Fear is real, but God is a lion

For me, brain surgery is scary. There is real fear in this. All of my joking aside, there’s a real part of me that is actually terrified. I know God has this, yes. I know God has a plan, yes.

Outsiders

I survived Thanksgiving!

I also went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving where I had a small bite of turkey and dressing, but chose fish, Brussels sprouts and steamed spinach for my meal.  I did however, eat a whole freakin’ piece of pumpkin pie…and it was heaven.

I love that my kiddos (and even my husband) are super supportive of my diet though.  I asked my son for a small bite of his candy the other day and you know what he replied with?  “You can’t have that, Mommy.  It’s not…

When you finally realize it works…

As a person who is now getting the point of burying my grandparents and other relatives I see starting to get older, I’m realizing how important these memories are.  Pictures can’t be replaced.  They tell a story.  Bad or good, they show us for what we were at a certain point in time and they are to serve as a marker…a kind of…
