Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Happy New Year, dear friends! Here’s to welcoming 2014 in with loads of love.
As you ponder all this new year might hold for you, the good along with the challenges, I just want you to keep one thing in mind…
Yes, it’s a brand new year… But we still worship the same incredible God. And His awesome and Almighty powerful self can do ANYTHING.
Even more than we can imagine. [Read more…]
We are standing on the precipice of a new year.
In just a couple of days, that ball will drop, we will place new calendars throughout our house and welcome 2014 with (hopefully) open arms.
Beautiful and exciting thought, yes?
But then… after the confetti is cleaned up and the tree is taken down, it’s back to the grindstone. Same old stuff.
Or is it??? [Read more…]
As the final days of 2013 are drawing to a close, many of us are probably prepping to make some changes for the coming year. Today, I want to share with you this repost (complete with a crazy-great-unique recipe) to encourage you to GO FOR IT in 2014! Change is good thing. Get some.

I’ve always heard that change is inevitable… except from a vending machine. Ain’t that the truth? (Yes, I said ain’t. I’m being grammatically lazy today.)
Change IS going to happen in all parts of life: family, weather, jobs, circumstances, finances, our age… everything. If it is such a common occurrence, why do we fear it so much? [Read more…]
Ah, Christmas is just around the corner… So I am taking a blog breather (actually, I am prepping for some new adventures in 2014. That and doing Christmassy things.) On that note, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite posts– a hilarious recount involving a $10 bill, a grill and fire… You can guess what happens.

A little over a week ago, I had a moment. Here’s the back story…
Brandon and I both had a crazy week… my beloved was working ridiculous hours since it was his duty week as Senior Drill Sergeant (See: really early mornings, late/tiring nights) and I was running like a lunatic trying to keep up with more church activities/duties than anticipated. [Read more…]
With just a couple weeks left in 2013, tis that time of year for reflection.
It’s sure been a year. Whew. I think I need a nap. Or maybe some caffeine.
While it has been a busy year full of changes, it has also been a blessed year. Not just in circumstances (we have had our fair share of challenges) but really in heart growth toward Jesus.
My “One Word for 2013″ really contributed to that incredible growth. [Read more…]
There are few things in this world that make my heart jump into my throat faster than a phone call from my Beloved that starts like this:
“Hey, Sharita. So… I’ve got some news.”
Please excuse me until I stop hyperventilating. (Just kidding.)
But seriously. I can vividly remember early on in our relationship (during a deployment) how those words could bring me to my knees almost immediately. [Read more…]
I am so thankful for the wide variety of random gifts and talents God has so generously given me.
I can write. (Well, at least let’s hope, or this 400+ blogging website is a real issue.) I can sing-ish. And I can even auctioneer. (I’m serious. Maybe I will do a vlog of that someday just for fun?)
But one gift I do not possess? The gift of design when it comes to coordinating a room/decor.
Seriously, up until our current home, I called my design “randomly eclectic.” [Read more…]
Fact: If God wasn’t in charge of this world, we would be in a whole heap of trouble.
Heck. God IS in charge of this world and it still seems like nothing but pain and sorrow.
Specifically on days like Monday when the news broke of the shooting in the Washington Naval Yard. My feelings were all over the place, both questioning and affirming my faith (at the same time if that’s possible.) [Read more…]
Can I get an AMEN? Anybody? So yeah, life on this earth ain’t easy. And that is probably the understatement of the decade.
Maybe it’s just the culture that we live in, but there is so much freakin’ pressure. Every where you look, there’s a Pinterest dream of a home where everything matches and only costs a dime, a housecleaning chart or recipe shared on Facebook sure to make your life a fairytale. It’s all bigger, better, faster, cuter, cheaper, neater…
GAH. There’s just so… much… pressure! [Read more…]
