The Lord Directs My Path

Mother’s Day. My plans were to take it easy and be lazy. God had a different plan. At the end of the day, I had to laugh when I looked at my total steps for the day. I’m lucky to get 6,000 a day, so you can imagine my reaction when I saw this total! […]

Take the Challenge

I’m late to the game — the 100daychallenge, however, it will still be worth it! I’m looking for something to be thankful for every day. Maybe it will be a sunrise, a sunset, or even a rainy day that will lift my spirits. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds…. Here’s my top […]
