  Do you ever wish you were something other than what you are?  This week I wished I was a basketball player.  Don’t laugh.  There are a million ways we wish we were different…wonder what our lives would look and feel like…if only.  Take some time this weekend to consider who you ARE…where you ARE….and

What I Learned in January

I L.O.V.E. learning and growing for all sorts of different reasons.  If you need a reason to keep things fresh in your life, here you go…. I have heard it said that the reason it feels like life is going faster and faster is that there are no longer new experiences to create new feelings

Weekend Delights…Hush, Hands, Hilarious, Heavenly

H.U.S.H. Jesus, help us find rest this weekend.  Not the kind of “rest” where we force our bodies to be still while on the inside we are still scurrying and doing and striving and chaotic…. but the kind of rest where when your body stops so does your mind and your soul exhales too and
