100 Days to Brave - Day 4

Look for brave.
There is a lot to be said for cheering each other on. I've witnessed it the most recently in my Plunder business; whatever goal our sisters reach whether big or small, they are being cheered on by the entire company. Our sisters in Christ should be no different.
When you see a sister step out in faith and be brave, she needs to hear that cheer more than ever. Sister, you were brave and God sees you. I come from generations of strong women on my mom's side of the family; just like the women before her, my mom is no different. I watch her take care of my dad, and even on his worst days, she grits her teeth and does what needs to be done. Hell, it takes guts to raise 6 kids on one income but she and Daddy did it and I think they would do it all over again if given the choice... I think...
I'm pretty sure my mom is where my sister got her grit and strength from, because she fought for 11 years during her battle with cancer and not once did I ever hear her complain and voice defeat. She would always stand strong and say "if it's God's will, I will overcome this."
There are many other women out there that I see quietly going through struggles of their own and not backing down. Being brave isn't just the big things you do as much as it is all those little decisions you make on the daily. Deciding to wake up at 6 am instead of 7 am. Choosing to take your kids to school every morning just so you can spend more time with them and make memories. Deciding to walk out in the rain any way because you know it's good for you rather than staying indoors and not getting your workout in.
Those little things you see just may inspire someone around you to be brave also

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.
