Author: Obuphio
Nothing too exciting here. I’m 40s. I’m single, and I’m trying to figure out what my life is supposed to be in a society where it doesn’t fit into traditional married with children. I’m working to figure out what God had for me as my best life. Hopefully you’ll get something from my journey.
In the quiet
It's funny. I guess I'm ending this day a lot like it began. My heart is overwhelmed and so I stop and sit in the quiet. Tuesday mornings twice a month I have a women's bible study. I set up coffee and such and so I come early. This morning, thanks to the blessing of… Continue reading In the quiet
Life’s challenges
Well this day did NOT go as planned. If that's not a statement of this whole year, I don't know what is. I got up this morning to go to my orthopedic doctor, as I do about ever 3 months for years, and he shoots my knee, tells me it needs replacing and sends me… Continue reading Life’s challenges
Embracing ordinary
I found the above quote today and I felt like I needed it, more than once. So, I did what I do. I put it on a piece of art to hang up. Here's the thing. I'm as guilty as the next person, chasing something extraordinary and missing what's right in front of my eyes.… Continue reading Embracing ordinary
Bless them Lord (and me too)
Here's a thing you might not know about me. For a season, I lived for the applause...like the literal tangible clapping. I loved dressing up and being someone I'm not and having people say, "hey, you're really good at that." When I first moved to Tulsa, I came off a 6 show straight run on… Continue reading Bless them Lord (and me too)
Broken isn’t pretty but it’s ok
I think I've shared this picture before. I was going to look, but this theme is on my mind tonight. That's how I blog, if you're curious. Something is heavily on my mind and forms into a full idea and I feel compelled to share it here. Today I've thought a lot about brokenness. I… Continue reading Broken isn’t pretty but it’s ok
The Sweet Spot
Life is good. It seems weird to come here to say that after everything we've walked through the last 6 months. However, as I sit here tonight, I can tell you, honestly, life is good. It's a little ironic though because am I where I thought I would be at this point in my life?… Continue reading The Sweet Spot
Inventing storms
Tonight I was listening to a way previous episode of a podcast I started listening to recently. It's called "The Next Right Thing" by Emily P Freeman. I was also doodling on Christmas ornaments at the time. Something caught my attention, so much so that I rewound to get the words just right. How many… Continue reading Inventing storms
Choose Joy
So I said I entered a new season when I entered this house. It's still true. I think with this new season came a new word, not to replace the old word ("GRACE" in case you didn't remember) but in addition to that. You see I haven't mastered grace yet, so it must continue. But… Continue reading Choose Joy
My heart is full
I don't have a whole lot to say. Chalk that up to absolute exhaustion. But right now, taking a break from all the things, it occurs to me that I haven't written lately. I have been doing the dreaded process of moving. I'm still working on the final process at my old house. Tomorrow though… Continue reading My heart is full
This Season....
