My grandma used to tell me, 'Just wait. Life keeps going faster." It's just hard to believe that when it already feels like it's flying by. It's become so true. With every new year, child, life change, etc. it just feels like this year was faster than last. Well, today I'm going to review what … Continue reading It’s never how we planned…
I already told her that I see it coming. I can picture it so perfect in my mind already as I stand back and view the beauty in that room. All of the Christmas lights and decorations, the round tables and buzz of laughter and conversations. These moments where we all gather and celebrate. I … Continue reading Coming to a close.
Usually when I sit down to write I've spent quite a bit of time processing these jumbling feelings, thoughts and emotions. My heart spends quite a bit of time mulling over the racing thoughts that come over and over. It's like brushing my daughter's hair... each passing stroke more of the tangles loosen but usually … Continue reading Organizing thoughts.
Today I posted the first encouraging video to The Encouraging Voice youtube channel since dropping all of my licenses. It'd been since the summer I think since I posted my last one and I was just dissatisfied with what I was producing. Yes, I was getting some aspects of things slowly, and yes there's truth … Continue reading Hang in There, Friend…
I'm sorry if these last few pieces have been a bit deeper. I hope you're up for it, but honestly if you aren't then it's truly ok. Read what you need today and skip mine. I'm not hurt or offended. This isn't for everyone. I've tried to sit down and write cheery little articles that … Continue reading Laughing at the Future…
I stand across from her and see the tears begin to emerge, and the way the face fights and cringes at the pain within. It's overwhelming and freeing all at the same time. For those that are healing or have found healing it's a reminder of our testimony and how God parted the great seas … Continue reading I’m Coming for You, Friend…
I pulled up the obituary today because I remember it was a Thursday but I forgot if it was the 14th or the 12th. It's been about 2 and a half years now. So much time, and yet not much at all. It was the 12th. Oh yeah, right. The day before Friday the 13th. … Continue reading Thank you for Responding…
As the tires leave the pavement my van dips and gives into the gravel and I swing through the open gates. There's something about the sound of gritting stones and dirt underneath me that fuels the adventure leaping within my heart. A couple of pickups are parked way across the lot with empty boat trailers. … Continue reading Bringing back my childhood magic…
At a nice and steady 68mph today we zipped down 23 with excitement and yet this sense of easy peace. Going south of the Michigan border usually finds me impatient at our neighbors' crawling speed limit but today there was no rush. Just us and adventure awaited! With plenty of time to get there, great … Continue reading Preparing for the Change…
So an accountant got up and dressed about a month or so back around 4:30 in the morning to go ride along on a 12 hour shift with two paramedics for a day. She's just been a stay at home mom/wife for the past couple years. Just kinda doing her thing and just so happened … Continue reading Riding Along; Invited in.
