Restfully HIS

Would you believe what happened this morning? Nothing. I slept ELEVEN hours last night. And when I woke up, the house was still standing. My people were all okay. The world didn’t stop turning. Nothing happened. Sometimes, we need rest. Sometimes, we need a lot of rest. And sometimes, we can’t pinpoint a reason “why.”Continue reading “Restfully HIS”

ASSUREDLY His

I laughed out loud at a meme a friend posted today detailing how Austria’s airport has an entire help desk dedicated to travelers who land in Austria thinking they were flying to Australia. Apparently so many people make this mistake, they need personnel on hand 24/7 to handle them! Come to find out, this isContinue reading “ASSUREDLY His”

GLEEFULLY His

I tip-toed out the front door of the house to take a phone call so I wouldn’t wake my napping teen in the family room. She’s recovering from surgery. I’d just caught a bowl-full of her vomit and reapplied ice packs to her incision sites. A moment in the sunshine, breeze, and green grass wouldContinue reading “GLEEFULLY His”

NOT-SO-STUPIDLY His

TIMELESSLY His

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, beginnings and endings. That statement has never felt truer than now, as I close out the year 2022 and open the year 2023. For me, 2022 was a year of both slow and sudden change. A year of bittersweet endings and expected beginnings. A year of traumaticContinue reading “TIMELESSLY His”

PRESENTLY His

We really looked forward to this weekend … our first weekend in many weeks when there was nothing scheduled. Recently, we’d moved our oldest into a new apartment while she finishes college. We’d moved our middle child into her first dorm room at a different college. We’d gone to tennis tournaments while supporting our youngestContinue reading “PRESENTLY His”

BLESSEDLY His

I’m a super honest person. Lately, I’ve been struggling with feeling insincere when I casually run into people around town. I got downright nervous recently at the grocery store while waiting in line with my cart of items, anticipating the impending conversation. A typical, short greeting in a situation like this used to go somethingContinue reading “BLESSEDLY His”
