I would love to invite you to join me for a heart-to-heart chat on my front porch (my little happy place on our farm)! From this space, I will share some of the topics that are near and dear to my heart! Some of these offerings have been brought forth through many tears or heartache yet others came from watching God bring amazing victories in my life and the lives of others!
If you want to pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee and grab a chair, we can share some of these awesome journeys together! I am also very open to chatting about ideas you have or struggles you have been facing! So, if you can’t find what you need, drop me a message below and “let’s chat”!
Let's think about that, shall we? Is control really an illusion or is my focus just misdirected?
Throughout this pandemic, people have talked about how out-of-control things are and the fear they have each day over the many unknowns facing them and their families. I have said several times, “Well, our control has always been an illusion”! Now, I'm beginning to realize that to a point that is correct, but don’t we have control over many areas of our life? So let's take a few moments to unpack that process, shall we?
What is Control Really??
Because throughout the last 6 months so much of our normal life seemed to have spiraled out of control, it has been easier to release complete control over to God and thus removing ourselves from the equation! However, don’t we also have some responsibility in this scenario? Granted, we can’t control the actions and thoughts of other people but we can control ours! God has given us a free will to make good, godly choices each day regardless of what others do or what is going on around us!! Y'all, that is kind of a sobering thought, that the ball has been in my court throughout so much of these last 6 months and I have just been calling "foul ball" and kicking it back to God!

So, What's a Girl to Do?
So through all of this, I have learned to flip my thoughts from “control is an illusion” to “what am I letting control me”? God has given me a sound mind, a willing spirit, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit so I’m just going to be over here focusing on what I can control!! I have more than enough to keep me busy for a long time!

Things I do have control over include attitude, my words, my manners, my actions and my effort!! Yes, I was right, I will have enough right here to keep me busy for some time!!

My hubby is a pastor and I worked full-time outside of our home, while raising our family and working in the church until 5 years ago when our youngest son graduated high school!!
