BEAUTY IN THE MUNDANE We all have a daily routine, one that is repetitive and constant. I know for me, mine is overwhelming and exhausting. We rise, day after day, going about the same business as the day before. We wake early only to do dishes, laundry, cook, clean, tend to our children’s needs, tend to our husband’s needs and the needs of anyone or anything that crosses our path. Try having a job outside of that and you will quickly realize the impossible. If the business is the same, day after day, and it is never completed or accomplished, then this can leave us feeling that life is mundane.…

IN THE WAITING What does it mean to be in the waiting? Do the waiting periods in life mean we sit passively by as life strikes? Does it mean that God is silent? I have hit a rough patch recently with my health and the side effects from chronic Lyme disease. It’s like I can’t catch a break.

As I come across products that have proven to be beneficial to me I will share with all of you. I used to use a skin care product that I loved and I had no negative issues with it what so ever.

In each of my roles there are a many things to do planned and unplanned. How many hours in a day again? How little sleep can I survive…

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction and f thongs not seen”. Why do I have such faith in God and all His goodness? I can’t answer that in a short journal because it took a lifetime of experiences to build. Besides, I can’t take credit for my faith. It was all God.
