  • You are the Light

    You are the Light

    Last week, I was shopping at Aldi in intensely h.o.t. weather. As I was sweatily putting groceries into my car, another vehicle parked right next to me. A lady jumped out of the passenger seat and came up to me. “Can I have your cart?” she asked, holding out 25 cents in exchange. “Oh, sure!”…

  • Hang On to This:

    Hang On to This:

    Ever gone through a trial? If there’s one thing that’s attacked during a trial, it’s your view of God. And most likely, the first thing to be questioned is His goodness.

  • Dare to Compare {or not}

    Dare to Compare {or not}

    I’ll admit it – I’m a fan of Pinterest. I’ve gotten awesome recipes, decor ideas, and general inspiration from the site. If they close down or start charging $ to use their site, I will mourn (very briefly) the absence from my homemaking life. But there’s something with Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and really any social…

  • Ditch Your Goals

    Ditch Your Goals

    It’s the middle of April. How are you doing on the goals you set in January? Yikes. I really just went there. I am a firm believer in making goals. I’m also a big proponent of following through & reaching those goals. But sometimes you need to ditch your goals.  Wisdom is not only in…

  • Is Facebook Ruining Your Friendships?

    Is Facebook Ruining Your Friendships?

    Facebook is ruining your friendships. Or, at least, it could be. You say, “What? I have more friends now than I’ve ever had before!” Consider this: how many of them are truly your friends? Of course, we all have exceptions to the facebook friends thing. I would guess most of you have at least 1…
