What Gets Me Through

I was given a devotional a few months ago (from a very thoughtful and great friend!) and it has cHanGed my life in so many ways.  In case you are needing a spiritual boost, help with calming your anxiety, or a reminder that God has good pLaNs for you (even if you currently don’t believe Him!),Continue reading “What Gets Me Through”

{My Published Book}

If you’ve been following the Suede Sofa, you are no doubt familiar with what we call the “LiVe-It LiSt” which is similar to a bucket list but with the focus on living every day to the full rather than on dying.  With the “Live-It List” I  was DeTeRmiNeD to take care of all my “unfinishedContinue reading “{My Published Book}”

{Just Go Home}

Disillusioned with God?  Feel like he has let you down? This reminds me of the little kid who decides he is fed up with Mom and Dad and is going to run away from home.  He packs his bags and heads out the door down the long driveway.  When he gets to the end of the driveway he pauses.  AsContinue reading “{Just Go Home}”

{Bring It!}

LiFe isn’t always EaSy.  Can I just be honest and say that sometimes there are things in life that StiNk.  Yes, I said that 5-letter word. {StiNk!} But I refuse to Be DeFeAtEd!  I won’t GiVe-Up.  It may seem like the FiGhT of my LiFe, but I will PrEvAiL!  I’m fighting the GoOd FiGhT of FaiTh!  God is fightingContinue reading “{Bring It!}”

Don’t Get Caught Up in the Catch Up

How long is that to-do list of yours?  2 pages?  20 items? How many times have you made pRoMises to your loved ones that as soon as your list is marked off then life will be better and you will be able to FINALLY give them your full attention? Having lists can be a goodContinue reading “Don’t Get Caught Up in the Catch Up”
