The Burden of Peas 🫛 and Cheese 🧀 When Your Assumptions Become a Burden You Were Never Meant to Carry!
What in the world do peas and cheese have to do with life’s burdens?! 😂🫛🧀 Imagine sitting in a five-star restaurant when your date orders a peas and cheese sandwich! WHAT?! 🤣 But before you turn your nose up, consider this: Sometimes the greatest burden isn’t what we’re looking at, but the judgment we’re carrying while looking at it! What if the very thing you’ve been rejecting is something God wants you to understand? Get ready for laughter, wisdom, and a powerful Aha Mo

Give Me A Break! Give Me A Break! Break Me Off a Piece of That Kit-Kat Bar! 🍫🤣
GIVE ME A BREAK! GIVE ME A BREAK! Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat Bar! 🍫🤣 What happens when a patient asks for a break while I’m standing there with a needle in my hand? BABY, we turn a blood draw into a musical comedy! 💉😂 But behind the laughter is a powerful lesson about kindness, compassion, and respect. Sometimes people aren’t asking for much. They just need someone to understand what they’re going through. Come laugh with me as we discover how a little kindness

The Big Question…. What If?!? 🤔❤️
What if the fear of repeating your past is keeping you from embracing the future God has prepared for you? After 31 years of marriage, life lessons, disappointments, and unexpected endings, I found myself asking some BIG questions. What if I make another mistake? What if I fail again? But during my morning drive, one powerful Scripture reminded me of something life-changing: Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart! ❤️

Pray! Pray! And Pray Some More! 🙏🔥 No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper!
Pray! Pray! And Pray Some More! 🙏🔥 Why are we waiting until trouble comes knocking before we seek the face of God? Prayer is not just for emergencies! It is our daily communication with our Heavenly Father. Our families, children, communities, and nation need prayer now more than ever. God is calling us to stand in the gap, intercede, and trust Him in every situation. No weapon formed against us shall prosper! Put on the whole armor of God and stand firmly in faith, not fea

It’s A Beautiful Thing! ❤️ He’s Dependable, He’s Reliable, and He’s Self-Sustaining!
Sometimes we're so busy looking for BIG blessings that we overlook the beautiful things God does every day! Waking up, arriving safely at work, having food on the table, and experiencing His love are all reminders of His goodness. He's dependable, reliable, and self-sustaining! Even when life isn't perfect, God remains faithful. The beauty isn't just in what He provides, but in knowing WHO provides it! ❤️�

Conjunction Junction—What’s Your Function? 🤣 When a Patient Gives You a Blog Without Even Knowing It! ❤️
I thought I had heard everything as a phlebotomist—until I walked into a patient’s room smiling with my blood-draw supplies and heard, “Conjunction Junction… What’s Your Function?” 🤣 His nurse and I burst out laughing! But what started as a hilarious patient encounter quickly became an Aha Moment. A conjunction connects things, and sometimes God places us exactly where we are to connect someone to joy, hope, encouragement, healing, or simply a much-needed laugh. ❤️

Bones & Toe Nails 😂
What in the world do chicken feet, Steve Harvey, and pickled pig feet have in common? 😂 Bones & Toe Nails! One hilarious Family Feud moment sent me straight into a childhood flashback of growing up in Bakersfield, California, and walking to the corner store for my favorite pickled pig feet. Sometimes the funniest memories remind us of something we desperately need in this busy life: JOY! Come laugh with me—and yes, we’re bringing God’s Word along too! 😂❤️

Hanging Like a Loose Tooth 😂
Have you ever had one of those days when everything seems to be hanging on by a thread—or maybe hanging like a loose tooth? 😂 Before you let frustration steal your joy, maybe it’s time to laugh! From hairy biscuits to backward shirts and missing glasses sitting right on your head, sometimes life gives us moments that are too ridiculous not to laugh at. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” — Proverbs 17:22 ❤️

Hitch Love ❤️ The Hitchhiker & The Thief 😂
Who says a love story has to begin the “normal” way? 😂 A stolen car, a young hitchhiker, a group of boys, a broken-down engine, and one unhappy father somehow became the beginning of a 46-year marriage! ❤️ Hitch Love is a true story that reminds us that God cannot be placed in a box. Sometimes the most unexpected beginning becomes a beautiful story you never could have planned.

No, No, No! Do You Want Some Cheetos? And I Do! 😂
Have you ever had a conversation go from calm to NO! NO! NO! in seconds? 😳 One tense phone call at work turned into an unexpected lesson when my coworker suddenly asked, “Do you want some Cheetos?” 😂 And I did! What started as frustration became a lesson about kindness, self-control, and de-escalating tense situations. Sometimes God uses the simplest moments—even a bag of Cheetos—to remind us: Redo the response. Choose kindness. ❤️

When Ordinary Is Too Small… Then There Is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 😂
Sometimes “good,” “great,” “amazing,” and “wonderful” simply aren’t big enough! 😂 After a weekend filled with unexpected blessings, kindness, provision, and opportunities I could never have planned for myself, only one ridiculously BIG word came to mind: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 🤣 God reminded me that I don’t have to orchestrate everything. Sometimes I simply need to follow where He leads, trust His timing, and watch Him exceed my expectations. Only God! ❤️🙌🏽

God Has a Great Sense of Humor ❤️ I Loved This!
What if one small act of obedience led you straight into an unexpected blessing? ❤️ On my day off, I felt a gentle nudge from God to get out of the house and go to the mall. I almost stayed home—but I went! What happened next included meeting Sam Edelman, beautiful flowers, new shoes, hot chocolate, a special gift, and wonderful people. Sometimes God places a surprise on the other side of one simple word: GO! You never know what He has waiting for you. 💐❤️

Don’t Worry About a Thing… Cast Your Cares on Him
Don’t worry about a thing! 🎶 Sometimes God uses the simplest moments to remind us that He cares. In the middle of a busy laboratory, one technician started singing—and before long, others joined in. What started as a catchy tune became a much-needed reminder: stop carrying what God told you to cast on Him. The pressure may be real, but so is His presence. ❤️

The Fallen Leaves 🍁 When You Think All Hope Is Gone
🍁 The Fallen Leaves
Fall reminds us that change can be beautiful. Leaves fall, seasons shift, and even our favorite fall treats go through pressing, mixing, and heat before we enjoy their sweetness. Life can feel the same way. What looks like an ending may simply be God preparing you for something new. The leaves may fall, but the tree is still standing—and so are you.

That Part…. I See You! 👀😂
Growing older is not for the faint of heart! 😂 One day you’re moving without a thought, and the next your knees are singing the early-morning blues! But before you start comparing yourself to the younger you, look again. Every wrinkle, gray hair, and changing season carries a story. Don’t curse your golden years—celebrate them. You’re still here, still growing, still becoming. That Part… I See You! 👀✨

Left-Hand Warriors ⚔️
What if the very thing people once tried to change about you was something God intended to use? As a little girl, I was treated differently because I was left-handed. But Judges 20:16 tells us about 700 chosen left-handed warriors who were so skilled they could sling a stone and not miss! Ehud was also a left-handed Benjamite whom God used as a deliverer. Maybe different isn’t deficient—maybe it’s divine design. Welcome to Left-Hand Warriors! ⚔️✍🏾
