The day after Christmas, Scott took us out for breakfast (except for Kyle: he was tired). As we sat down, the waitress came over to help us. She was very nice, and right off the bat, I found out a lot about her. Continue reading

An Empty Booth
The other night, I had a booth at the Rock. As much as I just wanted to “be” there for others, I was still short on rent and needed to sell some flags.
Right off the bat, a young woman stopped by the booth, entranced by the beauty of the flags. As I told her about them and about my testimony, she filled with joy!
She said, “No way! I’ve never heard anyone be so open like that. I used to be trafficked. No one’s ever said that! I’m just blown away right now! That just made my day! Thank you!” And I believe THAT is why I was supposed to be there, but still, I had hours left and flags to sell, so I was ready for the night (or so I thought). Continue reading
WARNING: an open heart
When I write, I feel. I write “because” I feel, and right now, I’m not feeling so hot, and I know, for me, how God comforts me as I write, so I’m going to lay it all out.
If you don’t want to read about tears, I suggest you move on because as they run down my face, I’ll explain my heart. Continue reading
Full House
Lately, Katie and I’ve been talking about the holiday controversies and what the holidays mean to us. (Warning: this may offend some of you.) As we talked about the different ones, our answers remained the same: family. Continue reading
Above the Barbed Wire Fence
Before I forget, I want to share with you a comical moment from my recent retreat. It didn’t happen “during” but on my way home.
After the official ending time of my retreat, I was invited to stay longer but felt compelled to leave after eating lunch. I figured it was so I could miss traffic, but God had planned something else. Continue reading
Dis…Encouragement
Yesterday was Katie’s and my annual 5K run for the hungry, and I really wanted to give Katie my full attention, so I didn’t take my phone, and thought about not needing it and didn’t take my purse.
About a mile down the road, I asked Katie if she had HER phone, which she did, so I said, “Good because we might run out of gas.” She sighed. Continue reading
An Honest Mechanic
I finally know a mechanic I can trust, and his name is Nacho.
Ever since I first started driving, I’ve encountered mechanical needs, and (almost) everywhere I’ve gone for help, I’ve been talked down to, belittled, overcharged, etc., until now. Continue reading
Crossing Wires
Yesterday, I gave my friend and her dog a ride to one of those mobile neuter buses, and if you know me, that’s a HUGE thing.
Normally, I don’t let animals in my vicinity, let alone my car, but when my friend asked for a ride a little while ago, I didn’t even hesitate to say yes because she’s my friend, and “most of the time,” my love for people overrides my likes or dislikes…most of the time, and I’m so very glad that I let God create our yesterday.
