My Story

We are all here for a reason. There’s a story inside our lives. There are special, unique circumstances that make us who we are. Things we experience throughout our lives determine the paths we take. All of us make mistakes, nobody is immune to that. We can choose to learn from our mistakes and move forward, or we can choose not to. When we choose to move forward, God opens doors that we have kicked closed. Sometimes God leads us on a journey to teach us to depend on Him. When we are so stubborn and determined because we think we know

Fraud

Jan '19
If I’m being completely transparent (and I totally am), I find it peculiar that I find myself in situations where I need to go back and read my own blogs for encouragement. What is that? WHY is that? If that doesn’t make a person feel like a “fraud”, I don’t know what does. I think this is why we have to keep reaching out to God, because if we find ourselves slipping a bit, we’ll end up in a place wondering how we got there, and in my case, wondering how strong I could’ve been to write the words that I had written “previously” (by going back and reading

I will keep on obeying your instructions
forever and ever.
I will walk in freedom,
for I have devoted myself to Your commandments.
I will speak to kings about Your laws,
and I will not be ashamed.
How I delight in Your commands!
How I love them!
I honor and love Your commands.
I meditate on Your decrees. Psalm 119:44-48

What am I going to do in 2019? There were many milestones that I reached last year. One was making it
to twenty years at Thomson Reuters. Not too shabby for a person who had not stayed anywhere longer

Countdown

Jan '19
Christmas is over. We had so much fun and laughter, sharing and spending time with everyone. The years seem to fly by faster and faster. We have parents, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all together at the same time. What an amazing blessing. We learn to treasure each moment that God gives us because those moments go by so quickly. Our kids grow up in the blink of an eye and we sit and wonder how we got here so fast. We begin to count down the days until the new year begins. We make plans and

We are all familiar with social media. We have friends, followers, or have established online groups where others with similar interests join and collaborate. It’s usually a fun time with these other people on the other side of the screen. They throw likes our way, they comment with compliments or similar points of view and they even give great ideas on various subjects… until they don’t. It’s then that you open up your social media account and see something you don’t like. “Did they really just say that?”, we ask ourselves. We can either be
