For Real, Elaine?!

Just living the fairy tale life! NOT!! LOL

  • Where, but Here?

    Have you ever done something you were ashamed of? Have you ever said something to your spouse, child or parent you wish you could take back but it’s too late? The damage is done. If you focus on the mistakes you made, any wrong done to you, disappointments and loves lost it’s extremely hard to… Read more

  • Awakened Decision

    There comes a time in our lives when we have to make hard, heartbreaking decisions. We have to come to the realization: 1. We can’t change anyone no matter how hard we try, pray, threaten, nag, plead or beg. It’s their choice. Only God can if they allow the Holy Spirit to change their heart.… Read more

  • Me and Peter

    I have to confess that like so many of those in the Bible who though chosen by God, still failed Him. I have failed terribly! I can relate a lot to Peter, always running my mouth when I should be quiet. Boastful, overzealous and a know it all! Peter actually thought he knew more than… Read more

  • I want to discuss “Valentines Day Disappointment.”

    So often we have preconceived expectations of love. I remember when Bobby and I were in our late 30’s and attending a Young Adult Sunday school class doing a series on marriage. Every Sunday I left class feeling depressed and unloved because someone would say “my husband runs my bath for me and lights candles.”… Read more

  • Thoughts on Job

    Although Job had lived a blameless and upright life, fearing God and shunning evil (1:1), he was not perfect. He speaks here of ‘the sins of my youth’ (13:26) and says, ‘My offences will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin’ (14:17). The mistake that Job’s friends made was to… Read more

  • Through the Rain

    For almost two years now life as most Americans had previously known it has ceased to exist. The carefree days of living uninhibited by the restraints of our safety and health no longer exist. Fear if we aren’t careful can consume our thoughts and steal every ounce of joy we have. Having been mostly house… Read more

  • The Missing Page

    Earlier this week I took my momma for a doctor visit, as we were waiting I picked up a Southern Living magazine. The front of the magazine had a picture of a delicious looking pie on the front cover.  I flipped through the magazine until I found another picture of the same pie with the… Read more

  • Off Balance

    Off Balance Somehow, with everything that is going on in this world the past few days I have found myself “off balance.”   Have you ever felt that way? As if you just weren’t walking straight anymore. You are still getting up everyday and doing what you are supposed to do, but your legs are weak… Read more

  • Giving Wisely

    The truth is – you can’t be giving to everyone. Some people, not everyone, but some people as the old saying goes “if you give them an inch they will take a mile.” It makes giving complicated and it shouldn’t. We should be able to help others out of love believing they receive it with… Read more

  • Estranged Daughter (ED)

    Tomorrow my ED will be 36. I remember finding out I was pregnant just six months after having her sister. I was so confused and to be honest depressed. I knew their father was a mess. I knew by now he was not willing or able to take care of a family. I knew without… Read more
