I was reminded this week of our faith journey of the past year. How God used His call of Abram to leave Ur to go to an unknown land to call us out of our church in Plano. How we thought we’d completed the task and finished that faith journey when God led us to… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: “The Bridge”

Back in the Saddle
Today I had the opportunity to do something I haven’t done in quite a while. I was a classroom teacher! I subbed for the first time in Trey’s class. That’s definitely a new experience for me. I’ve been the student with a parent as my teacher before. Several times, in fact. That was my life… Continue reading Back in the Saddle
South Beach Update – Week 11
How easy is the South Beach Diet, you ask? So easy that you can even eat SB-friendly in a hospital cafeteria! Last week was by far the craziest week diet-wise that I could have ever anticipated. Between doctor’s appointments, dentist appointments, “feminine issues”, Cub Scout and Girl Scout meetings, volunteering and crazy last-minute sleepovers, the… Continue reading South Beach Update – Week 11
Tag, I’m it!
3 Joys: 1) My family: my children and being married to my very best friend 2) Diet Coke and milk chocolate 3) music that lifts my heart and renews my soul 3 Fears: 1) losing my children (or my husband) to a tragic accident or serious disease 2) losing our house and having to move… Continue reading Tag, I’m it!
Is this diet South Beach friendly?
There’s a friend of ours, who is undergoing a similar situation in her life, and she shared with me one of the ways she is coping with the stress. It’s all about the food choices we make. Some are good, and others are not. Proper nutrition is definitely a way to keep your body in… Continue reading Is this diet South Beach friendly?
It must have been fate
On my piano teachers forum email group (think of it as a virtual teacher’s lounge for piano teachers…I know, how music nerdy can I get?), there’s been a lot of discussion about a fun website someone discovered. You can click on the links to your birthday and find out the #1 Billboard song for that… Continue reading It must have been fate
South Beach Update – Week 8
It’s back to reality – both for me and for the blog. This week we begin week 8 of our journey on the Beach. We’re definitely finding it easier to eat by the “rules” now, and I’m starting to find that my portion sizes are diminishing as well. Twice this week I went out for… Continue reading South Beach Update – Week 8
Today is the eighth day…
…of Phase Two! We have made it through the first week adding carbs back into our diet, and I discovered, much to my dismay, that we were doing it too quickly. Though we were following the menu plans in the book, online research showed that those menus reintroduce too many carbs too soon and really… Continue reading Today is the eighth day…
Fully Equipped
“….so that the man [woman] of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:17 Today Matt and I attended an event at McKinney Fellowship called “Equipping for Impact.” The intent was to provide training and support for people involved in ALL areas of ministry throughout the church, to equip God’s… Continue reading Fully Equipped
A Year In Review
As we approach the official 1-year anniversary of Debily, I wanted to commemorate the occasion by doing a few special posts. I have seen this meme on a few other blogs, so now I do it for mine. The first sentence of the first post for each month of the year that Debily has been… Continue reading A Year In Review
