3:294 – Throwing In The Towel #faithbites #faithjourney towel Setting Today has been a rough day. Internet down. Kids both sick at home. Kids picking on each other. It’s been rough. I’m exhausted. Today was a day when I had plans to get a good chunk of my dissertation revised but that didn’t happen and now I’m feeling sick, tired, […]
3:288 – Take Away To Win #faithbites #faithjourney away Setting Have you ever had something taken away from you that you were passionate about? Maybe there was a project or task that you loved doing and now someone else is responsible for it. It hurts to see that happen. You have put time and energy into it and now it’s […]
3:296 – President Sol – The Change We Need #faithbites #faithjourney president Setting On my way to vote today, I thought a lot about when I was a kid, as I wanted to be President of the United States. I thought that the President was the only person who could really make change in the world. As I grew older, […]
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. That everything she does is wrong and she’s terrible. Those words tore at my heart. Where had she heard this? Was this because I was getting […]

3:144 – Try A Different Approach #faithbites #faithjourney approach Tonight my youngest just didn’t want to listen to me. No matter what I said or did, it wasn’t clicking.

3:141 – If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes #faihbites #faithjourney changes In chemistry and physics, a closed system at rest will stay at rest until something changes. Change the temperature, increase the pressure, add something to the system, and you have a change. The same is true in our life. If we don’t make a change, nothing will change. I found […]
3:138 – It’s Not About You, It’s About Us #faithbites #faithjourney Us When I was in High School, I did Lincoln-Douglas debating. It is a style of debating where you have one topic and each debater takes different sides of the argument. I really enjoyed.

3:37 – How Many Spoons Do You Have? #faithbites #faithjourney Spoons I’m tried. Between work, school, health, family, and everything, I’m tired.
