Trusting God
Everyday Mountaintop Moments
My family recently hiked to a waterfall. It was a fairly long hike, but the waterfall was totally worth it. It was one of those thin places where you feel especially close to God, one of those places where you feel a deep sense of awe of Creation. We took a selfie together, but then … Continue reading
Trusting the Path
My family recently took a trip to the North Georgia Mountains. We have always enjoyed hiking together, so this time, I put my daughter in charge of finding us some trails. We settled on a couple of waterfalls and a swinging bridge which happened to be the longest one east of the Mississippi. The trails … Continue reading
Hydrangea Lessons
I had one single hydrangea bloom this year. It was beautiful and I was thrilled to have it, but I have five hydrangea bushes that were covered in blooms last year, so this year’s crop has been disappointing. I had cut blooms in vases all over my house last year and in a season where … Continue reading
A Prayer for Faith
A few days before a much anticipated celebratory weekend that included a trip to my parents’ house, a visit from my sister, a screening of my daughter’s film for her senior project, a low country boil to celebrate her college graduation, Mother’s Day and graduation, I discovered a lump that shouldn’t have been there. There … Continue reading
Lessons from a Hummingbird
One morning last week, as I tiptoed into the kitchen to get my morning coffee, a little red dot at the window caught my eye and I found myself grinning as I thanked God for the good morning from Him. I had been praying that He would show Himself that morning. We had been through … Continue reading
Trusting the Process
My hubby and I are in the process of getting our house painted. It’s way past time and we have been putting it off. Who wants to spend money on paint? But, there are some window sills that have become bare over the years and they need protection, not to mention it’s just time for … Continue reading
The Boulder Moving Business
Last Sunday my family attended Easter church services which under normal circumstances wouldn’t be unusual, but nothing about this past year has been normal. As expected, the pastor preached about the resurrection from the Gospels, something we all love to hear especially at Easter. Jesus defeated death and rose to save all believers from sin. … Continue reading
The Call to Transform
I have been seeing a lot of butterflies lately which is not unusual for spring time, but I have seen them enough to make a mental note. Then my mom sent a picture of one and I knew I was supposed to be paying attention. I love the timeline of a butterfly. It starts off … Continue reading
Learning to Appreciate the Storms
This past week has been a rough one for me. I will never completely understand how one solitary hour can create such havoc in my life. Last weekend we sprang our clocks forward sacrificing one hour of sleep, but gaining an hour of daylight. I always look forward to the time change and what it … Continue reading
Maybe There Are No Late Bloomers
I was recently in my bedroom, putting away clothes and tidying up, when a bright pink bloom, caught my eye. It was on my Christmas cactus. Delighted, I went and took a closer look. There it was, straining towards the window’s light. The entire plant had been in full bloom in late December and early … Continue reading
