Navigating the twist and turns of life. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Do You Need a Shot? February 15, 2014. I sat on the table waiting for the doctor. Minutes ticked by while I surveyed the room. Doctor instruments lay on a smaller table. I stared at them looking for the needle. I hate those long pointy things that prick skin even if the liquid injected is the antidote for my pain. Why does it require pain to relieve pain? Will the shot hurt? Yet, a week later, I sat in the doctor’...

Renewed Heart: November 2013
http://annettestonger.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Life is filled with the unexpected, isn’t it? We never anticipate what is around the next bend in the road. Most of the time, we truck along without thinking about any potential head-on crashes or side swipes. We don’t anticipate someone or something interrupting our smooth sailing, and in a split second, life changes. My human nature cries, “Unfair! The very phrase I spout so quickly to m...

Renewed Heart: June 2012
http://annettestonger.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10. Friday, June 22, 2012. 8220;Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances or this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (I Thessalonians 5:16-18). Over a year ago, I began a gift list sparked by reading Ann Voscamp’s book, One Thousand Gifts. Yet, God does ask me to give thanks “in” all circumstances. My journey thus far has taken me to number 908 gifts:. Enjoying time with my parents. Spontan...

Renewed Heart: Caring for Creation
http://annettestonger.blogspot.com/2013/10/caring-for-creation.html
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10. Monday, October 28, 2013. Last night I dreamed about riding the transit bus. Weird? But, it’s “waste” week in The 7 Experiment Study. Why is it these fasting weeks occur at the most inopportune times in my life? And, sharing a car doesn’t work in a family that spends four days a week driving to gymnastics an hour away. Gardening? Sarcasm aside, waste week for me will be a hodgepodge of elements. Since we already r...

Carry On, Warrior. Bring G to You. Carry On, Warrior. Bring G to You. Get G in Your Inbox! Read This And Change Your Parenting Experience Forever. January 7, 2014. One of the questions folks ask most often is:. G, I’m drowning in the mommy wars. How do I escape from all the mom-petition? My answer is always this: If you need it to disappear, stop believing in it. Competition is just like shame. It only exists for people who believe it does. I don’t know where do avocados come from? People attempted ATTAC...

Everything in my life has brought me here. Rainer Marie Rilke. My Life in Tabs. A to Z Challenge 2012. Five Minute Friday: Last. I didn't know it would be the last time I got to talk to him. I didn't know it would be the last time I told him I loved him. I didn't know it would be the last time I hugged him. I didn't know it would be the last time I saw his smile. I didn't know it would be the last time I heard his laugh. I didn't know I was about to enter into a world where. From the mind of. This touche...

the journey: Small is the new Big
http://emilyrenee.blogspot.com/2013/08/small-is-new-big.html
Everything in my life has brought me here. Rainer Marie Rilke. My Life in Tabs. A to Z Challenge 2012. Small is the new Big. 5 Minute Friday is a weekly meme created by Lisa-Jo Baker. For years, I have associated. With not big. It's a word about little things of little importance. It is a word about things that aren't going to make a difference or change a life. It's about things that don't matter and won't matter. But, lately I've been thinking something new. What if small is the biggest word of all?

the journey: Fear, Failure and the Future
http://emilyrenee.blogspot.com/2013/08/fear-failure-and-future.html
Everything in my life has brought me here. Rainer Marie Rilke. My Life in Tabs. A to Z Challenge 2012. Fear, Failure and the Future. I'm on day four of the Start Experiment with Jon Acuff, and I'm already feeling the pressure and internal struggle coming. Start is all about getting off your bottom, getting moving, and. Already. I get that, and I'm excited to do it or I wouldn't have signed up. But, I'm not going to lie. There is real, honest, fear in doing so. What am I afraid of? I am afraid of failing.
