Who Am I?

Songs often get stuck in my head. Often it isn't anything that I want to keep on replay. Several days ago a song came to me. No worries I am not turning "Nashville" and becoming a song writer. It was an already written song. The recurring verse, "Who am I that you are mindful of me?" I didn't know what God was doing but I was certain there was something moving inside me. So I wrote it on top of the board in my office.

Maybe because I am a little slower to hear or maybe because my timing is not God's timing it didn't come to me until today. All day today I have been singing this verse. Why is this particular song stirring in my spirit? This afternoon at Starbucks over a delicious Peppermint Mocha and a great conversation with one of the precious young ladies that I get the privilege of serving another seemingly unrelated idea came about. We should find a bible study that we could do together. So we headed to Lifeway to seek out the perfect study for such a time and season as this one in both of our lives. After much searching we agreed on, "Being Yourself-How Do I Take Off This Mask?"


I open it this afternoon to dig in and the first three words of the introduction read, "Who are you?" Looks like I  am on a journey to rediscover the ageless question, "Who Am I?" The wonderful thing this time is that I am certain of the great I AM and that is where I begin.

Epilepsy Hitting Too Close To Home

I am sitting in my bed typing with tears streaming down my face and snuggling next to my sweet baby girl. It has been a difficult morning for my momma's heart. Chelsea has been diagnosed with Epilepsy . She has been having what seemed like a slight tick for almost a year and they have become more frequent and been joined by moments of pure catatonic state that last about 30 seconds. I brought up the tick with the pediatrician at her 18 month well visit but he said given her age we should just watch it and take note. Then about two months ago when we were traveling to celebrate my grandpa's 80th birthday Chels had a convulsing seizure. It was to date the worst day of my life. The seizure was accompanied by a fever and the medical team at the hospital felt confident it was a febrile seizure . Which if you don't know 1 in 10 children experience before the age of 2. My brother had experienced this when he was little and given the fact I was 16 at the time remember very clearly

God's Provision

With my new challenge of not buying anything for a full calendar year I have had some really proud moments like, when I walked through Target and only bought disposable razors and draino and some really hard moments like, when I find a great sale on something.  This morning I realized that my smell good soap is almost out and although I am going to buy soap I am only buying the cheapest  I can find with a coupon, of course! And I am having a BAD HAIR week which is really working my resolve to not spend money. SO, I come into work today in a huff over the hair experience. It is like my fun curly hair has decided to go straight? What is up with that?  Here is where the story gets good and God blows me away. A wonderful woman from my church comes into my office to drop off the key to her house (for which I am house-sitting this weekend) and she puts a great big bag on my desk that includes two pair of the killer deal flip flops from Old Navy, a new smell good soap and get ready, a gift c

So I am getting married in 9 days and I am so excited for that to happen, but I would like to give a run down of my week: Monday-Had to have my entire windshield replaced because a rock broke it. Tuesday-Had to have an air inlet tube replaced in my car and learned of new and exciting repairs needed. David brings me to Jazzercise only to have a wreck right outside the church messing up his car. He is okay and the car is drive-able. Wednesday-My car was put back in shop to have the entire brake system (basically) replaced. It's David's birthday and I spend a good part of his birthday dinner crying and asking him what we are going to do with no savings and one income? I am busy telling God how unfair it is that this is all happening this week. What could he possibly be teaching me? Why in the world is all this happening to us? UGHHHHHH!!!!! And how I am so frustrated about all of it. And how I feel like this should be the time in our lives that everything seems to be falli
