Distractions
My life is full of distractions. Some say it is just the season of life with pre-school aged children. But I refuse to believe that it is just a season. I know that my kids will provide fewer distractions as they get older, but I still believe that there must be a way for me [...]
Road Signs – Psalm 119:10
I am reading through the Bible this year and this was part of my reading today. Psalm 119: 1-16 (MSG) 1You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. 2 You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. 3 That’s right—you don’t go off [...]
Discovery Center Trip
While the kids and I were hanging out in Tennessee, we found the Murfreesboro Discovery Center. It was a hands on museum of sorts where the kids had a blast pretending, painting, and creating. I think that we will have to go back there again when Faith can go with us and show her all [...]

Friday Weigh In Week #30
Last Week’s Weight – 269 lbs. This Week’s Weight – 269.6 lbs. Total Weight Loss Since Jan 1st – 9.8 lbs. Ok, so I am going backwards a little bit this week. I feel like it is getting better though. It is still very difficult being at home. It has also been super hot outside [...]
Friday Weigh In Week #29
Last Week’s Weight – 264.6 lbs. This Week’s Weight – 269 lbs. Total Weight Loss Since Jan 1st – 10.4 lbs. It has been a rough couple of weeks on the diet. I am up 4.4 lbs from 2 weeks ago. I am definitely a stress eater. Being home all of the time has proved [...]
Good Intentions Are Not Good Enough
The Vineyard is doing a series right now called Perfect Takes Practice. It is based on the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. This is the most complete sermon of Jesus that we have recorded in the Bible. Matthew 5:8 says, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” To learn how to [...]
