What I have to keep in mind is that people will give you advice based on their own personal experiences, their mindsets, and the way they view the world and other people. It’s so easy to get caught up in another person’s opinion about a thing. I have to be very very careful with that…

Addictions
Day 13 A friend is struggling with something addictive. Something that she knows isn’t good for her but takes part in it anyway. Something that could drive her life into total chaos–and in fact, has–but still can’t seem to totally let it go. It seems so obvious and clear that it is not good for…
A Minor Delay- Day 12
I’m learning not to sweat the small stuff. I’m learning that this entire moving process, this whole uprooting my life, this starting over business is going to take some time to get used to. It’s going to be chaotic at times. There are going to be delays. And things are going to be all over…
The Coffee Butterfly Effect
Day 12 How did I end up here? Drastically searching for a towel…any towel, something to soak up the mess. Where do I start first? It’s all wet and with each passing second, brown stains are etching their way into a status of permanent damage. Damage to the carpet, walls…it’s everywhere. Stains on pictures, iPads,…
Memorial Days of Our Lives
Day 11 All weekend we have been celebrating Memorial Day….or the days leading up to the day. Family time, time off of work, BBQs, fishing and whatever else comes up. Moments of silence. There really isn’t a good way to remember or actually memorialize the sacrifice that has been paid for us. Or is there?…
Southern Hospitality – Day 11
I’m thankful for the southern hospitality that I’ve received since I’ve been here. I was invited to a family BBQ today in Millington, Tennessee. I was welcomed with open arms. The food was amazing, of course! (I tend to talk a lot about food I’m noticing.) I got to sit outside in the back and…
MLK – Day 10
I had the opportunity to visit the National Civil Rights Museum today. This was not something on my bucket list, or even close to something I just wanted to do. But I live in Memphis now, and part of living in Memphis is means living in a part of history. As I approached the historic…
Making Space
Day 10 Story goes, Jesus was preaching in Capernaum as His ministry was getting started. Outside, laid a man on a mat, paralyzed, who couldn’t get in to Jesus because of the crowd surrounding Jesus inside. The crowd kept the man that needed to be healed from getting to Jesus. There was no space for…
Rendezvous…4 Year Vacation. – Day 9
Today, God showed me pockets of sunshine, which I prayed for. My trip to Walmart was a much better experience than yesterday’s. I traveled down beautiful highways, free of the congestion I was used to back at home. I met nice people. Ate at a popular place called Rendezvous (the food was great!). Saw Graceland…
CHANGE
CHANGE It’s hard to imagine a life without change… Change of heart, Change of place, Change of mind… Every part of me has evolved due to change, Every part of me intrinsically desires moments strange, Searching for the newness within me that has aged to perfection, Aged especially for the need of this perfect moment….
