We sometimes don’t feel like a giant killer but more like the Giant is killing us.  We say things like ~ I can’t take it any more.  I am never speaking to them again.  I’m taking care of number 1 from now on.  I’m so exhausted.  Life is just too hard. Why?!  I am so […]

This is a journal a friend gave Mom near the end that she never used and it has been where I have written the hardest parts of the journey since losing her. Ya know, when you lose people whether by death or otherwise the front of this journal is true: Your life is a gift […]

I was in my devotion time crying out to God regarding something that was concerning me. I heard that still small voice in my heart say, just ride emotions like a surfer riding waves.
