Happy Thursday!! Thursday's around here go like this.... I post a pic, quote, or verse.... You think about it and give me your thoughts. It can be your first thought or you can chew on it. Either way I want to hear from you. Let's think..... I'm listening, Tracey <><

Merriam-Webster defines reentry as " retaking possession" , and as " the action of reentering earth’s atmosphere after traveling in space." I say  YES to both of those definitions. I say yes to the later because I do feel as if I’ve been traveling in space for the last year. Just sort of floating around with no clear direction. Well, maybe some direction. I guess I could put it this way….you know how astronauts float around in space…the zero gravity makes getting anywhere a slow, grueling process…there’s no getting in a hurry in space. It is what it is. Well, that’s how I’ve felt. I see my goal, my destination, but I’m in slllooowww motion getting there. Not because I’m not trying with all my might…cause I’m running on the inside….but conditions around me are keeping me in slow motion. And so I just put one foot in front of the other, slowly, paitently, until I get to where I’m going. This slow is also hard. Slow takes time to learn. Slow is

Happy Thursday All!! Our new Thursday thing goes like this.... I post a pic, quote, or verse.... You think about it and give me your thoughts. It can be your first thought or you can chew on it.  Either way I want to hear from you. Glad you stopped by! Hope to see you again next Thursday! Time to think.....

This weekend we have an opportunity. An opportunity to lift up the women in our lives. Sunday is the day marked on our calendars for the celebration of our Mothers. I applaud the Mothers that are reading here. Mothers everywhere. In whatever season of motherhood that you may find yourself. I want to give encouragement to women everywhere who long to, but are yet to be mothers. I want to let you know that even if you never usher a child into this world that shares your DNA, there is someone out there that needs a mother figure in their life. Sweet sister, you just might be that woman. To the Mothers who didn’t experience the pains of birthing, but have their own sense of birth pains through adoption. For the Mothers who carried that precious child for those days, weeks, or months and had to give him or her back to the Father.  For the grieving Mothers. The widowed Mothers. The single Mothers.  For the Mothers missing their own sweet Mamas. Longing for one more

Starting a new trend over here at LOE. Gonna call it "Think about it Thursday" Here's how it will work. Every Thursday I'll post a picture, quote, or verse. It will be something for you to chew on. Then...tell me what you think! I'd really love it if you all would leave me a comment with the first thing that pops in your head. Or...if you'd like to think on it a while that's fine too, but I'd  still LOVE your thoughts. So here we go. Let's see what we can do with this ladies! In honor of Mother's Day.....

Tracey <>< Maybe I can eventually turn this in to some sort of link up....hmmmm....any ideas?

Self talk is a beast! Can I get an AMEN?!? Anybody else toting this burden around? You know, the one that you get fed up with DAILY. The one that nags and nags and never has anything good to say? The one that is crazy about comparison. Laughs it up when you forget something for the umpteenth time. Rolls her eyes when you are late….AGAIN. Constantly reminds you that it’s been two weeks since you exercised. Drops hints every morning that your house could be cleaner. Don’t you just want to shout…..”ZIP IT!!” (cause we don’t say the “S” word at our house) ;) So what do we do about it ladies? How do we silence the soul-poisoning voice of self? Well, I am far from an expert, but I have struggled with the plague of self talk, and have come out on the other side of it with a few answers. (How’s that for a run on sentence!) ( I didn’t say I was cured, just that I had some answers) I’m sure you know where this is going. Of

It’s Five Minute Friday again! The time where we stop, drop, and write. I grow to love this time more with each passing week. Hey! Why don’t you join me? Just plop down and let those creative juices flow for 5 mins flat. Then you can link up with Lisa-Jo over at The Gypsy Mama . Don’t have a blog? I’d still love to read what you lay down. Shoot me an email or leave your Real in the comments. 　 　 I wrote about Real once before….it may have even been a FMF. Today, I’m gonna try to put a new spin on it, just because I love FMF so much. Life would really be much easier if we would all just show our Real. Do you realize how much energy and effort it takes to conceal it? We spend way to much money on the outfit that everyone will like, or the makeup that covers all of our Real, or the house/car that will be bigger, better, newer. I think that it is quite possibly an insult to God when we hide our Real. Real is how He made us. N

　 In my reading yesterday, I came across a question. “Do you experience Jesus Christ in the daily activities of your life?” My mind immediately went to a conversation that I had just had with a friend. I was telling her how neat it was to see God work in the small stuff, and how He customizes His blessings to the individual person. You see the thing that blesses me may not bless you. I’ll give you “a day in the life of me” example and we can compare notes….. I woke up this particular day (reluctantly) with a huge sense of dread for the day that lay before me. I had too much to do and no time to do it. At the top of my list was a trip to Lowe’s (with a three year old) that was going to involve itemized lists, price comparison, hours of my time, and way to much use of my tired brain. For those of you that don’t know the story behind this , I am in the middle of building a house while living in our travel trailer (scratch that, my husband came home and got our tr
