The Roller Coaster of Faith

The thing about faith is it doesn’t come easy. If it was easy everyone would have it. Faith takes work. It is work to gain faith and to also keep faith. Life in general doesn’t make keeping your faith any easier. All the ups and downs life throws at you makes it very easy toContinue reading “The Roller Coaster of Faith”

Celebrating Mother’s Day In Heaven.

This Mother’s Day is my first without my Mom. Maybe it’s yours too. Maybe it’s the 5th, 10th, or even 40th Mother’s Day you are trying to celebrate while your mom is in Heaven watching. The holidays are always hard since she’s been gone and every one of them hits differently, but this one hitsContinue reading “Celebrating Mother’s Day In Heaven.”

“For When I am Weak, Then I Am Strong” 2 Corinthians 12:9-11

One of life’s lessons that I’ve learned recently is to not look at all the negative things that have gone wrong in it but instead, look at the way those negative things have made your life better in a positive way.I haven’t always thought this way. So don’t think I’m tooting my own horn sayingContinue reading ““For When I am Weak, Then I Am Strong” 2 Corinthians 12:9-11”

Not the end, just the beginning….

We obviously aren’t God and can’t say for sure,Continue reading “The Final Days”

When Life Gives You Lemons…🍋

We’ve all heard the saying, “When life gives you lemons…make lemonade”.

I try to look at the bright side of things and make life as sweetContinue reading “When Life Gives You Lemons…🍋”

The “D” Word

Death, dying, dead. It doesn’t matter how you say it, it’s never easy to explain to a child. I mean, it’s difficult for an adult to really understand but as a child it’s so much more confusing. When I found out my moms diagnosis had a timeline to it, I knew I had to startContinue reading “The “D” Word”

I’m Alive, But I’m Not Living

I’m alive, but I’m not living. These are words spoken by my mom from our visit with her at the hospital. Words I immediately took and stored in my brain because I knew these words meant she’s tired, weak and she’s just over it.She’s here but she can’t really use her legs. Her daily thoughtsContinue reading “I’m Alive, But I’m Not Living”
