3:263 – Pain is Temporary, Memories Last Forever #faithbites #faithjourney temporary Today, we were enjoying the fall weather at Rader Farms. My youngest was playing in the sand pit by herself and was a bit lonely. I got down on my knees and started playing with her. After we were done, I got up slowly and painfully. (It’s been a […]
3:262 – The Waiting Game #faithbites #faithjourney waiting Setting This week we had a leak in our kitchen that went into our bedroom. For the past 48 hours, we’ve had these giant fans going. I’ve been waiting. Waiting for quiet. The bedroom fan is now off but the kitchen is still on, so we wait for quiet. I was thinking […]
3:253 – I’m The Worst Person in The World Setting Last night my youngest was upset, and for the second time in as many nights, said she was the worst person in the world.

Other days it’s good and we get something out of it. Then there are special days like today, when they hit a nerve. Today’s was how do we as […]
3:229 – All Means All #faithbites #faithjourney all Setting I was moved today by our Pastor’s sermon today entitled: You Are All One in Christ Jesus. In this message, it doesn’t matter where we came from, who we are, or what we have done, we are all children of the same God. If we look at someone and the first […]
3:225 – Feeling Less Than #faithbites #faithjourney less Setting Today, I woke up early with a near panic attack. No trigger, no warning, just anxiety gone crazy. Took some meds and still wasn’t feeling like myself. I was less than normal, less than I wanted to be. Went through the day like that, still living life, being friendly, getting things […]
3:223 – God Plans, We Choose Our Response #faithbites #faithjourney choose Setting I often hear that it’s God’s plan for x,y,z. God made the storm. He made the virus. He will protect me.

3:213 – And Peggy. You Are Not A Throwaway #faithbites #faithjourney #hamilton peggy Setting My best friend and daughter love the musical “Hamilton“. I haven’t seen it yet but they told me about a character named Peggy. Basically, in the song they say “Angelica! Eliza! And Peggy!”. Peggy is such a non-character that she doesn’t show up in the second act. She […]
