Heart to Heart: October 2014

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 29, 2014. It happened… AGAIN! It happens everywhere… It happens at the bank, in the hospital, at parks, restaurants, in waiting rooms, and at school programs. It’s all types of people in all seasons of life… nurses, neighbors on lawn mowers, people walking by with dogs, the gas station attendant, frazzled mom’s dropping their kids off at daycare, and lost teenagers to name a few. 8220;I’m ready for this year to be over, how bout you? I smiled friendly not sure what to say when he conti...

Heart to Heart: Life Change

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015/06/life-change.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. My boys just returned from church camp on Friday. They joined together with about 250 other teens from all across the state of. They played hard during the daytime competing as teams to win challenges and competitions. Then in the evenings they gathered together to seek more of God during the services. It was a life-changing powerful week! It may sound like I was there, but I wasn’t… not this year! But, I remember. That is. My husband and I were in full-time youth ministry for...

Heart to Heart: June 2014

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 9, 2014. I found out recently that I have been blessed with a “third” son. No I did NOT give birth to a new child or adopt. I must admit, I am as surprised by this as you. Let me explain…. At the beginning of this year, we went back on staff as Associate Pastors at a church we were Youth Pastors at almost ten years ago. We LOVE this church! My boys are hardly ever without a friend in their midst. We thought so at the time…. But without even a warning it seems… it snuck up on us. My...SO, I g...

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. My Imperfect Progress…. Hello, my name is Julie and I am IMPERFECT. Yep that’s right! Sorry if you pegged me for anything else. I fail just like the best of them.

I am in pursuit of this thing called…“IMPERFECT PROGRESS”. Have you ever been there? If you have don’t worry, there is hope! Our goal needs to be to make wise...

Heart to Heart: April 2015

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 24, 2015. Recently I was pondering my life… probably because in March I turned a year older. Getting older tends to make you a little more introspective I guess. Well, in my pondering I realized something cool. This year marks OVER half of my entire life spent with my husband! As I scan over the past half of my life, I see a lot of good. That has happened. My husband and I graduated from. Hearts and lives have been changed! This half of my life has been amazing for the most part, but not en...

Heart to Heart: March 2015

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. My boys and I just returned from a trip to my grandma’s house. My husband wasn’t able to go with us so I did all of the driving myself. It was the first time I have driven that far in 9 years since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. It was a long drive that wore me out, but so worth it! It was a milestone for me! I am so proud to say that I DID IT! Why did I make the huge effort to go see my grandma now. My family planned a surprise party to celebrate her 90. That is ama...

Heart to Heart: December 2014

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 4, 2014. Have you ever been in a rush? You aren’t so lucky. You hit every red light, you have to pull over for emergency vehicles, and you have to break up a fight in the back seat amongst your precious angels. By the time you make it… only a few minutes late… you are out of breath and a mess of emotions. I was late, but if I had only planned better the outcome would have been all together different. Once we got into the car the crazy. These people are going to make us late! It sounded...

Heart to Heart: August 2015

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 21, 2015. For those of you who have kids, have you ever felt the weight of not feeling “good enough” when it comes to parenting? Some times I feel like a part-time. Parent. My husband is amazing and an incredible dad, but mom is always. Often I feel like my best effort. Will never measure up to what all of the amazing “Suzie Home-makers” are doing and my kids are missing out. Parenting is difficult, rewarding, exhausting, fulfilling, frustrating, and life-changing! 8221; I was afraid God h...

Heart to Heart: A Letter to the Prodigals

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-letter-to-prodigals.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. A Letter to the Prodigals. My heart ached to fix things for you, but there comes a point when this God thing has to become real and personal to you. You have to own it! God is amazing and oh so real! You were hurt, felt judged, disappointed, and confused. You felt forgotten, unappreciated, and unnoticed. You felt far from God while you made efforts to move closer to Him. Enough was enough. Things did not pan out the way you expected and you gave up… you walke...You felt the most f...

Heart to Heart: "Spiritual Alignment"

http://leavingalegacyonline.blogspot.com/2015/08/spiritual-alignment.html

Sunday, August 2, 2015. Have you ever felt like the demands of life were screaming out at you from the minute you got up in the morning until you dropped that night for bed? Sometimes these “said” demands even invade my dreams. Responsibilities to keep, errands to run, things to do, events to attend, house to clean, ahhhhh…. It’s always never ending. I know that just a moment in His presence can bring peace. To the storms of my life, but I get all caught up in the whirlwind of “busyness.”. I would steal ...
