Balance: Five Minute Friday

It’s a chilly Friday night in Ohio and I’m bundled up in my fluffy robe, fuzzy socks, and fleece blanket. This was one of those weeks that lingered beyond its welcome. Tuesday felt like Friday and each day thereafter was salt in the wound. I’m so glad to jump in on this Five Minute FridayContinue reading “Balance: Five Minute Friday”

Value: Five Minute Friday

Happy Friday! I hope those of you who live in the USA had an amazing Thanksgiving gathered with loved ones and lots of yummy food. Thanksgiving was a little different in my family this year as my youngest sister is living in Canada. Her empty seat at the table was a constant reminder of theContinue reading “Value: Five Minute Friday”

One: Five Minute Friday

Burden: Five Minute Friday

Happy Friday! Every Friday I love to join other Christian writers over at Five Minute Friday where we gather to share inspiration on a similar prompt.

Repeat: Five Minute Friday

I want to start this post with a few disclaimers: I spent a little longer than five minutes writing this post. If you read it you will understand why it warranted some rule-bending. This post contains some sensitive information. If you have difficulty reading about suicide or death you may not want to go anyContinue reading “Repeat: Five Minute Friday”

Today I am joining my fellow positive writers over at Five Minute Friday, where we gatherContinue reading “Moment: Five Minute Friday”

Praise: Five Minute Friday

I’m joining “my people” from Five Minute Friday today and responding to our prompt: Praise. One of the most difficult months in my life was September. I felt the arrows of the enemy piercing me around every turn. Bad news surrounded me and my anxiety levels returned to a scary-high level. I was worn out,Continue reading “Praise: Five Minute Friday”

Potential: Five Minute Friday

Every week I like to jump in on the prompted fun over at Five Minute Friday. It is here that I am able to link-up and meet other Christian writers from the blog-o-sphere.

Crowd: Five Minute Friday

Here I am…another week of showing up late to the party. I had the best of intentions to post before school on Friday, but a six-month-old had her own plans for my morning. So here I am, Saturday afternoon, in my office space, drinking in the silence of a resting household and joining my crewContinue reading “Crowd: Five Minute Friday”
