I am so glad we do not walk alone in our journey's. I am thankful for friends and family who love me and care for me. I am thankful for the whole Armor of God that I can proudly adorn. Some days even the littlest of issues can stir up fear in me. Becoming overwhelmed is only one fear-filled thought away. The way in which we have conversations with ourselves direct the path we take . . . fear or peace . . . anger or acceptance . . . anxiety or serenity . . . Where does God want us to be? I believe He wants us to suit up each day for battle, to stand firm and not be afraid, to be armed and ready with His Word (Ephesians 6:10-20). For today, I am choosing peace, acceptance and serenity. I choose God. I didn't start my day this way, but it is how I am determined to conclude it. Gentle words to myself and strong pleas to God. "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24.
Walk with me down a path of peace and talk pleasant words with me . . . (okay, so you may have to lock the kids in the closet for a time. . .)

About Me
- Life Adapted
- *updated~ It's now 2021, my kids have their own life, but they still give me plenty of fodder. My daughter got tired of me venting to her, so she set me up with a blog. Well, the joke is on her because I make her proof-read my blogs. . . sometimes twice to be sure. I am happily married to a great guy, for 26 years (*36 years and counting!!). He married me in 1984, then in 1989 and 2007 (*and 2014 in Italy) we renewed our vows. Our children and our faith are our life. Preparing our kids to go out in the world as strong Christian soldiers is priority now. Our time will come later (*it's here!!). We love the Lord and love serving Him. As a friend of mine said, I don't apologize for being human, but strive for the eternal. I hope my blogs will make you laugh and think about life in a new perspective.
