Do you struggle with rest? I'm not just talking about getting enough sleep at night. I am talking about complete psychological, social and spiritual rest, the kind that leads to a good night's sleep.

Walking With God
Mom and Moo Have ADHD
The more Moo and I spend time together, the more I ask myself, “How did I NOT see the ADHD in myself all these years? I remember my mom telling a story about me when I was in elementary school….”I came to school to see how you were doing. I didn’t want to disturb the…
“Ma, I’m Not Okay”
Last Spring, my husband, Paul, and I noticed our youngest son, Bryant (nicknamed Moo), was coming home from college more often than usual. However, college was only an hour away, so we didn’t give it much thought. However, one night, during one of his impromptu visits, I looked at Moo and he didn’t look “right.”…
The Old Meets The New
I awoke this morning on a college campus. The night before was not pleasant. I remember thinking, "How did I ever think this little bed was comfortable? " Then I remembered the last time I was in a bed this small I was 20 years younger and WAY smaller. Then as I was getting ready in…

New Day, New Mercies
This morning's walk was absolutely awesome! Let me back up a minute. Yesterday, moo came in and told me that he saw the magnolia blossoms on a tree in our neighborhood. We discussed how that tree seemed to be full of blossoms, but the other magnolia trees had not produced as of yet. Ok, back…
Don’t Stop Pruning
I woke up this morning and heard it.....rain!!! my flowers needed this natural rain. It's something about rain that just makes flowers really grow!!! So after Aaron informed me that it had been raining since early this morning I became panicked. Some of my containers that I have in my beds do not have holes…
Time With Him
After I threatened to dance on the porch again in front of Moo's bus and he RAN to the bus scared to death, I decided to go walking. It gave me an opportunity to get my thoughts together and "blow out the cobwebs." I found that my time with Him is like that: it can…
Memories…..
I felt really antsy this morning, and at first I couldn't put my finger on why I was feeling restless. Then it hit me: I need to go walking this morning! So after I got Moo on the bus, I took off to walk. I was determined not to be begging this morning during my…
