1. Creative Discovery Museum Chattanooga, TN
2. McWane Science Center Birmingham, AL
3.Earlyworks History Museum Huntsville, AL
4. Imagine It! Atlanta, GA

Spring has Sprung


The air conditioning is on; we've made an attempt at a yard sale (a whole drama in itself), and the sneezing and watering eyes are upon us. Spring has FINALLY sprung. We're cleaning out closets, moving furniture, and frolicking in the lovely weather.
In an effort to cleanse my mind, let me clarify a few of my horribly misunderstood postings. I DO NOT dwell in the past. I do, however, learn from my experiences, and use my knowledge from previous experiences to guide my actions. I also often write about past experiences because time allows both my heart to heal and my spirit to gain clarity. Often time the events that occur presently are too profound to share, and I hold them sacredly until the balming affects of time draw out purpose and strength. And finally, this blog is an honest and humble account of my personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences. A record of my life's journey in thought and action. nothing more. And with that, Spring has officially sprung. :)

Nashville

I got the traveling itch again...

Strength in Numbers


"You will find it much easier to exercise faith when your faith is sustained by the faith of others as in the case that many physical tasks cannot be accomplished unless people combine their physical strength, so it is with many righteous desires."
-Drawing on the Powers of Heaven

My brother sent me this sweet quote the other day and it's been bouncing around in my head ever since.
So often I find myself striving to be the perfect mother, wife, and sister, and I want to do it all by myself. I forget that God often uses us to strengthen one another. He lets us learn and grow by combining both our physical and spiritual strengths. I am so blessed to have friends who buoy me with their faith when I am weak, and I hope that I can always be humble enough to allow God to use my strengths and compensate for my weaknesses.
