Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I come here to share my thoughts and feelings about stumbling through life and motherhood with the twin Sheets (Colin and Sofia), my oldest daughter (Olivia) and my best friend and partner in parenting crime, Vincent.

Five Minute Friday--Look

Go!

"What does not satisfy when we find it was not the thing we were desiring."  C.S. Lewis

Human beings spend so much time looking for things--lost car keys, a good TV show to watch on Monday evening, a new job, true love.  In all the searching, we still seem to come up empty.  Whether we never find our missing car keys or we go through life never feeling like we've met our soul mate.

Seek and ye shall find.

The best thing we can look for and that we're guaranteed to find is God and His love.  He will never leave us.  He's the one constant in our lives that we can count on.  Finding him will ensure we find all the other pieces in our lives that we cannot seem to find on our own.  What a great blessing is this!

Stop!


Here's the scoop on Five Minute Friday from Lisa Jo herself:

Five Minute Friday


We write for five minutes flat. All on the same prompt that I post here at 1 minute past midnight EST ever Friday. And we connect on Twitter with the hashtag#FiveMinuteFriday
No extreme editing; no worrying about perfect grammar, font, or punctuation.
Unscripted. Unedited. Real.
It started because I’d been thinking about writing and how often our perfectionism gets in the way of our words. And I figured, why not take 5 minutes and see what comes out: not a perfect post, not a profound post, just five minutes of focused writing.
So now on Fridays a group of people who love to throw caution to the wind and just write without worrying if it’s just right gather to share what five minutes buys them. Just five minutes.

  1. Love the post! It's so true. It breaks my heart to see so many people I know searching for things that will not satisfy. Thanks for sharing. Came by from 5 min Friday.
