The day after
It’s the day after.
Today could have been so very different for us all. Instead of waking up this morning with the good news warming our hearts of the “Miracle on the Hudson” – the incredible crash landing of a US Air commercial plane into the Hudson River in New York – in which everyone survived, we could [...]

A Blessed New Year
My prayer for the year 2009 is that we would all be blessed beyond measure!
The dictionary definition of the word blessed: divinely or supremely favored; fortunate; blissfully happy or contented.
Who wouldn’t want a year full of God’s favor, fortune and to be blissfully happy and vastly contented? Sounds divine, doesn’t it?
But how do we receive [...]

And the winner is….
I don’t usually watch the Academy Awards (or any television for that matter), but last night I caught bits and pieces of this grandiose event.
Why is it that I found myself getting misty eyed everytime the award winners got up on stage to accept their award? After all I don’t know these people personally nor have I even [...]

It’s a wonderful life
How many of you watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” during the holidays? (if you are like my family, it is a tradition!) At one point during that movie George Bailey says – “Aren’t you tired of just dreaming about things?” I think about that line a lot during the holiday season. It seems that many people [...]

You have to want it!
Greetings to you all on this lovely crisp, clear, cool autumn morning! What a beautiful day.
I had a wonderful weekend celebrating my daughter Rebekah’s Honor Star crowning. After three years of very hard work & determination she completed a rigorous program that included earning 27 badges, memorizing countless scriptures & the books of the Bible, [...]

It’s a brand new day!
It is a Monday. It is the 1st day of October. It is the beginning of fall.
As I turn the calendar over to a brand new day, week, month & season…..I can’t help but feel that in a small way today is a new beginning, a fresh start, a chance to do new things in a new way, [...]

After this day
In honor of the bright, talented, goal setting, driven, intense, persuasive, strong willed, lovely, going to change the world #4 Lambdin lady – Rebekah – who is turning 12 years old tomorrow, I am posting an updated Monday Motivation that I wrote seven years ago shortly after her 5th birthday. It is very timely in my own life as I am currently saying [...]

Live, Love & Laugh
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
from Casting Crowns song – “Who am I?”
I have spent the past few days pouring over photos of a mans life in preparation for a slide presentation for his memorial service today. He lived 64 years and [...]

Lesson plan for life
Can someone please tell me when the month of August ceased being summertime?
Isn’t August still a time for “floatin’ fools in the swimming pools”, mouthwatering backyard barbecues with friends, carnivals & state fairs, baseball games, enjoying ice coffee & conversation on the patio in the cool of the evening after a sweltering day. (Ok, ok…so I live in [...]

First day of high school – letter to Amy
Life is flying by…at an increasing speed!
Tomorrow morning my fun loving, beautiful, crazy, blonde baby….my “Amy Girl” will begin her first year of high school. As she opens up her lunch bag she will find this note (along with some homemade cookies!)….may it inspire, encourage & challenge you today in whatever season of life you are speeding thru. (and [...]

Change or stay the same
If you keep doing the same thing in the same way….you can expect the same results. This is true in every area of our livesIf we keep eating & exercising (or not) the same way we will continue to look the same.If we keep training & disciplining (or not) our children in the same way [...]

What do you really want?
I had to chuckle yesterday morning as I overheard (and I was not eavesdropping….when you live in a small 1400 square foot home with 8 people…nothing is private) the conversation three of my daughters were having as they were in the bathroom getting ready for church. It went something like this.
Amy: I really want to [...]

In just a matter of days…. Joy will be toddling thru our house!
Yes…..”Joyful” our precious 11 month old baby girl took her very first tiny baby step all by herself last night. And if you would have lived within blocks of our home……there was NO WAY that you would have missed out on this event [...]

Making dreams a reality
Its been a weekend of dreams becoming reality!
Five years ago my husband and I had a dream. After over a decade of ministering at a local Christian high school we found ourselves at a crossroads. No longer able to stay where we were working, and keep our integrity intact, we both found ourselves unemployed. We [...]
