Grace Enough

It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”

The Footprints We Leave

The picture above is one that speaks volumes. This is our high school classmate at his daughter’s graduation from medical school. It is indeed a proud moment for a father to see his daughter following in his footsteps. What makes a daughter want to be a doctor like her dad?

Perfectly Imperfect

If you are anything like me, sometimes you wish life came with the perfect questions followed by perfect answers. Details come perfectly packaged with little or no mess.

What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”

Where it All Started

Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”

Count Down

A year ago a small group of us from our high graduating class met for a weekend of fun. Some of us hadn’t seen each other in decades. The coming together was nothing short of fabulous. In a few short days we are going to do this again. This time the number has almost quadrupledContinue reading “Count Down”

The Caged Me
