Still Alive »

I made it through the winter, that is if it’s finally over. I dare to hope!
I will remain scarce here though because I’ve actually started clearing stuff out around this place to prepare for our move.
The closet? No, I haven’t tackled it yet but soon, very soon.
I’m using the Holly motto when purging. I don’t […]

The Folly of Seeking the Benefits »

By Molly on Feb 29, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, Goals | 6 Comments

I haven’t been on my little blog much lately. Instead I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I’ve thought and I’ve thought and as minutes turned into hours, hours into days, still I could be found thinking about the Christ, Jesus the Christ to be exact.
I’ve thought about the definition of the word Christian, which […]

The Closet Won Round One »

By Molly on Jan 18, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, Goals | 13 Comments

In the interest of being completely honest… I haven’t purged even one thing from that dern closet. It seems to taunt me the last couple nights as I pass it on my way to bed. The door remains slightly ajar no matter how many times we attempt to shut it. I assume it’s the closet’s […]

You Just Can’t Plan Ruthless »

Dear Journal,
I took a look in the closet this morning and quickly decided that I wasn’t feeling nearly as ruthless as I needed to be. I picked up my cup of coffee and headed downstairs in order to recruit some help.
Hubby said he thought cleaning out that closet was a great idea and that […]

Busy, Busy, Frightfully Busy »

You’ve no idea what I have to do…
Dear Journal,
Isn’t that the bestest Veggies Tales song?
Every morning I wake up with the Lord prominent in my thoughts. I’m not sure if it’s the anticipation of huge changes coming that’s forcing me to focus on Him. Maybe it’s the Lord keeping me focused in order to […]

I smell brownies »

By Molly on Jan 8, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, It's a Good day | 4 Comments

I don’t experience it often enough but when the day nears it’s end and I feel I’ve accomplished everything the Lord has set before me, it’s a very good day.
The laundry is nearly done; I can even see the floor again. A few other tasks I actually had planned to do have been checked off […]

How cold was it? »

By Molly on Jan 4, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, Things to Remember | 11 Comments

I have a habit of forgetting the bad as long as it is far enough behind us. I can even romanticize things that really weren’t necessarily all that wonderful. While remembering only the enjoyable about people can sometimes be a good thing, it’s not the same with circumstances. With this habit in mind, I think […]

Little Boys and Learning to Pray, Precisely »

By Molly on Jan 3, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, Can't Complain | 4 Comments

Journal Dearest,
Jared came by with the boys this morning. Little Jared is talking now and when he left he said, “Good-bye… I love you.” Such sweet words from a little one who barely knows me. I have to admit I was surprised at how touched I was by his words. Isaiah has gotten really […]

Friends are such a blessing »

By Molly on Jan 2, 2008 in 2008 Journal Entry, It's a Good day | 2 Comments

Dear Journal,
Today was the last day of vacation for both the boys and hubby. Tomorrow we will all return to our old routine, the routine that allows for so little time together. It’s a bit sad but there isn’t anything I can do about it. Sometimes I wish I could turn all three of the […]

Starting Fresh »

Dear Journal,
Finely, the holidays - isn’t holiday suppose to mean holy days? - are over. Today is a new year, January 1st, 2008. I couldn’t be happier.
Every year the month of December becomes just a little bit harder to bear. The commercials, the shopping, all of the spending for things that aren’t necessary to […]
