June 2, 2011 The hard job of a working mother
I always envisioned that I would be a stay-at-home mom. But once my maternity leave was up, I knew I couldn’t realistically afford to give up my paycheck to be at home with my baby. The first week back at work was rough. There were tears — lots of tears. I finally have the baby [...]

June 23, 2010 Biltmore Estate: A great vacation option for the whole family
I have always wanted to go to Biltmore Estate, so when my husband Wayne, along with a few other bloggers, was invited to spend a few days there, I knew there was no way I would miss that trip. There is a lot I could say about Biltmore because I really enjoyed my time there, [...]

April 27, 2010 Success God's way
The late Dr. Adrian Rogers said, “Success is the progressive realization of God’s will for your life.” Failure, he said, is being outside of the will of God. A lot of people are chasing success, but they’re going about it the wrong way. Change your mind about success. Take the focus off worldly things like [...]

April 1, 2010 Wounded for me
Easter is not about a bunny. It’s about love. Because of love, Jesus laid down His life for all of us. He was wounded for me. And because of that, my sins are forgiven. But the story doesn’t end there. On the third day, Jesus rose again and therein lies our hope. Happy Easter! “Surely [...]

March 17, 2010 Seeing myself the way He sees me
You’re stupid. You’re ugly. You’re not good enough to do that. If someone said those things to us, we would be ready to fight. So why do we say those kind of things about ourselves over and over again? Why can’t we see what God sees? Many times, when I’m feeling insecure, I wish I [...]

March 16, 2010 March Madness and random thoughts
I guess you can say I’ve been on a bit of a vacation from blogging. It wasn’t intentional; I’ve just been so busy with other things. But part of the reason I started my blog was to force myself to write. So here I am writing. It’s March, and that means it’s time for non-stop [...]

February 22, 2010 Music Monday — "Lift Every Voice and Sing"
“Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.” We, as a people, should never forget who brought us and where He brought us from. We should give God praise, not just this month, but every single day for delivering us from captivity and inequality. And now we have a black [...]
