Trust...The Greatest Act Of Faith

There is a song that has become my anthem because no matter what I am going through or where I'm at, I know it stands true! "I Will Trust" [Verse 1] There was a time I truly believed That I could do it on my own But all that I found at the end of that road is That concept for me was all wrong but I  found a savior who turned me around And he placed his love on me And I will trust in You till my last heartbeat Some put their trust in earthly possessions But in the end it won't bring them through I will not lean to my own understanding But with my whole heart here's what I'll do: [Chorus] I will trust (Trust in the name of The Lord) In the name (Trust in the name of The Lord) Of The Lord (Lord, I will...) Lord, I'll trust in You I will trust (Trust in the name of The Lord) In the name (Trust in the name of The Lord) Of The Lord (For I know) He will see me through [Verse 2:] Don't put your trust in

Oh, The Stages We Go

I honestly believe it's our human nature to think, analyze and often times self-destruct because of it. Why is it hard to believe that every area of our lives could be amazing?  It's ok to not be perfect.... NEWS FLASH, you were never perfect in the first place.

It's not to say you aren't happy making those around you happy..... I feel like I'm writing a Dr. Seuss book! Women are hard wired to serve and do. We love to give gifts, cook, bake, clean, build, play etc. So, we are natura

I thought you were a Toys'R'Us kid??

We've all heard the jingle "I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys'R'Us kid" I like to picture my boys as the Little Rascals all cute and innocent asking each other "quick what's the number to 911?" Then before you know it.... They are asking for deodorant and looking at girls! Where does time go??? I think the hardest part is knowing we can't hold their hearts forever and we can't always protect our children from hurt! My 7 year old is at his first Summer Camp this week and it hit me that in 3 years he will be a camper at our GDYD Teen Camp!!! What?!? We don't have our children long so, we must savor, cherish and appreciate every moment! Where has the time gone? My baby is a boy now and I couldn't be more proud! He's compassionate, caring, loving, considerate, good and so much more! I have learned to slow down and appreciate life's moments with my 2 boys. They are a gift on loan for a short while and I am grateful I was ch
