Single & Learning
Singleness... This is a topic I rarely broach here. I did write about my "Moves Like Jagger", but that was about it. However, in a recent post, Letter to Me, I included the following: You won't be married by the time you thought you would, but that's ok. We both still have A LOT of growing up … Continue reading Single & Learning
Grace
This word has come up a lot lately. And, knowing I am unworthy of such, sometimes it is hard for me to fathom that He bestows His grace on me anyway.So, today I leave you with this thought:Learning to live as one undeserving of Grace, but having it poured out anyway, it's an amazing gift...God … Continue reading Grace

Unanswered Prayers and Unwalked Paths
"Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talking to the Man upstairs, just because He don't answer, doesn't mean He don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."These are Garth Brooks lyrics that until recently I did not fully understand. I know what the song is about, how he has a … Continue reading Unanswered Prayers and Unwalked Paths

However, rather than waking up and putting all of our energy into our newly established business, my lovely co-owner and I had to go to our day jobs. The jobs that pay the … Continue reading Life: Unmasked – Grace for the Grace-less
