The Body Image Battle

January 9, 2021 agoolsby2 Comments

I have a confession. I am a body shamer.

This is not something I’m proud of or happy about; it’s something that deeply saddens me. That sadness carries a shame of its own.

Thoughts on Soul

December 28, 2020 agoolsbyLeave a comment

As big Pixar fans, we’d been looking forward to watching the studio’s new movie, “Soul”, on Disney+. Learning more information on the creators and thought process behind the film in an episode of “Inside Pixar” made us even more excited to see it. So, after the kids were snuggled into bed in a post-Christmas slumber… Continue reading Thoughts on Soul

The Power of a Love Song

August 8, 2019 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Music has always been a powerful force and connector for me. When I was young I would always think of the perfect song to communicate what I was thinking or feeling. Songs always seemed to say it better than I could.

Meaningful Tears and Answered Cries

January 9, 2015January 8, 2015 agoolsby2 Comments

I found this post I drafted just two short weeks before our now four month old little one started to grow inside me. Oh how a matter of days can so drastically change your life – and show God’s faithfulness! This is a very important reminder for me right now. As I await God’s next… Continue reading Meaningful Tears and Answered Cries

The Kindness of Grace

January 26, 2012 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Grace sounds like such a soft word. It sounds so meek and passive – like something that could never be strong enough to effect change. I think somewhere deep inside of me I’ve thought that to be the case. But over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized – deeply – just how wrong I… Continue reading The Kindness of Grace

It’s Been Done Before

January 7, 2012 agoolsby2 Comments

This week I decided to start down a road that one of my roommates has deemed a bit crazy – and she’s probably right. I decided to start training for a half marathon. That in itself isn’t so crazy; lots of folks around here do that all the time. But I’m going from few and… Continue reading It’s Been Done Before

A Lesson in a House

February 2, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

For the past 3 years I’ve lived just outside of the city and spent countless time and dollars commuting.  Not so much for work, but for the rest of my life.  I absolutely love my house and really wish I could just move it.  But since that’s not possible I’ve taken steps to move closer… Continue reading A Lesson in a House

Listening Through the Pain

January 24, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

Picture the situation.  You have long been a slave under a ruler of a foreign country when along comes a man who says God has told him to demand the ruler let you go.  You are excited and hopeful, right? Well, that is until the ruler responds not by letting you go, but by making your job… Continue reading Listening Through the Pain

Happiness is…Friends on the Fridge

January 5, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

I don’t know about you, but I’m not a clear fridge kind of girl.  I have magnets, notes, etc. on there.  And pictures.  I recently did the yearly rotation of photos, replacing the old ones with the updated shots folks sent during the holidays.  As I was standing in the kitchen yesterday I looked at… Continue reading Happiness is…Friends on the Fridge

Follow the Leader

October 18, 2009 agoolsbyLeave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of days away from the office on a leadership development excursion.  One of our facilitators was also a river guide and shared a story with us that spoke volumes to me spiritually.  I’d asked God for revelation through the sessions and He… Continue reading Follow the Leader
