, I think. I have no idea what I'm going to do with a decoupaged picture of myself, but whatever. It was a practice run. :) I still have no life, but at least I know how to entertain myself for a few hours without getting into some sort of mischief.
