Get going with the joy of the Lord!
I find myself not wanting to wait until tomorrow. I’m excited for it in some way. I’m this new coming day, here are some of the things I intend to do: 1). Find a new computer (and buy some other much-needed supplies on the tax-free weekend!) 2). Order groceries. While this may seem like, “hmm, […]
Simple steps make the difference
It’s the simple steps you take that can make so much difference. I’ve been busy getting things done, but wanted a quick dinner option that didn’t require too much movement. My husband had made a nice pasta & brats medley that I really enjoyed. We were both looking for something quick and with minimal effort. […]
Inspired by the rain
There’s something about a rainy day that makes you just want to snuggle up and do no work at all. But, while the world has slowed down all around you, it creates the the perfect opportunity to get much farther ahead. So today, I cozied up to my hutch and quietly powered through some much-needed […]
A Good Old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday
We woke up today to a good old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday – if you’re from the south, you know that means cleaning, enjoying the calm, peace, and fresh scents, and – grits. I thank God for my home. I love every bit of it. And I really enjoy those days where the Lord’s Spirit just takes […]

Substitutions Likely: My Coffee Crumble Cake!
I made my first coffee crumble cake today! My recipe calls for sour cream, and I was a little short, but I made do with what I had! As a baker, you learn how to stretch what you do have and make proper substitutions when necessary. I had so much fun making this cake. My […]
Being Effective in God’s Pattern
I thank the Lord for helping me find #obedience, #clarity, and #joy today. From start to finish, God challenged me to respond to His voice and to complete things in His way today. He encouraged me and reminded me of my commitment to Him every step of the way so that I would see clarity […]
The joy in homemaking
The past few days my energy has been really low, and I wasn’t really feeling the best. I’d been wanting to get a few things done inside of my home, but I just didn’t have the energy. But tonight, God gave me a little “boost” to allow me to satisfy some of the smaller things […]
