Embracing Fall

by gidget life is beautiful

The other day my neighbor and I were talking about how it seemed like it was time to give up on our hopes of a warm summer. All along we kept saying, maybe we’ll just have a warm fall since summer has been so cool, but now we have our doubts. That same day, a [...]

Gidget Goes H.O.M.E.

by gidget faith

Our little family has had quite a few homes over the years… we’ve lived in San Luis Obispo, CA, Orange, CA, Huntington Beach, CA {pictured with our roommate, my brother}, Highlands Ranch, CO, San Marcos, CA {my parents’ house}, and finally we are at home in Encinitas, CA {more on my town coming soon}. All that [...]

His Word in My Heart: June 2010

by gidget faith

I picked this verse because it’s such a good reminder of how to find contentment everyday. Brody’s early morning schedule is giving me some great time with the Lord these days, and I’m trying to really be more aware of my prayer life (more on that coming soon!) and making it a priority. I was [...]

Wow. I just came across an amazing post I had to share. I think I found it via someone on Twitter, but I’m not even sure now. Please go read it, and then I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. I absolutely love how she makes a distinction between happiness and contentment, because I [...]

Contentment Means That Life Is Not On Hold

by gidget faith

Do you ever feel like life is on hold? I hear stories and read blogs about old college friends who are remodeling homes (that they own), and having more babies, and oh yeah, have husbands who are employed. It’s hard to always remember to remind myself that God has me right where I am, right [...]

Going for Contentment in 2009

by gidget faith

I’m not sure when it happened, but there came a time when I simply stopped making New Years’ Resolutions. I guess I thought it became pointless since they usually get broken or forgetten before the ice thaws in the Rockies. I know I made them as a kid, in fact, I remember once writing them [...]

Jekyll & Hyde were here… A Question of Contentment

by Guest Blogger faith

I think that I am living with Jekyll & Hyde. Seriously. It seems absurd that in the time span of .0003 seconds the mood between my children can go from loving each other wholeheartedly, stroking each other’s faces with fairies flying above their heads sprinkling “happy dust” to a scene from Kujo where the dog [...]

Finding Contentment

by gidget faith

Contentment is something I’ve struggled a lot with over the years. While I feel that the Lord has indeed revealed some truths to me in the this area, I still have a lot to learn, and this is why I’m so excited that this fall my moms’ Bible study is going to be reading Calm [...]

STUFF

by gidget faith

Here’s an educational, and actually quite entertaining, short video (about 20 min.) about Stuff, going through the stages Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption, Disposal. It gives an interesting background on consumerism and how our country wasn’t always all about shopping, using, wasting, etc. like we seem to be now. And to be honest, a lot of [...]
