Catch Up With JulieMoore On Life

Well I slipped over here to check on this blog and found there’s lots of activity going on here. Wow I’m surprised since I haven’t posted in months! I’m posting over at GraceFull Women.

Hoping all those checking in here will mosey on over to GraceFull Women and see what you think.

Some good news is that I published my first book A Lasting Legacy. I’m also a staff writer at Christian Women’s Online Network Magazine and I’m writing for our church/community newsletter monthly. God has blessed me beyond my imagination.

The family is doing great. Hound and Chelle, the newlyweds, are working and going to school. The Fox has begun working on her PhD while she holds down her job as a teacher. And The Train is working hard and long but we enjoy time together every evening.

I’ve got some new Tv shows: Alcatraz, The Voice, and we’re still watching Survivor, House, American Idol, watch out for Phillip Phillips and Parenthood. Recently I gave up on Days of Our Lives. At first it was easy but the longer I don’t watch the more curious I become as to what is happening. Strange.

Also tried to lose some more weight. Went on a healthy nutritionally diet and lost a few pounds but the first taste of Kate’s birthday cake and the addiction to sugar began all over again. I really thought I could eat just one piece and be fine but this proved to me that sugar is an addiction. An addiction I am having a hard time kicking!

I have acquired many new followers over at GraceFull Women and even have a facebook page. Found out women like to give testimony to what God has done in their lives so now they have their chance on my blog. Go by and read the testimonies, some of them you won’t believe, but do believe it. God is in the miracle business of changing lives.

Well that’s a brief recap of Julie Moore On Life. Thanks for following me here and I hope you’ll join me there.

Are You Afraid To Walk Through This Door?

Enter in the door.

The Room of Grace is a safe place.  It’s the place you go to take off all your masks and be yourself. As you walk through this door you know everyone accepts you even if you have visible sin and if you are hiding invisible sin you’re free to confess it. As a matter of fact […]

Has Your Ship Sailed?

It crossed my mind as my son and I talked about his college education…. how can I expect him to know what he wants to do with the rest of his life NOW when I have just found what I want to do with mine at the age of 47? Strange how our expectations of […]

Photo Edit Challenge My Reflection of Something

My edit

This is another edit me challenge from My Reflection of Something. My editing process was simple. I used Windows Photo Gallery and tried different things and came up with this.

She Remains

I didn’t know what to expect that first time I walked in her home. As I walked through her purposefully decorated living room to the kitchen I felt a little uncomfortable. My home was usually in disarray because I was raising small children and my housekeeping skills had not been perfected. So I was a […]

Be Set Free From Your Prison

imagesCAK7FRCF

She paced the floor of the small space of the prison cell. Back and forth, wringing her hands, her heart felt as though it would come right out of her chest. It seemed more like a dream than reality. Would they really set her free today? Lina had been incarcerated for two years on drug […]

He ran up through the backyard as fast as his little legs would carry him. With a small shovel in hand he finally reached Pa’s screened back door. Knocking hard he yelled,” Pa! Pa! Let me in, I have a prize!” The shovel now hid behind his back. Pa opened the door and JJ came […]

A Grown Up Orphan

In sixth grade my class spent a lot of time playing football on the playground. Our teacher supervised and almost insisted we take part. So at the age of twelve I learned to play a mean game of football. One day at school I wasn’t feeling my best, a little puny because I had gotten “my […]

My Life and Times With A Soap Opera

Soap Opera seems to be a dirty word these days. I don’t know too many people who watch them and if they do most don’t talk about it. I will not let this stop me from admitting I love Days of Our Lives. My mother, brother and I spent most days watching a lineup of […]

She had lots of friends who weren’t from my crowd. To look at us you’d never believe we were compatible. She smoked in the school bathroom; I was scared to go in there most the time. Her crowd was the cool, tough bunch while mine was the mediocre athletic, nerdy types. I can’t remember our […]

10 Ways To Respect Your Man

Dad's wedding

Webster’s defines respect as high or special regard, or the state or quality of being esteemed. If we take this definition literally and apply it to how we treat each other, we’d have some pretty awesome relationships going on out there huh? Marriages would last longer, be revived or renewed. Families could quite possibly stay […]

The Night My Husband Got Shot

As I got ready for church I looked in the mirror and thought, “Well you’re lookin’ pretty good ole gal.”  Beautiful? Maybe not, pretty, yeah, I’ll settle for that.

In The Eye Of The Beholder Part 2

I snapped this as we drove down some street in L. A.

                Just a little bit of my view from where I was standing. It blows my mind at how after seeing something as beautiful, vast and amazing as these mountains someone could question if God exist. Really?
