Make Room by Letting Go (This post contains an affiliate link. See my About Me page to learn more.) This week's Calling was inspired by all that transpired in my life this past month. If you missed it you can find the full inspiration here. http://littlesomethinsomethings.com/let-go-and-let-god-fight-for-you/ There were many that hurt me and brought anger to my heart, and I knew the first thing I had to do was to work on forgiving each one of them. Not to excuse, condone or accept what … [Read more...]

The Little Plant That Beats All Odds
The Amazing Air Plant! (This post contains affiliate links, for more info visit my About Me page) I received my first air plant on Mother's day...the exact one pictured above. Anytime I receive any plant, I tend to feel a little apprehensive...for a green thumb, I have not. Determined not to end the life of this cute little thing, I did some research and was truly fascinated in what I learned. Air plants truly do beat all the odds of "typical" mother nature assumptions and expectations. … [Read more...]
Expanding the Journey
Hi Dear Friends. Life for me is truly all about God's amazing, from the little things all the way through to the greatest blessings. I love to wake up each day and look for His hand upon everything. For me, God is all about inspiration. The place he speaks within in my heart, the things he shows me with my eyes each and every day, and all he brings my ears to hear. With that being said, I am so excited to share more of my simply ordinary/extraordinary life with all of you. Things that … [Read more...]
Book Review…”For Such A Time As This”
By Andrea Grayson (this book review contains affiliate links, see my About Me page) I love the way that Andrea shares her life in this book, by writing in a way as if she is looking back in a mirror, with new eyes of faith and redemption, past and beyond the life where she came from. Her life story is truly one that most of us cannot imagine nor even comprehend. Her transparency, truth and vulnerability in every detail will stir up emotions of shock, sadness, fear and so much more. Yet, it … [Read more...]
AS I CELEBRATE ANOTHER YEAR OF LIFE!
A Time of Reflection, Gratitude & Hope On Sunday, the 21st of May, I will be blessed to celebrate another year of life, and can honestly say that the journey thus far has been amazing! I wouldn't change a single thing, am grateful for every moment, both those of joy and those of challenge, for without them all I wouldn't be where I am or who I've become. Could I have made different choices along the way? Well, we can all say that after each life experience. But those choices that could … [Read more...]

Come Closer
Lord, sometimes you seem so far away. Yet I know you are standing right here beside me, but I just can't feel your closeness in the way that I need and long to experience. Maybe it's fear, maybe it's doubt, or even confusion due to a life situation. The world can sometimes come between you and I, when I let all these things overwhelm my thoughts and my heart. So I ask you to come even closer, to touch my heart and soul, so I can truly "feel" your closeness in a deeper sense and greater way … [Read more...]
Friday Smiles!
I smile because every storm has a silver lining and renewal. Last Saturday it was "very" windy here in Indiana. Our table umbrella took flight and smashed the glass tabletop. My dogs and us people were nowhere around, so no one got hurt...it could have been much worse. And I've been "secretly" wanting a new table and now I have the one that I'd been hoping for. So you see, something good really does come out of everything. Smile... it's Friday! Blessings Friends. … [Read more...]
Let Go and Let God Fight for You
Don't Fight Back This inspiration came from a storm I experienced in my life, that truly shook my world and tested every part of my character, bringing shocking, painful and erroneous actions of many, by a place that is meant to be safe and trusted. False accusations, personal vendettas based on hearsay, gossip, and misconstrued truths not respectfully accepted, caused great pain not only to me but to those that are very close me. One of the most hurtful things in life for me is to be … [Read more...]
