I'm back!

Hey hey hey dear reader!  I am back from summer vacay and before you admit to yourself that you missed me (muah) I want to say first that I missed writing to you!  It was a much needed respite BUT I've been itching to get back on the 'beat' that is L.I.F.E.  (Living In Full Expectation!!!).  It has been an incredible summer and I plan to fill you in on all of the travel details but for now, let me just say I am happy to be cracking on the keyboard sharing and caring.  I'd love to hear about some of the shenanigans you got into this summer--Let me know in the comments section, on Facebook or by email.  I will be coming atcha Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so stay frosty and stay in love with LIFE!

The Big Chop

There comes a time in every womans life when she knows it's time for a change.  There's a subtle and discernible shift in the air around your brain where everything starts to look off.  My time came during our church fast in January.  Fasts are great times to confront LOTS of things, such as our cravings, our shortcomings and the dross that clutters up our lives.  Funny thing, my hair started feeling like part of the clutter.  On a hot day, there it was suffocating and clingy. While cleaning and cooking? There it was hanging all over the place.  Falling into my food while eating? All too common.  Then there were the constant comments and apparently hard to control urges to touch my hair by stranger after grabby stranger (without permission of course).  I started feeling like my hair could have hosted its own Facebook page and been waaaay more popular than me!  So my white roots started growing out but I had no particular plan in mind for the ...

Our next trip awaits!!!

Dad and I are busy getting ready for our next adventure. Ok. I'm the one whose busy while Dad is chilling. But we can't wait to set sail on our 4 day Disney cruise to the Bahamas.   One might think packing for a four day vacay wouldn't take much energy but you would be sadly mistaken.  Whether you are traveling overnight or for a month, certain necessities must go with.  Those necessities take up a whole small suitcase so, be prepared.  I always plan for the worst and hope for the best that way I am rarely disappointed. I meticulously pack using a detailed checklist of items Dad needs.  This ranges from his favorite night cap to toothpicks.  No item is too small to be catalogued and packed.  If it truly matters at home then chances are it will matter in another location.  This is a task that takes days to accomplish well so, start early and save yourself considerable stress. We took this trip on another Disney ship two years...

Should I stay or should I go?

If we aren't killed as a result of a seemingly freak accident, how will we know when it's time to exit stage left?  For the saints of God I believe there will be a foreshadowing of the inevitable.  A brief time or a season when you get to have a presence in both realms.  One place was only ever your temporary home but it is the only home your flesh knows.  And the other home is the one your soul has been dreaming to return to but may feel a tad unsure about. For almost a year, my Dad has been dropping me lots of hints that he knows this world is getting stale for him.  He's been talking to his deceased brother (Tootsie) quite often and calling for his Mom at night.  Just like a good dad would, he has been preparing us for his time to fly away home by saying things like, "it won't be long now" and, "do you think I'll get to see my brother on the other side?"   At first I felt sorrow when he would want to talk about the next phase.  I'd typi...
