I noticed on the back of an ambulance the other day that had the inscription "in God we trust". I personally have that on my license plate (no hesitation with picking that one). I notice some license plates have that phrase and others don't, and that's okay. But it's something to think about. The first think I think about when I hear that phrase is, as cheesy as it sounds, the movie Miracle on 34th Street. Ever seen it? I've seen both versions, both incredible. But with the second one, the way they exonerated "Santa" was by showing that phrase was written on our currency. We can't prove that God exists but we believe in it enough that we have it on our money. And isn't that what it's all about anyways? We have to believe in something enough to make it "real". And then God can become real, because…

My newest "daily" Bible reading plan. I quite like it so far. Check it out if you are interested!

Who's familiar with this book? Another book in our book club has been started and man, I'll tell you it's interesting! The history of addiction and what exactly it means is probably something we could all learn from. And I'll tell ya, I'd venture to say we might all have a little "addict" in us. Read more to find out and stay tuned to my thoughts!

One thing that I have done for myself on and off over the years is get my nails done. Expense wise it can definitely add up (but what doesn't these days?), but it is something I really enjoy. And a lot of times I can go and truly have some "me time" while the hubby watches the kids. And then there's the days that all 3 kids come with me (because I'm still getting my nails done dang it!). Haha and it's a sight to see, I tell ya. The place I have been going to lately has been really great with it though and surprisingly the kids are not as crazy as one might think haha. But it is still funny chaos (the kind I GET to have today, who would have thunk that??). Either way, I get to add something else to my self help for the week…

I feel like the question I ask so often on here is "where do you see God or feel God?" Because seeing is believing, right? What I don't think about as much is actually listening for God (plus most likely I haven't stopped talking myself so it's a little harder to hear anything haha). I've had such a hard time (at times) over the years distinguishing between my voice (and what I want) vs God's. But what I can tell you is I've been hearing Him lately. Really truly hearing Him. I'm listening. I hear Him say He's proud of me. I have heard Him recently tell me to REST. And that's the okay thing to do. The other day I was so exhausted and started to beat myself up for wanting to lay down while all the kids took an afternoon nap (normally that's the time where I have…

She's a beaut, Clark, just a beaut!

Despite the heat, my husband (not named Clark...if you know the quote, you know haha) really rocked it out with our little garden. We've enjoyed lettuce, cucumbers, squash and zucchini and are still waiting on some tomatoes to come in. Now if we had to survive an apocalypse just eating our veggies, we probably wouldn't make it, but it is a nice notion. I know we would love a green house one day but I suppose we will keep dreaming on that and make that one of our goals. We have done a garden for a few years now, some years it went well and others it was a total flop. But it's a cool hobby to have and fairly inexpensive. Plus if we can save a few bucks at the grocery store on some veggies, I'll take it. We also have a…

Hey y'all from happily ever seeking God! Man, if I truly listen and watch and "be still" as of late I have found that really cool things can happen. Of course I think cool things are happening all the time, I just can't slow down long enough to pay attention to it. I heard a voice the other day, clear as day, (in my head) of "I am proud of you". I have several voices in my head on a pretty consistent basis, those of other people and several of my own (haha), but this one was different. You know if you know. I've heard it several times, on the way to prison, when our pipes burst in our crawl space, when giving birth, just to name a few, but you know that voice, that calm, that peace of it's all going to be okay. It was the God of…
