3:199 – Purge the Clutter #faithbites #faithjourney #clutter Setting Maybe I have a little Marie Kondo in me, but lately, I’ve felt the need to clear out the clutter. If it doesn’t bring me joy, away it goes. Last week we had our city bulk collection and we threw out a ton of stuff from the garage. Could I have […]
3:195 – How Do You See the World? #faithbites #faithjourney world Setting This morning, after taking my dog for a walk, I let him hang out on the deck. He sat there motionless just staring at the world. I wondered what he was looking at. Was it the birds in the trees or the bunnies running around? Maybe he was […]
3:166 – Come Out Of Your Corners #faithbites #faithjourney corners Setting I know life experiences color how you see things. When I was younger,I believed there were many more people I’m the center. Folks could debate, argue, and compromise. We could be in the center and understand that we wouldn’t always agree, but we could live. I know that is […]
3:155: Accepting A Helping Hand #faithbites #faithjourney hand I am blessed that my best friend is being a nanny for the girls. It’s been a long 10 weeks and getting extra help is amazing. At the same time, it’s hard to accept help. From helping with the kids, to helping clean, to getting me a drink, it is hard to […]
3:139 – Something To Look Forward To #faithbites #faithjourney Something The days are getting longer, both literally (summer) and figuratively (COVID-19 quarantine). I have noticed not only in my own demeanor but in others, tiredness, depression, and gloominess. It is like we are living in the movie Groundhog’s Day. The days just keep going and we are stuck. The problem […]
3:126 – I Hope You Can Count On Me #faithbites #faithjourney count Are you reliable? Would your friends and coworkers answer the same way? Lately, I’ve been wondering if I am reliable. I have always thought I was, but lately between physical and mental aliments, I wonder. How many things have I let fall through the cracks? How many people […]
3:112 – Hold Me Tighter #faithbites #faithjourney tighter Today was not a good day at Case del Sol. Between construction workers, internet woes, home schooling, and tired children, it was a bit rough. My youngest was having an extremely rough day with several breakdowns. I was close several times to spanking her. When I was about to, I realized how […]
3:108 – We’re All In This Together #faithbites #faithjourney #Disney all Last night, we danced and sung to the Disney Family Sing-A-Long. It features the reunion of the High School Musical Cast singing We’re All In This Together. This is as true now with COVID-19 as it was then. And while we, to quote Reel Big Fish, are all different […]
3:102 – Reflection Saturday #faithbites #faithjourney #holyweek reflection The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is usually called Holy Saturday or Reflection Saturday. It’s a say to reflect on what Jesus’s sacrifice means to you and how it has impacted your life. I was lying on my bed this afternoon trying to reflect on this but everything I “had […]
3:100 – Sacrifice: It’s Not About You #faithbites #faithjourney #holyweek sacrifice “I can’t go outside.” “My freedom to do things is being taken away.” “An economic collapse is bad for me. Open America.” I have heard these sayings and many more like them in these days of shelter-in-place for COVID-19. This is where the I is more important than the […]
