Being Seperate in a "Normal" World
Not yet published.
This is a picture of Alaena and her "Shaw-aw-awn" (Southern little girl for Shawn.) She loves Shawn. Funnily enough, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to how country she sounded when she said his name. Likely because I'm a southern girl, with southern parents, southern grandparents. In other words, what I heard was normal. However, Shawn said, "She sure is country when she says my name." Now don't misunderstand, Shawn has a southern drawl to compete with the best of them, but he has... Read Full Story

Well, Blogging Buddies, I know that it has been forever since my last post. Life has been so hectic and crazy that I felt I could never catch my breath, much less make logical statements from the million thoughts floating through my brain. My boyfriend Shawn said he has never met people who go so much, what he doesn't realize is that though I am used to going a lot, the past several months has been insane, even for me. Because of the hectic state of things, I decided to take the week after... Read Full Story

Hi Blogging Friends! I know it's been forever since I posted. Things have been totally hectic and finding the time to think has been hard, much less finding the time to put those thoughts into some sort of coherent piece that you could read. Anyway, I promise to be back to normal blogging soon, but I wanted to ask all of you to pray for my family. My Grandpa Cockman passed away on the 4th. He and my grandma would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in December. He was ready, and he... Read Full Story

I am a promise I am a possibility I am a promise With a capital "P" I am a great big bundle of potentiality And I am learning to hear God's voice And I am trying to make the right choice I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be Last night I went to Raegan and Trace's end of year program at school. Very, very cute. Lots of laughs had by all. But it also held a great message. The song above was the theme of the whole program. It's just a catchy little tune but look how true it is. Each...

Matthew 17:19-21: 19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Well blogging buddies, I know I have been pretty much silent lately. Life has been... Read Full Story

John 10: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30I and my Father are one. Do you ever have those days where you don't "feel" saved? You woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and everything seems to be going wrong. Your socks don't match, your hair is a frizzy mess, you spill Dr. Pepper all down the front of... Read Full Story

Yesterday morning I got to go into my Uncle Joel's Sunday School class. Normally I'm teaching, but I didn't have any students yesterday, so I got a break. And although I believe that those I normally teach should have been in Sunday School, I think that God had a hand in my being in my uncle's class yesterday. Because I got my toes stomped a bit. Or a lot actually. He talked about Gideon in Judges chapter 6. Now we all know Gideon, he was the guy who God used to defeat the Midianites with an... Read Full Story

I'm not sure if I have mentioned my brother's best friend Bobby on here before. He and my brother have been buddies all of their lives. They got into trouble together as youngsters, made some dumb decisions together as teens, and they were both called to preach as young adults. Currently they are in the same Bible College. This past weekend Ben and Bobby came home to discuss the possibility of having a youth revival at my church with young preachers from the college. This has been okayed, and... Read Full Story

To all, well, I know it's been a week since my last post. A lot has been going on since then. Some really good stuff, some really bad stuff. Just a lot. Anyway, I don't have much time this morning, but I kind of wanted to give you a little update. Mark's trial was continued until May so it's another period of waiting and wondering what is best on that front. I talked to him, and he seemed to be on cloud 9 about it for a few hours saying that God was on his side. I'm not sure what happened... Read Full Story

Well, I know I'm probably like the last person to do this because I have been so out of the blogging loop over the last several months. I wrote my letter. And I wanted all of you to have the opportunity to do so to. It will not only be a blessing to you but to others as well, and all of the proceeds out of this project will benefit Compassion International. So go check it out!! Read Full Story
