About

Hi and Welcome to my blog

I am a mom of two grown sons and am far from perfect, but I am real. I find myself reflecting over the past 20+ years of single parenting small boys into young men and wanting a do-over in many areas, but knowing that will not happen. One has flown the coop long ago, and one is ….. I often battle regrets and know God is the only One that can give me peace. As I face a cold hard reality I never imagined, I am unsure of what to do. I want to make changes. I want to find the me God created me to be and I want to keep living my life forward, learning from the past, but no longer living in it. I desire to be free from regret so I am fully free to help those God gives me to help.

My first desire is to get closer to God again. I have been on the mountaintop with Him and have seen many splendorous and marvelous things. I have witnessed many miracles in my life and the lives of my sons. I have been, what I call a Spiritual POW, bound up by the enemy, living in a pit of terror and despair, and been on every level in between. However, over the past few years or so, I have allowed the pressures of life to build to a point of complacency and “lukewarmness” and that is not where I want to be, because God Himself says in Revelation 3:16, “So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.” HCSB

Another change I desire is to simplify my life, allowing me to be more spontaneous and adventurous. I desire to have fewer “things” to take care of and fewer chores that take precious time away from what is truly important. This blog was started by my son who wanted to give his momma a quiet place to go when she needed to escape those pressures of life. I hope and pray that this will be a place you want to come to as well, when you need a break from your own pressures.
