Last week, I posted at Circle of Friends about how one of my goals for 2012 was to stay more consistently disciplined in all areas of my life, with new daily habits of discipline as opposed to catch-up habits. I have a pattern, as I do when I [...]

Resolution: don’t live like I drive
My husband doesn’t like my driving. I really can’t blame him. It’s not that I’m reckless, I’m just not that good at it. I tend to get distracted, writing stories in my head and people-watching other drivers. Is he picking his nose or just adjusting his glasses? Is she really putting on her lipstick while [...]
Memory Verses A-Z
It’s hard to believe that 2011 is nearly over. For me, it was a year of taking big steps forward in fulfilling some writing dreams. God met me in some exciting ways, and one of those meetings occurred this past summer when I met my new friend Cindy at the Speak Up with Confidence Seminar [...]
The Breakfast
I often forget that God cares about the small details of my life. It’s easy to ask for help and guidance when I have a major issue, like a wrecked relationship. But when I didn’t know what to do about breakfast, I didn’t even think to ask for help; yet He gave it anyway. Read [...]
Around the Web
My friend Susie and I attended the Breathe Writer’s conference this weekend. It was a refreshing and encouraging weekend, and I will be sharing some fun stories about it on Monday. Until then, I wanted to let you know about a few pieces that I’ve had posted around the web recently. I wrote about dealing [...]
Saying Yes to God
It’s been a busy few weeks in our household. We’re in the third week of school, and the routine is setting in for everyone. I’ve talked to a few other moms and we all agree – we feel like we live in the kitchen. Breakfast served, breakfast cleared, pack lunches, get everyone out the door, [...]
What should you not believe?
Don’t believe everything you think. That was a bumper sticker that caught my eye on the highway this weekend. I wished I had read that phrase earlier in the day, before I ran my half marathon as opposed to on the way home from the race. I approached mile 10 that day and started feeling [...]
Detours with Friends
This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending Circle of Friends’ conference with Carol Kent “Between a Rock and a Grace Place.” My friend Susie and I were so excited to leave our young children in the capable hands of their fathers and have a mini girls weekend away. We set out mid afternoon [...]
A little salty
I love everything about fall – the slight chill in the air, skylines filled with color, huddling around bonfires, and pumpkin everything! I think I’ve grown to appreciate the short beauty of fall even more after living in Florida for nearly six years. For some reason, I’ve been especially excited about the fall flavored lattes [...]
Camaraderie on the trail
In case you missed my previous post about the slant-y, wild 13.1 mile half marathon my running-partner-in-crime Jen and I ran this weekend, you’ll want to read that for a bit of framework for this piece. It. Was. Insane. And I will totally do it again next year, even though it hurts to go up [...]
