Goals
A New Record!
Timmy (7) beat his pogo jumping record which was 877 or something close to that. Today he jumped 4,991! Give or take a couple of jumps. I lost count several times! I’m still amazed at his jumping skill and decided next time to strap a pedometer on him or my husband suggested just timing how…
Dream Vanity
What little girl wouldn’t love this precious vanity set? We bought Grace a Target Vanity and “Dress Up” closet a couple of years ago, knowing that she was indeed a girlie, girl, yet all rough and tumble underneath. We didn’t want to invest in something that she would most likely destroy by the time she…
But What About ME?
The box in the barn had a few mouse nibbles in the corners, but the contents were surprisingly intact. While sorting through our 25-year pile of stored and forgotten items, I found that most of the things should have been thrown out long ago. But this disintegrating container held a treasure trove. It was a…
Boring Yourself
There are certain things in life that I really wanted to get right-especially those things I knew I would only have one shot at. I don’t know why exactly, but I’ve always lived my life thinking about what I want to be proud of years from now when my grandchildren ask about my life. That…
Need More Time in Your Day?
Email addiction! Lots of people have it. If you don’t, you’re probably in denial! I really didn’t miss checking my email twenty bazillion times a day when I was on vacation. So what is the urgency to check it every five seconds? Okay, I’m exaggerating, but I think you get what I’m saying. Is it…
7,574 and Counting
Last night was productive and today I’ve written 4,774 words and the night is still young. It’s amazing what a little time to sit down and write can do for me. The story is coming faster than I can type, though I’m sure I’ll have to go back and iron out the details and plotting.…
What Will I Ever Do?
I have a whole week with three of my four kids in VBS all morning! I can’t remember the last time I had so much freedom! Sure, I plan on exercising, renewing my neglected Bible study and writing! I’d love to write 1,000 words a day. But I also have another goal of finishing my…
I Want Them to Say…
The other night I got to talk extensively with one of my favorite Holy Spirit friends-my sister. Since we both have families to keep up with now, that doesn’t happen as often as it used to, so we really took advantage of this time. Late into the night we talked about what God is doing…
Getting into the Writing Groove
As I type this, I’m hoping the ceiling above me doesn’t come crashing down. Boom-da-da-boom! There are two girls in the room above, my daughters, who are dancing a jig. An Irish step dance. It’s highly addictive and they’ve been at it for hours. I think they’ve finally found their groove. Last week they attended…
Spring Reading Thing UPDATE
You may not have noticed by my reading list has changed a bit since I started it weeks ago. This is due to the fact I’ve joined the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance and they’re sending me books to review. So I’ve added the books to my current list. **Highly Recommend Non-Ficiton Power of a Praying…
