Life’s Journey

So because I am working on being more obedient, when I heard last night, "Go walking", I knew I was supposed to go walking this morning. I woke up, stretched, got dressed and went walking. And I am walking along and thinking about my life (as I often do) and I begin to thank God…

Let It All Go

I did it again!!!! I am convinced that my body is conspiring to keep me in bed! My body was not the only thing that was conspiring against me this morning. My mind was in on it too. Have you ever awakened and a gazillion thoughts hit you at once? Well, that happened to me…

The Screen Porch

I overslept this morning!!! I think my body knows that Fall is coming and is starting to rebel. Anyway, I only argued with myself a couple of seconds and jumped up and called out to Moo so we could get some kind of walking in before work. I explained to him that because it was…

Gratitude in All Things

I was texting a friend this morning and at the end of the text, I wrote, "I am learning to be grateful in all things." And it hit me: this is yet another lesson that God has been trying to teach me. Instead of trying to control the outcome of my environment and then having…

For Our Good

Before Moo and I set out to walk this morning, his father informed him that he would be moving up to the next age group in football. And contrary to what I normally do, I decided not to say anything to Moo about it while we were walking. I wanted him to process his feelings…

Relationship Ruthism

My mother has always told me this, as told to her but her mother, Adelaide - "If you're gonna stay, shut up, if you're gonna leave, shut up. Either way, just shut up and do what you are gonna do." My grandmother never mixed words. Now that's some food for thought lol

More Ruthisms

I just realized that I hadn't posted any Ruthisms in a while, so here goes:- Taken from her mother, Adelaide Bazemore: it's better to have 2 or 3 really good friends than 20 "fair weather" friends- If worrying would pay all of my bills, I would stay up all night on the 1st of the…

Moo’s Wisdom

Just before we went walking this morning, Moo was informed that he was not going somewhere today that he wanted to go, so needless to say, he was very upset with me!! lol....so we walked in silence and I'm not gonna lie, I was ok with that....but Moo can't be anyone else but Moo, so…
