Carolyn Carroll, My Personal Prayer Warrior

This is one of the most important women in my life and I've never met her in person. She has taught me things I would have never imagined about the love of God and the staying power of man. I love you, Care, for posting the scriptures, the encouragement, and all the prayers.

If you're on Facebook, link to Carolyn Carroll and you'll see your own life change too.

What are Tears?

Tears, are they just salty little driplets of water? Are they something more?

My tears are like little reflections of my heart, a small snapshot of my pain, a quiet droplet from my joys. They reflect the inner me that no one and nothing can corrupt. They are my tears and I am filled with a lifetime of them.

Embracing Me

I've had to learn to embrace me. I don't need a relationship, friendship or validation from any other source than my Creator. But until I embrace me, I've not fully yielded to His perfect will and love. I embrace myself because I am made in the image of my Heavenly Father. I embrace me because there is nothing in life I'm more responsible for than myself.

Becoming: The Poetry that Changed My Life

The poetry in Lacresha Hayes' sweet memoirs, Becoming, changed my life forever. There are many things I don't know how to express, but I can't think of any of it I didn't feel and read about in her book. This is the poetry that will keep ringing in my heart for the rest of my life.

If you want a copy, you can either visit her website by clicking on her name above or visit Amazon.com.

Wackiness

I've been wacky my whole life. I am a fortunate little daddy's girl who grew up appreciating her dad's own corky version of comedy. He was a prankster, a real joker. I love that even today, when I go home, he is still just as entertaining and I am equally entertaining to him.

We're a wacky family of McLemores, but we love life and can find the comedy in anything.

I Hate Tulips

I don't care much for tulips. In fact, I could say that I pretty much hate them. They remind me of things I'd rather forget. Boo to tulips. A fresh and warm welcome to carnations or daisies.

Just In Case

We all have those just in case plans. We have emergency funds just in case something happens. Sometimes though, we have back up plans for things that shouldn't have them.

We date around, we sleep around and I've done my share, just in case the current one doesn't work out. Now, I need a plan for those just in case I'm making a mistake moments.
