We’ve all done. We pick up our phone to check one more time to see if they responded (probably about the 8th time we’ve done so in about 30 minutes). “How could they not respond?” “Are they ignoring me?” “Did I say the wrong thing?” “Are they mad?” “No…maybe they just have an attitude.” “What is … Continue reading Watch Where You Jump!

Is It Time to Breakup??
It’s long overdue. The time has come to finally end things. Saying good-bye is rarely easy. Breakups are painful, yet at times they are absolutely necessary. Breakups can cause you to doubt yourself and your decisions. Reminders are often everywhere of what you’re leaving behind, making it that much more difficult to move on. You … Continue reading Is It Time to Breakup??
What If You’re the Only One?
Many of us have had it. That amazing idea, thought, or dream that may seem just a bit crazy to everyone else. Yet, every ounce of you believes that you can make it happen. I heard one of my favorite pastors say once that there are good ideas and there are God ideas. This idea … Continue reading What If You’re the Only One?
I Can’t Move! (Growth after Pain)
Jadyn started her athletics conditioning for school this week. The past few days for me have been filled with both empathy and a of bit laughter, as I watch my daughter shuffle around the house with pain in every part of her body. This got me thinking about pain. Pain comes in all forms—emotional, physical, … Continue reading I Can’t Move! (Growth after Pain)
After the Fire Came a Whisper
Sometimes, I think the image that many have of God is that of Morgan Freeman in the movie Bruce Almighty,where he has a booming, deep voice, and walks around in a white Armani suit (ok maybe not the second part). But we certainly often visualize Him as being loud. Many a great-grandmother has told her grandchildren … Continue reading After the Fire Came a Whisper
Why Didn’t You Just Say That?
A few days ago, I took my daughter to pick up her very first job application. With this came explanations on my end on how to fill it out, what the process looks like, and what to expect if she got a call (insert mom tears here that my baby is no longer a baby). … Continue reading Why Didn’t You Just Say That?
How Tight Is Your R.O.P.E.?
What is your thing? We all have one (or many). You know what I’m talking about. Those “things” that annoy us just enough to where they become core to our belief system. Tardiness. Excuses. Negativity. I admittedly struggle at times with accepting these characteristics from others, especially when they’re repetitive. Yet on the positive side … Continue reading How Tight Is Your R.O.P.E.?
My Own Miracle (MOM): A Different Perspective on Mother’s Day
Whether we think about it or not, Mother’s Day is often a day that can bring on an array of emotions for many people. With the flip of a channel, there’s no shortage of commercials with smiling moms receiving jewelry, cards, spa days, and flowers. What we sometimes forget through all the smiling faces on … Continue reading My Own Miracle (MOM): A Different Perspective on Mother’s Day
Does Your Front Match Your Back?
“How many of you act the same way all the time, no matter who you’re around?” This is one of my favorite class discussion questions I ask my students in my sociology class. In a class of about 200 students, I may have about only 10 or so students (if that) raise their hands. From there … Continue reading Does Your Front Match Your Back?
Personal Boundary…No Trespassing!
As funny as it may sound, a few of the things I think of when it comes to boundaries are the walls and fences at the zoo that keep us and the animals from getting too close to each other (God forbid!), a ball that crosses over a set line in most sports, and personal … Continue reading Personal Boundary…No Trespassing!
