Slow Fade..

Especially Heather — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:45:33 +0000

It just takes one second, one split second decision that can effect so much, yet so many husbands/wives foolishly make the wrong choice. They justify the affair by telling themselves that they aren’t happy, they feel unloved, they need something more. In the end… Its all about them. What they don’t realize is that all they [...]

What Lies Within..

Especially Heather — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:20:42 +0000

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us”. -Waldo Emerson I’ve been thinking alot about this past year. I went through radiation/chemotherapy simultaneously in 2007.. and ended chemo August 2008, and I am still here to tell you about it. I started homeschooling again,not [...]

Depression…

Especially Heather — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:12:00 +0000

We, as Christians think we should be joyful and full of praise all. of. the. time. Yes, it is true that God intends for us to live joyful lives… but where does that leave those of us who, as Christians, suffer from depression? Where does that leave our ability to tell others of our emotions [...]

Spiritual Accountability

Especially Heather — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:01:50 +0000

So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus [...]

What fun we had!

Especially Heather — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:35:16 +0000

Our Women’s Christmas Ornament Exchange was last night at Ms. Bev’s. Now let me start by telling you about Ms. Bev. Her daughter and I grew up as best friends, and she is my moms best friend. Sadly she is moving to a cabin in the Tennessee Woods this year. We will miss her oh [...]

Tuesdays..

Especially Heather — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:24:53 +0000

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.” Tuesdays are a very special day for me. They are the day that I have set apart to be with my very dear friend Michelle. Whether it be getting our nails [...]

Emma cut her hair {before & after}

Especially Heather — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 14:55:43 +0000

Emma has decided that she didn’t like her “Page Boy” hair cut, and replaced it with this lovely do all by herself, just in time for Christmas pictures.. sigh. Before: So being the creative person that I am, I experimented this morning with my head bands from when I was first losing my hair…. and VOILA! After: Santa [...]

Looking Back to “that day”

Especially Heather — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:55:34 +0000

I took over an hour yesterday to read through my archives from the time I found out I had brain cancer. It took me back to those emotions, feelings, and heartache. It took me back to the place that never wanted to revisit again. Ever. Its been almost 2 years now. 2 years of heartache [...]

A little gossip never hurt..

Especially Heather — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:52:55 +0000

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” Have you ever thought about your character? Webster defines character as qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity. Honesty. Courage. Integrity. As parents, this [...]

Your Faithfulness is Unfailing

Especially Heather — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:40:48 +0000

So many times in the last few years I have found myself questioning Gods plan. I have cried out, begged, and honestly wept openly regarding my broken spirit. While praying for those circumstances that life held, I realized how faithful God truly is, and I am so awe struck. In those moments that you [...]

What do we do?

Especially Heather — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 02:28:04 +0000

I love this quote by Helen Keller: “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.” This video really resonated with me, because I have prayed for answers to so many things and yet God is silent. [...]

I feel so pretty!

Especially Heather — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:45:03 +0000

Don’t ya just love it?! Thanks to Karen at Simply Amusing Designs my blog is all dressed up for the winter..although it looks like spring! I can’t praise Karen enough, really. She was SUPER easy to work with, reasonably priced and fast too! She took my not so focused design needs, and turned [...]

Loyal and Honest..

Especially Heather — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:44:04 +0000

What is a Friend? I’ll tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask you to put on nothing, only to be what you really are. When you are with him, you do not have to be on your guard. You [...]

In my life…

Especially Heather — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:16:23 +0000

This morning, as I sit here and try to come up with a thanksgiving post… it is hard. Not because I dont have anything to be thankful for, but because I have so. very. much. to be thankful for.. and it is hard to put it all in words. The past year and a [...]

Where are they?

Especially Heather — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:13:21 +0000

I was reading an old blog post that I found on the internet this morning. It really struck a chord with me. It stated the following: “Where are the Christian blogs that make mistakes, sometimes give in to temptation, get angry, and admit they aren’t perfect? How can we build relationships as blogger’s, when [...]

“This and That”

Especially Heather — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:59:23 +0000

When I was driving Emma to the hospital on Friday, I heard a person on the radio say something that really got me thinking. In rush of “what ifs” that often go through my mind when Emma has a spiked a fever, I caught the announcer’s statement. “We often get so caught up in the [...]

Really? Demented? Wow..

Especially Heather — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:12:47 +0000

So, by now almost all of the homeschoolers have heard about The Views Joy Behar dissing homeschooling children by stating “A lot of them are demented when they’re homeschooled.” . I know that it shouldn’t come as a shock that the liberals on The View would state (much less condone) such language and ignorance [...]

It’s that time of year..

Especially Heather — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:00:43 +0000

Edited To Add: The IEP has been rescheduled due to Emma’s Teacher having strep throat… The migraine inducing IEP meeting for Emma. Although I am super confident in her school and she has an amazingly awesome teacher and nurses; none of things change the fact that she is such a unique child with unique [...]

Wordless Wednesday:

Especially Heather — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:56:40 +0000

Happy Anniversary Baby! “I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you [...]
