What every woman wants to hear

Every woman wants you to know this...

...please know that there are some words that are as valued as an "I love you."

It's not "no, those pants don't make your hips look huge."

It's not "yes, I'll take out the trash today."

It's not "I just won the lottery."

It's this...

You are not alone.

I stand with you in this.

I won't leave you or forsake you.

I am here for you.

I'm listening.

I understand.

It's going to be okay.

I was wrong (even if you were right).

Will you pray with me?

P.S. I love you.

....and that's the way I like it....

It will bridge gaps that could money could never mend.  Try it, I promise you she'll like it.

That's Normal

Nothing like camping out in a hospital room that makes you want to crash for the normal parts of your life.    


It's the disruption of the normal schedule that can throw you off the most.  


Not normal makes you forget where you were going, you have to stop and realize who you belong to. 

Could it be that this sometimes happens to you too?

The things that are not normal can wear one out.  All I can do is lean in close and share a prayer.   

I need to feel the soft touch of my Savior.   

In the middle of all those unsettling things that happen and I need some close whispers…

You are not alone.  

I know more than you,

 I can see deeper than you, 

Don't be afraid to dream.  

I have to understand that the not-normal days are still a part of a greater plan.  And God still has the days numbered even when it's more than I can see right now. 

Some how we make it through, even on the weak and very not-normal days.  Some how we make it.  

When life gets hard .....when life gets loud and not normal.

In the middle of all the noise, there is only One who is true.

Especially when it been one of those not normal weeks.
