“Freedom to Create”

When I was a little girl, I had dreams: dreams of becoming a mom, dreams of becoming a teacher, dreams of being loved, etc., and along the way, some of those dreams were forgotten (or stolen), and I lived my life as an adult in a place of settling because this-was-just-the-way-it-was-going-to-be. Of course, that was a lie from the pit of hell, but it sure did pull me down to that pit with it, until God… Continue reading

The Ultimate ‘Laugh Out Loud’

Yesterday, as I was working on flags, I used the earphones that came with my iPhone and listened to Graham Cooke speaking over me the things God was telling him…talk about POWERFUL! Recently, I saw the movie “John Wick” and mentioned how I’d like to be like HIM in the spiritual realm. While listening to this word, that’s how I felt. Continue reading

LOLLL

A couple months ago, a friend told me that her kids wanted to use this…LOLLL: Laugh Out Loud Like Laura. Well, they love my laugh, and the man in this picture does, too, and is one of the best principal’s in the world! Continue reading

Divine Friendship

Yesterday was a busy day: emergency room in the morning, lunch in the park with Lee, caring for Nathan, and meeting a friend at UTC mall to catch up a little, but little did we know, our catching up had a purpose in heaven, and the encounter must’ve scared the enemy back to hell.

Chris and I had a plan to meet at the mall to talk about Kingdom living, but what we had planned was totally different than what heaven was brewing. When we searched for a place to sit, the only shaded area was next to a woman, who was about to leave, so we sat next to her (thinking we were taking her spot) and ended up getting to know her for over two hours. It was amazing! Continue reading

Passing the Test

Last week, I had gone to the park to surprise Lee, and boy, was he surprised! As I walked up, he was reading, so his head was down, and when I said my usual, “Hi, Lee!”, his whole body smiled. He was so happy. Well, yesterday, he was surprised with another visit, but this time, Barry went down there, too.

Class of Beauty

Recently, I came across this picture of two young ladies being sent off to prom. Do you notice anything different about them? Well, as I’ve been seeing a lot of prom pictures, I’m surprised they even let girls wear some of the stuff they wear. They show so much skin, but these two young ladies are completely covered and completely gorgeous!11334127_10205278276730688_1059958614798550353_o

I remember, not so much in high school but in my dancing days, showing as much skin as possible. I thought, “The more I show, the more chance you’ll want me.” I’m not sure if that’s the case with teenagers, but it sure is sad how little clothing they wear, even to prom.

I asked my friend if I could share this picture because my privacy setting is on “public,” so there’s that chance that a lot of people would see it. I’m so glad she let me because I want everyone to see the beauty of class, the beauty of covering up, the beauty of modesty. It’s striking and rare and a real jewel in God’s crown.

Wouldn’t it be neat if a picture like THIS went viral?!
