Pancake Dreams

Chicks with Choices Pancake Dreams   I awoke from a very vivid dream about pancake batter. My choice in the dream… the crossroad… was the quick, easy pancake mix (just add water) or the involved, homemade batter from scratch (eggs, pure vanilla, healthy whole wheat, real buttermilk). Each bowl of batter sat before my mind’s eye as I slowly [...] read more

Do You Have Rest?

Chicks with Choices Do You Have Rest?   How did you sleep last night? I did okay, except I was up for a time thinking about money and about our firstborn son who is only two and a half years away from college. I panicked. Then I prayed. I chose to remember Who is in control; Who has my life and [...] read more

Take the Higher Road

Chicks with Choices Take the Higher Road    Let’s continue our conversation about Unmet Expectations. I’m a bit wordy today, but passionate. This stuff is huge and within almost everyone I meet.   My sister-in-law left a great quote on my facebook page that said, “Expectations are predetermined disappointments.”    Other helpful quotes I found are:   “Happiness equals [...] read more

Unmet Expectations Can Ruin Everything

Chicks with Choices Unmet Expectations Can Ruin Everything   When I met with my Chicks group to cover Step 5- Learning to Walk, we never reached a conclusion.   Never even scratched the surface of our female, over-analyzing tendencies.   I’ll be honest, the conversation wears me out!   For two reasons:   1) I [...] read more

Chicks with Choices 4 Reasons Women Don’t Take Action   Today we move into Step 5- Learning to Walk.   This step is all about action.  Choice itself is active.  Decisions move us forward.   As women, we have a bit of a problem with this one, however.  The paralysis comes from a tendency our gender doesn’t seem [...] read more

It's Easier to be Against Something Than For Something

Blogged By: Kim Galgano

  Sitting in our living room with dear friends the other day, Mike said, "It's easier to be against something than to be for something." That made me stop and think. This comment is an important key to a subtle problem. Stop a stranger on a city street and my guess is most could articulate well the things Christians are against.  The pedestrian would most likely rattle off a few with passion, just as …Read More

God Gives Do-Overs

Blogged By: Kim Galgano

Prior to vacationing on the mud hole, our family will enjoy a "do-over" vacation on the beach. Not every vacation turns out the way we planned, as mentioned yesterday, but God is in the business of giving the things we desire.  He's not a kill-joy, as some believe. I believed it... the day before our beach vacation, five years ago when I sat in a waiting room, Mom's leg getting …Read More

People like to talk about weather. People like to complain. In the Northwest we're enjoying the perfect combination.  Go anywhere and you'll hear the grumblings, "Sick of it!  …Read More

Praying for Rain

Blogged By: Kim Galgano

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Locals reading my blog title are already lifting umbrellas in pursuit to whack me with it. According to a local news source (thanks, Heather), Seattle has had a 78 minute summer so far ~ that is, temperatures over 80 degrees.  To break it down even further, we had 12 minutes on July 2, and 66 minutes on July 6. Why in the world would I be praying for rain? Because even though I have yet to turn on the hose to …Read More
