I Surrender Some

Posted on June 2, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

I grew up going to church and back in the day, we would sing primarily out of hymnals.  I used to love these books!  The hymnal was old and the pages worn, yellowed and torn. As you cracked open the cover, history would unfold before you of songs written so long ago. As soon as… Continue reading

The Wait

Posted on June 1, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

God doesn’t operate on our time clock. Today is my 2-year anniversary. We downloaded our adoption application to Three Angel’s Children’s Relief orphanage in Haiti exactly two years ago. At the time, we were told to expect our adoption to take approximately 18 months. Well, eighteen months has come and gone, with some days barely… Continue reading

What Astonishes You?

Posted on May 27, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

My husband was invited to attend a pilgrimage of the steps of Saint Vincent in France by his employer. France..10 days. Of course, count me in! Who in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to eat chocolate croissants and enjoy a latte in Paris?  However, I’ll admit–growing up in the Protestant church, we were… Continue reading

Coffee Talk

Posted on May 23, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Pull up a chair, sista. We gotta talk. There are a few things that I wanna share. Get off the Elevator Ride–NOW. We are submersed in an American culture that tells us that “We have to have more.” Well, guess what? It’s not true. Having more means more responsibility–more lawn to mow, more rooms to… Continue reading

Pour It Out

Posted on May 18, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

One life to live. One story to tell. What will it say? “Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an… Continue reading
