You called and said I have not changed, but I didn't know I was supposed to. Couldn't get it through my mind that you didn't love me how I was. I let you spend me the way we can only be spent once, but you didn't need me the way I needed you. I had no family, no God, so I worshiped you. Decided you would be the only family I need. You said I haven't changed. In what way were you hoping? I would've done it. Like walking in a sand storm, the sand moved beneath my feet, the air

Yes, being a parent is almost no fun. When you think about the fact that you're not gonna be getting much sleep for two years straight (or more, depending on how many kids you have), and every moment of your time and mental space is going to be dedicated to another person, And the fact that you really don't have the time to take care of yourself adequately for an extended period of time, and then pile on the fact that your kids don't really understand all the work that you're

Today I saved my son's super cute green knitted sweater that I got him for St. Patrick's Day, his birthday. I also saved a pair of sweatpants my sister gave me and a pair of my son's athletic jogging pants. I got a fabric shaver for nine or $10 online however I got my first fabric shaver at the dollar store for $1. I haven't seen much difference in quality between the dollar store version and the one I got from Walmart. My husband threw away my dollar store fabric shaver thin

I'm making a big decision not to work outside the home anymore; at least not for a corporation; not for Boeing as an industrial engineer. I'm unmotivated; not willing to do it anymore. If I'm honest, I've hated it (dreaded it) often; though I've had periods of glory, success, enjoyment of my abilities, a sense of accomplishment and importance. But I've been counting down my final days since I got pregnant in July 2019 and the final date just keeps getting pushed out. Daniel (

Where Did the Name for Sequoia Mission Come From? The title of this website is God inspired. Prior to prayer for a name for my website, I had no particular interest in or knowledge about Sequoia trees. A quick internet search about what makes Sequoias special revealed the mission for this website: “Giant sequoia specimens are the most massive individual trees in the world.” At the time of creating this website I was only a child in Christ subsisting on milk, but now have move

Becoming Christian has been a daily experience. It's something I continually work on with joy and interest. I ask Jesus to reveal more to me and guide me to a better, more solidified understanding of what he wants out of me. It's a continual process, don't be discouraged. People talk about experiences with the Holy Spirit, but that doesn't mean that their journey towards God has been accomplished. Jesus says in the Bible, he dines with sinners, he is here to heal the sick, h

God is omniscient, omnipotent, and righteous. So why pray if God already has a plan, already knows what you want and wants good to happen to you? God is beyond the universe. He is all the rules of physics and math, the alpha and omega of all of it, and more. The universe is subsidiary to God. Much of the universe is governed by eternal laws that we humans have named physics, math, and other science categories. Recently, we humans have proven that randomness does exist in the

These epiphanies are in no particular order. In fact, the state of consciousness that God gave me, to see the truth, was really all at once. It's me who has parsed it out and organized the experience into numbered epiphanies. Before, I talked about the love, the beauty, the clarity of vision, the understanding of our worth and purpose on this earth. I touched on a lot in "My Testimony - Epiphany 1"that had to do with relief and joy. Now I want to talk about what made me cry
