I am a hard worker. I like to put forth my best work when I’m teaching, performing, or writing. When it comes to things that I know that other people will see, I want to make sure that I put forth my best work. It’s the stuff behind the scenes that I can get […]

REST
I’m sitting here on my couch alone in my quiet house. My husband is at work. My kids are at school, and the only noise is the ticking of the clock. Well, and my dog licking her feet. Strange pup. I called into work to tell them that I wasn’t going to come in […]
OVERWHELMED
So, It’s been a while. I took a break over Christmas because, when you are a music teacher in charge of the annual Holiday concert, have two kids and a husband to shop for, and cookies to bake, things get crazy busy. Plus, as if I didn’t have enough on my plate, my husband […]
CHRISTMAS SHEEP
As I might have mentioned once or twice before, I am currently reading through the One-Year Bible. For the past few weeks, I have been reading through the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel, like the other prophets, told Israel how they were sinning, and God was really mad about it. They needed to turn from their […]
BUT GOD…
Have you ever been driving an everyday route and noticed a business for the first time. You get all excited about this new gem you’ve discovered, only to find out that it’s been there for 10 years, or something crazy like that? When I drive, I don’t see the businesses that line either side of […]
THANKFULNESS
This past Thursday was my favorite holiday of all: Thanksgiving. I love the idea of taking a day to reflect and be grateful for all the blessings in our lives, all while eating super yummy and overly carby food. Sometimes, it’s easy to find things to be thankful for. The food before us; the […]
IDENTITY CRISIS
I’ve only been blogging for about two months now, and I’m already having an identity crisis about how I should be blogging. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved sharing with you what God has been showing me over the past two months, but I feel like in some ways I haven’t been writing a blog […]
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF
I’d like to think that I am a pretty loyal and dedicated friend. I may not be as close to some friends as I once was, which happens as people grow up and move away, but when I do reunite with those I was once close to, it is like we never left one […]
THROUGH THE STORM?
Yesterday, I participated in my second half marathon. Last year I was able to run most of the 13.1 miles, but due to injury, this year I walked the race. The concern of having the race cancelled was on a lot of people’s minds. Forecasters predicted rain with a chance of lightning. The rain wasn’t […]
FORTY-FIVE
There is something beautiful about listening to music on a 45. Now, I may not be old enough to remember when 45’s came out (for those of you who don’t know what a 45 is, it’s a record that was listened to at 45 revolutions per minute… KNOW YOUR ROOTS!!!), but I can appreciate the […]
