The Help

I love that there are occasionally ‘jobs’ that I dread doing…that I know a certain someone will adore pulling off. Seasoning the cast iron tea kettle, for instance… It started slow.  The reticent, one-fingered application. She, much like her mother, is not fond of dirty hands. Apparently grease is in a class of it’s own. The next time I glanced… Read More

How To Keep A Toddler Boy Busy…

for ten whole minutes:   Strap on a backpack.  Preferably a monkey.  Only because it’s fun to say they have a “monkey on their back”.  But, maybe you get out more than I do. Latch the top buckle.  Let him latch the lower one.  When you hear a shriek of delight, simply unlatch. Occasionally you may hear other shrieks.  Simply… Read More

A Whole Lot of Nothing Much

We’ve been busy around here: I have, for the second time in my short life {okay fine…for the 2nd time in 3 short months}, deleted everything on our DVR.  Every.single.thing.gone.  Just because I was trying to delete a single episode of Dinner: Impossible.  It’s a good thing my husband really loves me {and forgives quickly}. But seeing this is a… Read More

New Year’s Revolutions

This might possibly be the first time I’ve crossed over the threshold of a new year without being armed with an extensive list of new year’s resolutions. I’m all about new. And I quite fancy intentional change. {Because I’m ever in need of it} But this year…I just wasn’t feeling it. {I am, however, beginning to feel the after-effects of… Read More

Ode to Bambi

I interrupt your regularly scheduled blog post to bring you this absolute mind-numbing nonsense… While on this marital tilt-a-whirl ‘Tis true, I have become a country girl He wooed this city girl and now I can’t see my neighbors…but maybe a cow? I’ve now grown 2 humans and vegetables…bliss! {Isn’t there a super-hero cape for this?} But the part that… Read More

15 {Potentially Awkward} Things…

                              You probably don’t know about me.                     {and quite possibly, don’t want to} I think sweaty feet smell like buttered popcorn {which, needless to say, I don’t care for}, and belly-button “jam”, like parmesan cheese {which, disturbingly enough, I do enjoy}. I really want a tattoo.  I’m just far too chicken to go through with it, which is odd… Read More

simplyflush.net

I decided late last night that it was time to get my own domain name. Not because my little blog is working magic in the blogosphere or any reason remotely that extravagant, but simply because I’m tired of typing .blogspot.com. I’m lazy like that. I had grandiose plans, I tell you. Until I discovered I was too late.  Simplybloom.com was… Read More

The enemy tempts us. Then shame convinces us to hi The enemy tempts us.
Then shame convinces us to hide.

But God’s first response to human failure wasn’t condemnation.
It was a question: "Where are you?"
Not because He didn’t know.
But because healing requires that we name where we are,
and freedom comes as we choose to bravely step out of hiding.
