jolted // thoughts on eternity

On Saturday morning, I woke up discouraged. Depressed would probably be a more accurate word to use. For the past couple weeks, we’ve had a break from my husband’s school schedule. Plus, he’s had days off because of the holidays. Let’s just say I’ve enjoyed it. Immensely.

taking stock

The next several weeks are a bit packed, so I’m trying to be super strict about vitamins, water, rest, hand-washing, etc. to keep the germies away.

Hi. I Need You.

“How are you?” Fine. “Really?” She kept looking at me. I think it was because I was on the verge of tears. I decided she cared. So I told her what I was burdened about. And she listened. The whole conversation took approximately 2 1/2 minutes. But it made me think. Jesus tells us to …
