Journey to the Unexpected

And so goes...the love/hate relationship I'm developing with my new running coach. I met Julia last week, knowing I needed help to meet some fitness goals for 2012--including running a marathon. She sized me up quickly and immediately employed sarcasm, like gasoline to fuel me from excuses to the

A Refuge From The Storm

Yesterday was a glorious day in Branson. My friend, Mary and I walked along an acorn-strewn path overlooking Table Rock Lake. We marveled at God’s display of autumn colors. He was showing off in the Ozarks! We decided to walk down to the Branson Belle shops. ”There’s a cold front coming in tonight.

Do You Have a Servant’s Heart

I eat out alot. Over the years, I’ve experienced a multitude of waitresses. When you get a really good one, you remember her. Two years ago I walked into Ruby Tuesday’s. Gayle seated me and asked what I wanted to drink. It was cold that day. ”A fresh and steamy hot cup of coffee.” Within moments, Ga

The Cost of Love

I’ve been thinking alot about the “Cost of Love”. Much of what I beleived about love was not love at all, but rather a combination of fantasy, romance and wishful thinking. As little children, fairytales like Cinderella and Snow White are read to us over and over again. As we grow older, our minds a

What does your Self-Portrait say about YOU?

A good friend and very wise woman used to tell me all the time, ”Coleen, you are a 4-part being.” Perhaps at the time, I wasn’t ready or able to understand this. In the past year, due to major changes in my life, I BECAME READY. I wanted to know about these 4-parts. I knew there was more to life and

The Promise of a Harvest by Choosing Discipline

As children we were disciplined by our parents and teachers. Hopefully, when we became adults we made good choices as a result of  this discipline. When I invited Jesus into my heart 15 years ago, I learned  a different kind of discipline; discipline to read the bible. At first, I found it difficult

REACHING YOUR GOALS

I’ve been learning alot about goal-setting this year. I’ve always been a goal-oriented gal. I love making lists and placing a checkmark next to it. Even if the item on the list is mundane like “do the laundry”, seeing that checkmark gave me a sense of accomplishment. What I’ve noticed with bigger go

Is There A Mountain In Your Life?

Branson was blanketed with snow three days ago. Roads slick with ice but cabin fever setting in, people were venturing out. I hadn’t checked my mailbox since Monday and was expecting a package. I decided to trek down the steep mountain-like hill.  I chose my steps carefully, so as not to slide or tu

Where Are You Headed This Year?

New Years day is a time to reflect—on the past as well as the future. It is a “Doorway”. You stand at a crossroad—saying goodbye to one year and preparing for another. The word January actually comes from a Roman God named Janus–meaning  ”God of the DOORWAY”.  Two years ago, I wrote my first custom
