If you’ve followed me long you know I’m also seeking to refine myself, growing, learning, and sharing. It’s a journey I think many of us seek. But what’s I’ve learned is that it must be intentional! The seasons where I’m studying the word, reading inspiring books, and praying I know that I can do all…

How about you?
What if you had something that could change lives? Would you share it? Would you use it for yourself? When you find an amazing sale do you share it or keep it to yourself? As Christians we are called to Love and share like Jesus. When Jesus shared The Way and healed people many did…

Growing Girls
Shelton walked in the bathroom as I was getting ready for church this morning and said “ I’m gonna pick out your clothes and shoes- you will be beautiful” At this point she was dressed in a Lilly shift so I had an idea where this was going. “Tadah – you will match me momma…
Meatball Pho
I was first introduced to Pho 🍲 on Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. We loved watching on Sunday nights to see where Anthony would be and more importantly what he would be eating. On a particular episode Anthony was in Vietnam eating Pho. I was on a mission. I went to the Vietnamese grocery in Memphis,…

Life Lessons
I’ve posted a lot lately about life. Being a wife, mother, teacher, helper, and life lessons along the way. We either grow and change or wither and remain stagnant. The older I get the more I realize God is not through with me yet. Each day I serve a purpose for His plan regardless of…
On Sunday she Rested
Or at least she tried really hard. The more she tries to rest the faster her mind runs. Unlike her six year old, she struggles with sleep or more precisely turning her mind off. It’s kinda like cleaning the house instead of your taxes, studying, grading papers, or whatever more pressing item needs to be…
Two weeks and a father’s love
I love this picture I snapped today after church. It illustrates a father’s love. There are two weeks left until Easter and I’m not ready! I know Lent is 40 days and I’m a planner yet I feel like I’m not ready. Lent is kinda like being pregnant. You are very mindful of everything and…
