Sleepy Sundays

I love me a good Sunday afternoon nap. I always feel this amazing calm after spending some good QT with the Lord and my bed is happy to give me a soft place to enjoy my sleepy Sundays. This seems to be the one day of the week that I am able to get both of the kids down at the same time for a GOOD nap so that I am able to get some rest myself. Coincidence?? I think not!

So, thank you Lord for sleepy Sundays! That's all for now.

Perfection

This weekend I am in Louisiana visiting my little brother and his wife to celebrate his college graduation. We are staying in the city that holds some of my fondest memories of my life with Blake as well as a few from my high school days. Today I created another day of simple, but priceless memories in this city that still feels like home to me! The best part of the day began after my afternoon nap(yes, I am applying what I have learned from my previous post). The kids were a little restless with energy that needed to be expended as was I, so my brother took us to a new city park. Evan played with Tyler on the playground while my mom took Katy for a walk so I could go for a long bike ride. I was able to breathe in this environment that my heart at times aches for. Hundreds of trees danced above me singing about their Creator with the rustling of their leaves. Magnolia blossoms caught my nose and reminded me of the sweetness of my great-grandmother who treasured their scent as i...

Hello My Name is Jamie- Part 4

The day that I made the decision to sit down and begin my moral inventory, will forever be etched into my heart. It was a cold and dreary winter day, much like the state of my spirit. In all honesty, I was DREADING the task at hand. Who in their right mind would want to make an account of every painful memory from the past as well as every sin committed against others?!?! As I sat down at a Starbucks with my favorite flavored coffee beverage in hand, I began praying Psalm 129:23, “Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover…if there is any evil in me and guide me in the everlasting way.” I knew that there was pain from my childhood buried so deep that only He would have the power to bring to the surfaces. For so long, I had masked and/or stuffed the wounds in my life, rather than allowing Him to heal them. Within minutes of my prayer, the memories came pouring down like the rain I could hear outside. Just a little side-note, if you ever decide to take a painful j...

I Ran the Rock...well half of it anyways!

Philippians 3:13-14 "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:13 "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Sunday, December 14th, will be treasured in my heart as one of the most amazing days of my life! Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of when Blake ran the White Rock marathon and my very first half-marathon. The months of training leading up to the race have been filled with hours upon hours of running, one foot in front of the other, through shin splints, blisters, bad attitudes, muscle cramps, and pot holes. More than that it was filled with: treasured time with amazing friends(especially my 10 mile turkey trot with Andi and Jerri), incredible time connecting to God through worship and prayer, writing His Word on my h...
