So, I visited a church yesterday. GASP! I know, I thought the ceiling would cave in as well.
We were invited by the mom of a friend of my son (he is 13). He had his friend come and stay overnight on Saturday, and so we took him to his church on Sunday and my son and I stayed for the Sunday Schoo... Comment - Like

We are still churchless. It has been about 4 years now since we have regularly attended a church. We have visited our old church several times now due to necessity. Once our girls were in a dance program there. And the other time was when our oldest daughter was baptized there.
I have to say, i... Comment - Like

I’ve been sick for about 5 years now. I don’t mean not feeling well… I mean down and out. Done. Toast. I could barely get out of bed for a year, could hardly walk due to muscle weakness and tremors, and I was losing more and more physical and mental function all of the time. I started los...

So my 2 kids were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder over the summer. My 12-year-old son was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. My 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with PDD, Asperger’s variety. The difference is slight… it has something to do with the speech delay that the little... Comment - Like

I have 4 children. 2 of them were diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome… a mild form… last Thursday. I’m overwhelmed, but it isn’t a diagnosis that scares me. It breaks my heart for how difficult things may be for them. I adore both of them so much. I want life to be easy for my kids, bu... Comment - Like

I love this saying I found today (I don’t know who said it). I wonder why people are always putting down how they or others feel. And why we often apologize for how we feel. Well, at least I do. So here is what I’ve been mulling over today.
How many of us feel guilt for our emotions? Well… ... Comment - Like

My neurologist who was working so hard last winter to get me a diagnosis moved away, and I haven’t found a new specialist to help with that yet. I did visit an internal medicine/ lyme’s doctor today. He is going to do some testing, but I had an elevated RF and sed rate. Who knows that that me... Comment - Like

It is frightening, the human propensity towards self deception. And even more so how we seperate ourselves from all guilt and responsibility so long as we get what we think we have to have at all costs.
In the end it isn’t worth the expense of the consequences and yet we still try to avoid any bl... Comment - Like

Demanding submission that is not freely given is not leadership… it is domination and control.

That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key. ~Elizabeth Wurtzel Comment - Like

We’ve visited our CLB twice now. My little girls were in Christmas programs there, so we’ve attended the last two weeks at the church we left so long ago after the abuse we went through there.
I haven’t even begun to process my emotions. Being there was both bad and good.

How has God worked in your life lately?
I know that in my life, He isn’t always “obvious,” but always present, whether I see it or not. Sometimes there is a great moment, that I know is a miracle. Other times it is a simple thing that happens and I realize He is reaching out with a gentle... Comment - Like

Our testimonies are our stories, and usually contain some reference to how God was with us, helped us, and got us to where we are today.
But they don’t end there. Every day is a new way to see how God is working. A new chance to move forward, fall flat, or slid back downhill, hopefully not star... Comment - Like

Wow, what a week I’ve had. Here is my unselfish side that stays with a friend no matter what, and my selfish side that wants to scream and rail and run, battling it out with one another. The unselfish and loyal side won, but at a high cost to the other. Good luck making sense of the rambling, ... Comment - Like

There is a nothingness of the soul that can grip a person.
An existing. A putting one foot in front of the other, doing that which needs to be done without really interacting with the world around.

My mother in law passed away last night. The family made the difficult choice to remove life support when complications made it clear that she wasn’t going to be able to ever come off of the ventilator that was keeping her alive.

My mother-in-law went in to the hospital for a rather simple procedure on Thursday, and may not wake up. Her breast cancer re-occurred, and metastasized to her lungs. She is 2 hours away, so I’ve been driving back and forth and my husband has been staying there on and off.
