Lessons From the Boat

We are about 6 weeks into the Jonah Bible study by Priscilla Shirer right now.Some of you have read on here or seen me quote or at least mention on Facebook about this study.I absolutely LOVE it!!!It is one of, if not my MOST favorite Bible studies I have ever done.It really does hit home with me at this juncture in my life.

From a few posts ago, you may have read that my heart’s desire is to live each day as a better person than I was the day before.Nothing could be closer to the truth.I am not sure if I have ever been more desiring to see God work in my life.I just truly am trying to figure out what He is teaching me in every aspect of who I am, what I do, who I come in contact with, and how others see me.The problem is, I think my focus {partly} has been wrong.
This past week Priscilla pointed out something in the video session that just struck a cord with me.I mean, really shook me to my core.{Please allow me to paraphrase} She said something to the tune of “When other people look a…

Just Wanted to Be Loved

I was a good kid.  You know like the kind that is deathly afraid of getting in trouble and will melt when you give me "the look."  I am the one that would rather have gotten a spanking than to be told that someone was disappointed in me.  I was a very sensitive child.  Was I perfect?  Heavens no.  I was a child.

October is awareness month for so many causes.  The most common is probably Breast Cancer Awareness Month but near and dear to my heart is

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

It was is a month set aside to remember those babies that have been lost due to miscarriage, stillbirth, illnesses, accidents, etc during pregnancy and after birth under the age of one year old.  In 1988 Ronald Reagan actually dedicated a day in the month to celebrate and remember these babies.  The day that was chosen was October 15th mainly because it fell in the very middle of the month. 

October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.   All across the globe at 7:00 PM there are candles lit in memory and honor of those babies who are gone but not forgotten.  At the hospital where I work, I am the co-chair of the Bereavement Committee and three years ago we started our annual ceremony for this occasion.  We have a speaker, do a responsive reading, and light candles.  We plan…
