Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things many people ever walk through on this earth. When you lose someone that you love, there are no words to describe the loss.

When I Feel Unsatisfied
If I had a spouse like they do… If my children were as well behaved as theirs… If I could just get a new outfit… If my hair would grow faster… If my house was nicer… If I was more talented… If I could just get a new… If I just had more… If…If…If..

God is reminding me how short our days on this earth really
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Here a boy, there a boy, everywhere I look, a boy. I remember too well the way my teenage crush would change by the day, hour and minute. I wanted to find “the one” and settle into a strong relationship, but my mind and opinion of guys would change more than once a day. At some point, I grew out of my fickle feelings of hopping carelessly from one crush to another and I passionately surrendered my heart to my sparkly blue-eyed sweetheart.
