For the past 55 days, or 7 weeks and 6 days, or 1 month and 24 days….we have been forced to slow down. Spend time with our loved ones. Isolate ourselves from the world. And while, it may not seem like a lot of time; trust me it is when you have a child withContinue reading “55 Days”

The New Normal
Hebrews 13:8 New Life Version (NLV) 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Shelter in place, stay at home, flatten the curve, pandemic are all terms of the new normal time we are living in. Respirator masks, face masks, quarantine, outbreaks…none of this was on my radar or in myContinue reading “The New Normal”
Impulsive Behaviors
I sit here with tears streaming down my face and wonder if we will ever have a peaceful day with Tyson. I love him but I hate when he destroys things just because. There is no talking about why we don’t break things. This is the part of adhd and autism I hate. I hopeContinue reading “Impulsive Behaviors”
Life After Sepsis
The Lord is MY helper, MY portion, MY everything. No matter how dark things have been in my life, the one thing, many times the only thing that gets me through it,is Jesus. I love that not only is my Savior, my Creator and the Omnipresent I AM, he is also my friend andContinue reading “Life After Sepsis”

I pray you were able to spend it with people you cherish and love. I was very blessed to have a day with many family members at our Mom’sContinue reading “Blessed Beyond Measure”
My Mind
Hello everyone! I am still here. I am finding it much more difficult to write because focusing and concentrating requires a lot more effort than I have ever had to have, until now. Many days God brings to mind something he wants me to share with you and by the time it is quiet andContinue reading “My Mind”
Before & After
I’ve read that when people grieve they can break it down into two times. Before and After. Before the loss and after the loss. I know this is true. I also know that this just doesn’t apply to the loss of a loved one. It’s also the loss of a function. Before sepsis, myContinue reading “Before & After”
Darkness
In a moment of intense hurt, heated words and threats were voiced. Witnessing physical violence between people you love isn’t something any one ever wants to see. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 NIV DarknessContinue reading “Darkness”
