The weekend
Time away from work
Getting out in nature
Walking the neighborhood
In conversation
With family
With friends
Oh, how I long for
Oh, how I miss
The times
The freedom
The space
The moments
Without
A work or school schedule
Go places
Explore
Last minute
On a whim
These days
Not the same
Make the best of
Make the most of
Memories
Remain
That was then
This is now
My kids were little
They were very young
Starting my life
New beginnings
Had just begun
Family
Career
Lifestyle
Today
This day
I think
Reflecting upon
What was
What is
What will be
Someday
25 years of marriage
Our children are adults
A grandparent now
16 years as a preschool teacher
Critical life lessons learned
This world
A classroom
Many teachers
No doubt
Relationships have grown
Especially with Christ
To live
To love
To learn
To serve
Brings peace and joy
My heart
Forever
Has been changed
My perspective
How I view the world
How I see other people
Is that with love
Is that of gratitude
Even though
My heart so desires
Yearns for something more
I know
I can lean into Him
He will satisfy
The hunger
I so desire
He will provide
Patience
I must have
Trust
In His timing
Someday
One day
He will give me
The desires of my heart
He will provide
A longing
To return to
Get back
To my roots
A place I once was
Forever
I will be
Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
