Stand Up For Jesus

My grandpa is currently in hospice care. His nurse said he probably has anywhere from a day to a week left on earth. He is surrounded by family that loves him and there have been multiple special moments with him in his final days here on earth. I was able to celebrate my 30th birthdayContinue reading “Stand Up For Jesus”

My Testimony

I am blessed to have generations of believers in my family. I’ve known Christ my whole life. I grew up in a Lutheran family attending a Lutheran church and school. I was shown Christ’s love every day with family devotions and prayers. However, some days it felt like I was just going through the motions,Continue reading “My Testimony”

Infuriated

This past week I had someone tell me that I need to bulk up. The more I reflected on that comment, the more I felt infuriated. I think it’s ridiculous how much pressure is put on women to look a certain way. If I look at BMI charts, my weight is in the healthy range.Continue reading “Infuriated”

Bark For Life

I was recently asked if I am interested in giving a speech for Bark For Life -an event to raise money for cancer research. I was asked why I was interested in this event. Well, here’s my story for what it’s worth. I’m not sure if I will be the speaker this year but IContinue reading “Bark For Life”

Hope for a Brighter Future

I apologize for being away for over a month. Life has been pretty hectic and to be honest, I feel like I am drowning a lot of days. I feel like I have a lot of weight on my shoulders and each day brings it’s own set of problems. I should probably be antidepressants butContinue reading “Hope for a Brighter Future”

Why I shaved my head

Have you ever wanted to shave your head? Did you go through with it? Were you worried what other people would think if you did it?

My friend decided toContinue reading “Great Lakes Camels vs Lake County Captains”

Swablu Community Day at Dow Gardens

5/15/2021 Friday was Swablu Community Day in Pokémon GO. Sometimes I journey south to visit my sister and play but this month I decided to stay close to home. Dow Gardens is a beautiful 110 acre botanical garden in Midland, Michigan. There are walking paths, gardens, a greenhouse, a playground for kids, and loads ofContinue reading “Swablu Community Day at Dow Gardens”

Little Sable Point Lighthouse

Mears, MI May 12, 2021 My best friend Carolyn is currently going through chemo and I am going through a divorce. It’s draining and we both feel exhausted most days. When I noticed that there was a chance for a beautiful sunset along Lake Michigan I told her that I was going to go onContinue reading “Little Sable Point Lighthouse”

Loons vs Dragons

Wednesday was Bark in the Park at the Great Lakes Loons baseball game. I don’t know about you, but I love taking dogs with me whenever I can. As soon as I heard dogs were allowed, I bought tickets for myself and my SIL. It’s been a few years since I have tried taking someContinue reading “Loons vs Dragons”
