Posted on August 27, 2016August 29, 2016 by shelimassie

  A blanket of sadness has covered our family this year. Our village. Our world. And when sadness comes I want to run. But this, what has happened recently,could break me. I know this. I am fully aware that this might all be too much. So I  texted my people and whispered “what if I…

The loneliest marriage- when the sin of making your children happy has stolen the gift of your covenant. .

Posted on October 3, 2014 by shelimassie

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Psalm 25:16 It’s not anything to be proud of. If anything its embarrassing. To sit before your best friend with tears and say you have never been lonelier. My life is full. Full of children. Full of friends. Full of schedules. Full of…

Dear girls, I am sorry I should have told you what beautiful is.

Posted on July 24, 2014 by shelimassie

Dear girls, I am sorry. I am sorry for not telling you. For not telling you that today you are beautiful. I am sorry for not reminding you that when the jeans don’t fit. You are beautiful. When you are sitting alone at the lunch table. You are beautiful. When you are the only one…

. This post was originally posted September 2013. I have been asked recently to tell part of my story again If for the only reason for one person to know they are not alone. You see when we start live in truth others don’t feel so isolated. When we live in truth we stop placing people…

I didn’t come to Jesus from your Facebook posts.

Posted on April 11, 2014 by shelimassie

I have a hard time with Facebook occasionally. Don’t get me wrong I love to post selfies of a new haircut, Instagram my kids being kids, or take an occasional test to see what Downton Abbey character I would be (Anna). But my problem lies in the public bashing of sins. I thank my lucky…

Like tar around my bones.

Posted on April 4, 2014 by shelimassie

I remember thinking this is it. These are my last sane moments. The darkness wrapped like tar around my bones. I couldn’t breathe much less complete a sane thought. I would check my phone seeing if anyone had called me. Coming to save me from the darkness that loomed. That somehow believing that if someone…

Posted on December 25, 2013 by shelimassie

Merry Christmas! We did it. 25 days of love was quite an adventure. Days when we thought we knew what love would look like it turned our worlds upside down within moments.

I don’t even know where to begin. This afternoon as I was cleaning up vomit once again the doorbell rang. The sweet delivery girl had no idea that I would end up a crying mess as she handed me a bouquet of gorgeous Christmas flowers. She asked if I was ok. And all I could…

day 15–hot cocoa love.

Posted on December 15, 2013 by shelimassie

Well…sometimes things don’t go as planned, especially when it comes to loving people. Today was one of those days. The challenge for today was to bring hot cocoa to the Salvation Army bell ringer. Apparently they do not ring the bell on Sundays. Oops. So we headed out after church with a bunch of hot…

25 days of love…..so put away that elf…..

Posted on December 1, 2013 by shelimassie

We don’t do Santa. We used to so don’t be a hater and hear me out. We used to stand in line with our crying toddler and make her sit on a large bearded strangers lap. We used pay through the nose for pictures of a large man who claimed he was from the north…
