Wildflower Writes: Joy in Chaos
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2013/12/joy-in-chaos.html
Monday, December 23, 2013. Have I already said I hate shopping? I hate crowds, noise, waiting in line. When shopping for gifts, I'm never confident that I'm choosing something that would be useful or appreciated. I get lost in large stores and can't remember where the departments are. I don't like driving, traffic, parking, or dodging cars in the lot. In my devotions this morning, I read Paul's letter to the Philippians. At the time he writes it, he is in prison. Talk about chaos! But I felt I had to giv...

Wildflower Writes: June 2010
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God by Sheila Walsh. Even as a lifelong Christian, Sheila Walsh struggled to trust God completely. It took a complete emotional breakdown for her to address the fear and shame that had kept her from making a final step of faith so that she could live completely for God. Even then, as her Biblical profiles exemplify, faith involves a moment-by-moment commitment to believing in God's provision. Links to this post. Just a little more. Or are...

Wildflower Writes: November 2011
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. I just returned from a fantastic weekend getaway. Luxury hotel, deluxe shopping mall within walking distance, and beautiful weather. Lots of rest and relaxation with a break from "momdom.". Monday morning it was back to the real world- to an annoying alarm at 6:00 AM, to children who would rather stay in bed than get ready for school, and a fresh load of laundry. Back to "life," right?

Wildflower Writes: Joy in Children
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2013/12/joy-in-children.html
Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Christmas eve. gifts are wrapped (mostly). Treats have been made and sampled. THE gift is put together and ready to play with. I'm ready for Christmas. My kids have floored me with their generosity this year. Of course we encourage the attribute, but let's face it.generally speaking, kids tend to be selfish- "what's in it for me? As Toby Mac says in his song, Christmas this Year. God bless us, every one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a Christian, a mother, a writer,...

Wildflower Writes: Joy in Opposition
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2013/12/joy-in-opposition.html
Saturday, December 28, 2013. Sometimes, I think I know how my life is supposed to go. I think of Micah 6:8. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Follow the rules, keep my nose clean, and God will bless me, right? It's hard enough for me keep my commitments, be a good steward, and maintain good relationships with my family members, let alone anything else God might call me to. According to Joyce Meyer.

Wildflower Writes: August 2010
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 27, 2010. Sorting it all out. I finally did it. It took two mornings before work, but I finally organized my bathroom. My daughter will be glad that I don't borrow her pencil sharpener any more. I can't believe it took me just a few hours to accomplish this task. When I think of all the times I've gone crazy searching for a hairband or deodorant, or a band-aid. It is so nice to go in the bathroom and know where to find what I need! Links to this post.

Wildflower Writes: March 2011
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. I’ve always had a problem with boundaries. It’s not due to some traumatic event in my childhood. Rather, it’s a defective personality (so to speak). I am a people pleaser. And a perfectionist. So I not only want to make people happy, I want to make everyone happy, all the time. I’ve grown up and I’ve realized that one person can’t possibly please everyone she meets. I’ve also decided it’s okay to say “no”. I know that only I can make this work. I plan to start by designating ...

Wildflower Writes: Joy in the Light
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2013/12/joy-in-light.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. Joy in the Light. When I returned from an appointment yesterday, I was amazed to see that the sun had melted most of the snow and ice off my windows, even though the windchill was in the teens. The sun is an amazing thing- providing light, heat, day, seasons. and I have a special relationship with that glowing orb in the sky. Light can represent goodness, truth, righteousness, hope. 1 John 1:5&7. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Joy in the Light.

Wildflower Writes: January 2012
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Like a Wad of Wire. For Christmas, my mom received a beautiful copper sculpture of a butterfly from their exchange student. When asked, Linh said she just formed the copper wire into a butterfly. Artistic talent like that amazes me (and makes me a little jealous). If you gave me a bunch of copper wire, I might be able to make a two-dimensional flower. Maybe. So, if I wanted something beautiful created, and all I had was a ball of copper wire (do they come in balls?

Wildflower Writes: September 2012
http://wildflowerwrites.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. Not about the Money. I used to want to be famous. I wanted to see my name printed on the front of a book as I browsed Barnes and Noble. I wanted the interview on the national television network, and the occasional recognition of my name or face at the local coffee house or grocery store. I knew it was a silly dream: not unattainable, but not necessarily a worthy goal. The experience truly made me question, what do I want people to say after I'm gone from this earth? I've never...
