…easier said than done…
There are some things that are ‘easier said than done.’ As though it rolls off the tongue with great intention and ease, however, putting those words into action proves to be much more challenging. Easier said than done things for me would be losing that five pounds that would make my jeans feel a little … Continue reading
…spring cleaning…
Welcome May and welcome the time of year for spring cleaning! There is something satisfying about going through that one junk drawer in the kitchen or the dresser drawers in your closet to de-clutter the accumulation of stuff that you stuffed in there because you had no idea where to put in the meantime.

I’ve been dreading about writing this post, mainly because I am not in a place to write such a post and that makes me nervous. I am anxious about putting a post out there for others where I don’t know if I can say that I am fully accomplished at the topic of this post … Continue reading
…forgiveness, the fabric of our lives…
“Be kind to one another; tender-hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 None of us our perfect, nor will we ever be. I know in my own life, I’ve done things that have hurt or disappointed people and sometimes with intention and sometimes not. But I am thankful when those … Continue reading
