The whole world is in transition whether we like it or not. States waver between opening and staying closed. People debate whether to wear a mask or not. Students are either worried whether school will start up again or relieved that it might be delayed. People are working to correct injustices made to minorities. How can we do better. Transition […]
I feel like April and May flew by, and then in June, time slowed down. I enjoyed the slower days. When my husband was home, we spent a lot of time dreaming and thinking about what’s next for us. Many mornings began with dodging rain drops on my run. I watched too many Hallmark movies and drank a lot of […]
It happened so quickly. My hand hit the off key on my computer and it crashed. The computer is not fixable by my techie husband and will need to go to an Apple store on the other side of the ocean. All of this could have been prevented if I would have thought through my actions or if I would […]
Back in 2015, I wrote a blog post called A Tribute to My Daughter. In the post, I talked about a dress W had bought for her senior banquet that never happened. W’s school had closed in during winter break because of security concerns. It was a time of unknowns for us in our area of the world. As I […]
As March comes to an end, I decided to sit down and process what I am learning in this season where life is no longer normal. I am a learner by nature, but often rush from one thing to the next never taking the time to reflect and appreciate what God has taught me. Each season has lessons to be learned-some seasons […]
My husband and I were on our evening walk when I noticed I could see the beach and downtown in the distance. It was a beautiful view, but something did not feel right. As we neared the bridge, I was devastated to see the trees and vegetation had been hacked away. The debris left to rot. On the other side of the bridge were most […]
In West Africa, we only have two seasons-rainy and dry. No winter-not even close. Currently, we have two more months of dry season, but I miss out linking up with those writing about what they learned this winter over at Emily P. Freeman. For me, it is taking time to see how God has been working, how life has been changing, and hopefully how I […]
(Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash) I can’t believe that I have finished 12 books already this year. Good series are my weakness especially if the whole series has been published and the library or kindle unlimited has them available. Some people binge watch a show; I binge read. My resolution of reading more nonfiction was forgotten as I wanted to find out what […]
Each evening my husband and I put on our Keens and head out the door. The route is the same even though the landscape of the lagoon and sand is always changing depending on the season and high and low tide. The pictures below come from our favorite view. It might not look like it at first glance, but the same tree […]
Encouragement from Haggai
I was enjoying a lazy morning studying when the news came. Our country had its first confirmed case of COVID 19. It wasn’t a surprise. We knew it wasn’t a matter of “if” but “when” especially since bordering countries had confirmed cases. Even before the first case, precautions were set in place with extra hand washing and social distancing. But still I found […]
