Day 29 – Learning?

It’s nearing the end of the 31 days of reflection. I’m not sure how much true reflecting got done. This has been a busy month, that’s for sure. I moved across town, which is to say that I moved about a mile or so from where I was living. I now live in a household [...]

Day 3: Letting Go

I have a hard time letting go. I’ve been known to hang on to anger long after I’ve forgotten why I was angry in the first place. All I know is that I was right in being angry. I have fought about something even when I’ve realized I’m wrong. I’m hoping that I’m not like [...]

3 years ago today…

2008 was a very difficult year for me. This time back then I didn’t want to get out of bed. My friends were so good to me. They’re still so good to me. I read the following post and feel all emotional. I remember the pain so clearly, yet it’s a memory. As I sit [...]

Kindness Leads to Repentance

I woke up with a song already playing in my head, “How You Forgive Me”. It’s on the Enter the Worship Circle: Third Circle album. I searched Youtube for the song, but could only find the cover.  My friend,  Rebecca, and I were talking about  our thoughts about raising our children. I have been taking [...]

Full Days

Yesterday was a really hard day. I wrote about some of my struggles on my photography blog. We have a lot of rough days here in the Taylor Tribe; many of them end up with me totally annoyed & putting my kids to bed early just to get them out of my hair. Then I [...]

Inspired

People have joked with me about my online presence, specifically Facebook. I will admit that I have spent too much time on this computer fluttering about in the virtual world while my real world begins to unravel. I am sure that I am not the only one. I wondered for awhile if I should just [...]

Love

  John talks a lot about love. A concept I’m not quite confident in. I often wonder if I’m loved and I know I’m not great at showing love, especially toward my children when they have disobeyed. I wonder if my kids know they are loved. Like truly and confidently, come hell or high water [...]

Rearranging

I rearranged my room last night. It started with me making my bed. I pulled my bed away from the wall a bit and saw tons of dust and dog hair. I wanted to clean that up so I moved the bed more and found more stuff hidden. Then realized that my bed skirt needed [...]

Belonging

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to belong somewhere. I have always felt different. Sort of like I’m standing just outside of the circle. I’m not quite included. I always imagine that the group in that circle will just move on and if I don’t keep up I’ll be left behind because [...]
