Brandi's Lifesong: July 2015
http://brandislifesong.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Below is what I wrote and then spoke at my Mamaw Pilkenton's funeral on Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Mamaw Pilkenton (Arlenia Rose Pilkenton). Hans Christian Anderson once said, “A human life is a story told by God.” The Bible reminds us in Psalm 107:2 “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story- -those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”. Let us pray…. In your Son’s precious name we pray, AMEN. You see I don’t own any of those memories, but many of you do. I invite yo...But her...

Friday, September 5, 2014. My Journey with God. This is my response to the challenge issued by my sister in law Brandi Cade (see blog post: http:/ brandislifesong.blogspot.com/2014/09/psalm-2222-i-will-declare-thy-name-unto.html. The challenge is to share my journey with God. Hmmmm God and I go way back, so this will take a hot minute! Let's start from the beginning, shall we? My parents prayed with me every night at dinner. Every night, my mom and dad prayed with me. They took me to church every Sunday ...

Monday, August 15, 2011. We're in the LIBRARY! Jenna, Lexie, and I went to the Taylors Branch Library on August 13th, 2011. Jenna had been to the Library before, but we'd never gotten her a card of her own. She finally got a card and she was so proud of it! She read 6 books while we were there. :) She is getting better and better at reading, I am so proud of her! The title of this post is what I feel like I repeated every 30 seconds to Lexie. haha. Jenna signing her Library Card! View my complete profile.

The Pickle Jar: April 2014
http://fromthepicklejar.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 14, 2014. The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started. I have the quote posted above printed and hanging next to my desk at work. It's a reminder for me. Not only do I have the capacity for hope, but when I have hope, I will also have energy to make it through to my destination. My husband recently accused me of being "too positive.". Try these 3 things every day:. Hug someone. Your spouse...

Monday, March 28, 2011. Father Daughter Dance 2011. Jenna had the absolute time of her life on Friday, March 11th, 2011. Her daddy surprised her with a REAL tiara! Her smile could not have gotten any bigger when she saw the sparkly gift and quickly had me put it in her hair. She was getting ready for her first Father Daughter dance. They had a really great time and Jenna felt like a princess. They even took "prom photos" at the dance- - that's the last pic below! Father Daughter Dance 2011. Would grow to...

The Pickle Jar: January 2013

Saturday, January 5, 2013. Meet the "Offer" - Mice on Main. Welp, December 15, 2012, would be their lucky day! And what a lucky day it was- not just for them, but for my Aunt Donna and myself too. We walk into the Mast General Store, and there sat two ladies at a table with copies of Mice On Main, some mice plush toys, and other Mice On Main souvenirs. Not only that, they were just a few minutes away from packing up and leaving when we walked up, surprised, not realizing what was about to happen. I love ...

Brandi's Lifesong: A Family Affair
http://brandislifesong.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-family-affair.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. When your child has food allergies, it becomes a family affair. When two of your children have food allergies, it becomes a family affair. When one of those children gets put on a feeding tube because of so many food allergies and a rare disease called eosinophilic esophagitis, it continues to be a family affair. We haven't entered this stage in life for Tori just yet. Just because your child has some special needs doesn't mean you quit including them. As a matter of fact, i...
