Back to School

Posted on August 19, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

School is starting and on any other year, this would leave me with a tinge of excitement. There is something within me that enjoys the start of a brand new year. New teachers. New friends. New backpacks and pencils. Reminiscing of my childhood, I adored back-to-school shopping. As a child, you feel like you have… Continue reading

Sticky Fingers

Posted on June 30, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Let’s be honest, we like the security of control.  We may enjoy getting on the roller coaster for a spin but oh boy, we sure want to know that it’s going to end!  We fail to surrender all because we have no idea what is coming up ahead.  We have no idea what will be… 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

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Posted on May 11, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Happy Mother’s Day! As I look into a mirror, I can see why I’ve been told countless times “You are your mother’s daughter.” There are these features in my face–my eyes, my smile–that resemble those of my mother. They have been passed down to me. The other day as I was talking to one of… Continue reading

My House is MAD

Posted on March 26, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

It’s all out WAR around here. Brackets are crumbling. Put downs are flying. I have never witnessed anything like this before.  Our daughter has challenged her Daddy to his fullest basketball prowess. I LOVE IT! Pops is in on the action, too. Even though he continues to turn his bracket in one day late year… Continue reading

Taking Risks

Posted on March 12, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Those who do GREAT things for God take GREAT RISKS for Him. Moses stood up to the Pharaoh of Egypt and said, “Let my people go.”  Abram and Sarai were willing to go to the land where God called them to go. Esther believed she was created for “such a time as this.” Gideon fought… Continue reading

Woohoo! 🎉🎈. It’s Friday! I️ feel good 🎶 Seems like just yesterday you were 9 🎉🎈 Happy Birthday Jesus! Thank you for giving us this special day to celebrate all that you have done for us! We are so blessed by a relationship with you, as well as with family & friends! Living the Texas life & loving it! #familieshelpingfamilies #regentsschoolofaustin This one is good… The world seems pretty unpredictable as of late, so I must remind myself that God is always up to something. But when I take a look around, it sure doesn’t seem that way. Our nation seems more like a dysfunctional family with constant bickering and fighting. Not to mention all the chaos ensuing outside of our borders too.⠀ Happy Birthday 🎊🎉🎂! I️ cannot believe we have another adult in the house. Love you Kade! Hi Friends!⠀ #firstdayofschool here we come! 🎉💕
