Starting With Me First!
I went to bed early last night . . . 9:30 ish. After saying ”goodnight” to my men, I did some light reading and settled down in my yummy bed. I retired early with the intention to get up early for a little quiet time and to hit the gym before work. My sleep was restful […]

Past Issue, 2 - Gratitude
An Unlikely Gratitude by Nicole Walters
Nicole is a lover of football, loud, finished wresting with her curly hair, and grateful for a mom and a mother-in-love who can both cook their butts off.
No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night.

Living the Word of God – Practicing the Presence of God
Good Morning Beloved My Goodness Community,
I am always searching for ways to deepen my relationship with God through practices and behaviors that enhance my awareness and experience of God. It is my most heart-felt intention to see the face of God everywhere, which sometimes feels impossible. But when I’m doing my best, I am at […]
What Have You Done for “You” Lately?
I was raised by my grandmother, who was nearly 60 when I was 5. She had already raised six children of her own and one nephew. I would make the eighth child she’d love and nurture into adulthood. Looking back my grandma was a complex woman. She spoke often about scripture and God, and prayed […]
Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
I spent much of yesterday in prayer and meditation after receiving a clear directive from the Holy Spirit to be still. For days I resisted this stillness for no apparent reason really. But by the end of the day I was given a plan to practice success daily. Now I feel focused and on purpose, and this […]
What You Resist Persists
He can barely hold his little eyes open. He’s so sleep, so cranky, so fussy – he’s even too tired to sustain a cry. We’ve tried singing, rocking, swaddling, and pacifiers, but nothing is working. He insist on staying awake and resisting the obvious - sleep. One yelp after the next he grows more and […]
Chop Wood, Carry Water
Actually, for me it’s been more like feed baby, carry baby, change baby, burp baby, wash baby, rock baby, etc. There so many unanswered questions in my life at the moment. Will I go back to work in a month or so? Full-time or part-time? Childcare? Who, where, and how much? And then there’s the […]
Writer’s Block
No, I don’t have it right now, but . . .
As we continue forward with this magazine, I’ve discovered that writing the articles has not come as easily as I thought they would - most of the time. I thought I’d be able to crank them out like I do dinner, when the mood hits. Or […]
The Season of Things
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to […]
