I have kept a journal since I was nine years old. It started out with me writing about my pets or exciting events. Then it became a place to write anything that was on my mind.
For a while, my journal was about Luke. I have a journal of over 200 pages that covers 2 years [...]

I am learning to be positive. It is very tempting to think thoughts like, “This is going to be one of those days!” Do you know that every time I have thought I will have “one of those days,” I have been right?
The thing is that when you tell yourself that you will have a [...]

I’ve never had much trouble with spelling. Although there was a time back in 2nd grade, when my teacher thought my class would never learn to spell “because.”
The funny thing is that even though I don’t struggle much with spelling, I would not do well at a spelling bee. If you ask me to spell [...]

I like to drink hot herbal teas, yet I don’t care for the taste of cold tea. My favorite flavor has always been vanilla hazelnut. Not anymore.
Since I have cut back on my sugar and have experimented with unsweetened hot tea, I no longer care for vanilla hazelnut. It is awful with no sugar!
My new [...]

I love sunsets and sunrises!
In the past, I have always tried to take a picture of every sunset/sunrise I saw. Recently, I have decided that the they are much more enjoyable to just sit and observe. And the cool thing about sunsets/sunrises is that you can thoroughly enjoy it alone or with a loved one!
If [...]

I can’t stand to have others say or think negative things about me. I realize this is not logical because of all the people in this big world, someone is bound to think something negative about me. But I guess logic doesn’t always rule, especially when it comes to feelings.
If someone does think [...]

I have a dream of helping those holding positions of leadership. It all began about 4 years ago. I had always held pastors and their wives as almost holy. Because I thought they did no wrong, I also thought that they could handle a lot! I never dreamed of offering to help them with anything [...]

I like routine. Now those of you who know me may be saying, “huh?!” It would seem that my life has very little routine.
I have discovered that I actually have several routines that I perform throughout the day. One is at bedtime. I always check the door and windows, cover the kids up, get water [...]

I married my childhood sweetheart! We met when we were 12 and the rest is history. Well, I guess it is all history, huh? Oh well!
For more on how we met check it out on my blog and/or on his. We have two different perspectives on the same events! Check it out!

Music is addictive to me. If a person sings one line of a song, it is very possible that I will be singing that song the rest of the day. If someone else starts whistling, I will do it without even thinking.
Once when I was in the high school band, my flute broke while we [...]
