Happy Easter

It isn't about the bunny.  We do enjoy dying eggs, playing games, and eating chocolate & jelly beans for sure, but at least my older family members get it, it really is not about the bunny. We enjoyed a lovely day with family.  We had an incredible morning of church & worship.  We remembered.  The sacrifice our Lord made, coming to us in an "Earth Suit" (as our Pastor says), living among us, feeling every moment of pain, all so that we could be forgiven.  It is beyond comprehension. I am so grateful for the renewed energy, and optimism that has taken hold at Agoura Bible Fellowship.  Spring has brought us a new Pastor, and renewed hope. Happy Spring everyone!  I hope your life is graced with lily's and tulips, optimism, and cheer!

Quiet days of Summer- Ha!! Lol....

Summer is a wonderful time if you have the luxury to stay home with your kids and enjoy the slower pace.  Lazy days, pool time, reading, outings, and spending time at the beach is good for the soul.  If you are a parent who keeps your kids home with you vs. sending them to camp--- there is also a dark side to the lazy days of Summer. I know many Moms who say loud and proud, "I can't wait till Summer!! Oh yeah! Only 3 more weeks!!, Oh no! It's over already! We need a few more weeks!!" Are you one of those? Do you say it with a straight face? Ok, maybe you are sincere.  Bully for you, you win the Mom medal. Those are NOT my people.  I love my kids, don't get me wrong, I really do.  I love reading time, and lego time, and swimming, and picnics at the beach-- as much as any other Mom.  Let's get real for a minute though.  We can't play down the other side of life with kids. The constant fighting The whining The meltdowns (yes one of our guys st...

New season of renewal & refinement

I am a girl with strong faith.  Strong, blind, childlike faith.  My atheist friends are bewildered by it.  They cannot understand how such a smart woman would believe such "nonsense".  I have no explanation other than, I just do. I preface this post with that statement because, you won't find me quoting scripture here.  Though I would if I were more confident in my ability to do so competently.  I do not have that confidence, never have.  I am a believer.  My belief has been nurtured by life experience, by answered prayers, by constant evidence that God cares about me.  I see his hand in big things and small. I look to him for guidance and help in all things.  I am not a Biblical scholar.  I have always been somewhat insecure about that.  I am bolstered up by the words of a Godly woman much wiser than I who assures me that "I am living my walk out loud".  My faith is not in my knowledge of the scripture, but in the...

Let it go

I don't know about you, but for me, life is full of starts and stops.  My mind gets very targeted on a particular thing, and I am very focused, but I have difficulty maintaining that level of focus. Is this a form of Adult ADD?  There are many important things going on in life.  I can multi-task, in fact, I do this to a fault.  Finishing one thing well before moving on to the next is an area in which I am very weak. I probably shouldn't share this, it is pretty personal.  It just occurred to me that there are likely others facing the same challenge.  In true Victoria style, I will throw myself out there-- so that you know you are not alone in your imperfection, lol. Women are in the position of playing multiple roles at all times. - Caretakers - Income earners - Empathizer & friend - Lover - Disciplinarian - Volunteer - Chef - Housekeeper - Clothing purchasing and management - Loving and attentive parent - Tutor The list continues, but...
