What’s Wrong with Me?
“Don’t let yourself bring you down.” Unknown “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” I say this too often. I repeat it again and again when, truth be told, I do know what’s wrong with me. And I know how to fix it, but I don’t do it. And that’s what’s wrong – I let myself down. Instead of admitting I’m avoiding the top priority on my to-do list,...
One Foot On a Banana Peel, the Other at Kentucky Fried Chicken (a post about answering our calling at the age we are)
“The days you work are the best days.” Georgia O'Keeffe Four blog posts ago, I wrote “Choose Well” about sitting still so as not to miss the magic. This week’s post is about working, and for the same reason … so we don’t miss the magic. A phone conversation gave me the idea for this post when a friend almost half my age said, “I’m afraid I’m...
Called to What?
Today’s writing is more a blog list than a post. With every click, another piece of inspiration showed up that I wanted to share. I couldn’t narrow "our calling" down to a story, so I decided to include it all - quotes, links, and insights, especially since working our calling is the essence of what I blog about. It’s our way of getting our...
Family is Not My Calling
"Sometimes we have to figure out what our calling is not in order to find out what it is." s. kim henson No doubt there are moms and dads called to full-time parenting, grandparents called to full-time grandparenting, and wives, daughters, and sisters called to helping their families around the clock, but I’m not one them. Not now,...
Change Only Me
“If we had God's power, we would change everything. If we had God's wisdom, we'd change nothing." Scott Richardson If you’re a parent, especially a mother, you likely know the feeling when family gathers all together after not seeing each other for a while. Sometimes our hearts are full because of conversation and laughter, meals at...
Choose Well (a distracted Martha in a world that admires merry Mary)
“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” Nelson Mandela I’ve heard about Martha and Mary so often, I almost zoned out during Sunday’s sermon because the message is always the same, “Be merry like Mary.” The biblical story (Luke 10:38-42 NIV) is about Martha preparing the house and food, and worrying about many things. While she...
Nice Talking with You (positivity and truth … is it either-or?)
“Say what you mean, but don’t say it mean.” Anonymous I’ve written a lot lately about speaking up. Next thing I know, I’m also speaking up on my vlog, but this time it’s about being quiet unless we frame what we say in a positive light, in a way that tells what we stand for instead of what we stand against. I questioned if I’d contradicted...
