Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
While on vacation we like to experience new things. One was the the time we went sailing in Key West. The other thing we really enjoyed was snorkeling but I could share photos of that.

She was such a cute little mite, trying to walk in the grass that was up to her knees over the uneven ground.

She doesn’t want me to help her. Let me hold your hand, I [...]

While I mostly prefer Christian Music, sometimes I will flip through other stations.

I Thought I Loved You Then. You were my friend first, we had so much fun together just hanging out in a group. Then I found out [...]

Have you ever had one of those times when you discover something a little less than desirable about yourself? Like maybe realizing you’re a control freak? I have. Like that time I realized, I really don’t like people telling me how to do stuff. Or that time I was more than annoyed because hubby was right and not me (that’s the norm around here). Or the time we were going out on jet skies on vacation and I refused to [...]

I love children. Plain and simple. Children brighten our lives and they make us laugh, cry, pull our hair out and fall in love with them over and over again.

Parents who care for them, warm clothes, toys, they can go to school and are very privileged. How sad is it that many children [...]
