So today I thought I would write about myself…oh wait…I do that every time! Seriously though, this time I want to bare my soul and talk about self esteem. Do you struggle with that too? All my life, as far back as I can remember I have wanted to create things. When I was 8Continue reading “Self Esteem & Art & Why Am I Amazed?”

Here we go again…
This post has been swirling around in my mind for weeks. My emotions are all over the map these days because it is time to move again. Sigh….. It’s been a short 5 years since we moved to Central Texas to plant a church. I’ve written a lot about being the wife of a churchContinue reading “Here we go again…”
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up….
I’ve probably written about this before. If I have…just scroll on by. My life as the spouse of a church planter is never dull. Exciting, stressful, painful but NEVER dull! Let’s talk about the exciting part first. The realization of seeing God at work is the most thrilling thing I can think of…next to gettingContinue reading “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up….”
Vacation Clarity
Finally….we were able to take much needed vacation. Life has been so busy lately, with no time for extended rest and relaxation. I believe we all tend to put aside the time for real rest…soul rest, maybe not even realizing how important it really is for our spiritual and physical well being. So…a week atContinue reading “Vacation Clarity”
Repeat…And Why Am I A Slow Learner?…..
So today I started a new post…and then I reread the last one I wrote called “A Mumpy Dumpy Day” https://whyamiamazed.com/2021/06/22/a-mumpy-dumpy-day/ and instead of rewriting I will just repost. Same thoughts today as it continues to rain…(definitely over it!) I hope this encourages you to turn to scripture on those days that you feel “downContinue reading “Repeat…And Why Am I A Slow Learner?…..”
A Mumpy Dumpy Day
You’ve heard me say over and over that I look to God daily to amaze me with His grace and glory. I do look for Him daily….but today I do not feel the amazement. Have you ever just been down in the dumps? Nothing seems to be going right…or wrong…just nothing. Maybe you are waitingContinue reading “A Mumpy Dumpy Day”
Surgery…and why God still amazes me!
So, a few weeks ago I had to have a minor surgery…gallbladder removal to be exact. Y’all are probably thinking..no big deal….right? Well for me, it was a big deal. I have not had many surgeries and was a little proud of that, not to mention that I really have a huge fear of beingContinue reading “Surgery…and why God still amazes me!”
He Is Risen!
I am still basking in the glow of Easter. A much anticipated celebration after the reverence and contemplation of 40 days of Lent. I have to admit that sometimes I am anxious for it all to be over and by that I mean all of the extra church practices of the season (you know…special music,Continue reading “He Is Risen!”
Spring
Here in Texas we have had quite an eventful winter…snow (unusual) more snow (really unusual) and then an epic ice storm (beyond unusual). Add all that to a pandemic that has lasted a year so far and I wonder just WHAT. IS. NEXT? HAVEN’T WE HAD ENOUGH? As I was rereading my previous post “SnowContinue reading “Spring”
Longest . Week . Ever
Maybe you have heard…Texas experienced an EPIC ice storm and very cold temperatures this week. It seems most of the country was very cold as well. But here in Texas, thousands of folks had no heat or water for days. Some experienced frozen and broken pipes and I won’t even mention the frozen plants andContinue reading “Longest . Week . Ever”
