I am in Lincoln, NE this week where I lived for 25 years and where my daughter and son-in-law and their 8 children live now and also where my 90-year-old mom decided to settle for her final years. So, even though I moved from Lincoln to South Florida 4 years ago, I find myself back [...]
Author: Lincoln Nana
I am an average woman who loves the life I have been blessed to live. From Africa to Asia and back to America, my life has been touched by many people and experiences that have helped me embrace each season of life whether it be challenging or a cup of coffee. I believe it is only possible to do that because of the grace and peace of God. His love never fails and it never, ever gives up!
Fulfillment in this Season
In this season one of the most rewarding experiences I have had is the one of becoming NANA! Below are ten of my rewards. I remember when Judah was born 14 years ago. He was our first. I had no idea how exciting it would be to have a grandchild. He could do no wrong!! [...]
This Side of the Unknown
I have been through complete knee replacement surgery and have survived to tell the story!! 🙂 In my last post I described how nervous I was and the fear of the unknown was so very real. But...and I shouldn't be surprised......instead of fear, the last two months have been ones filled with encouraging words from [...]
Entering the Unknown Once Again
Once again I am facing something I have never faced before. After dealing with a deteriorating knee joint for a while I have finally come to the conclusion it is not going to get any better and so I have agreed to have a full knee replacement. I am nervous. I am a little scared. [...]
Sunset Season
This month I turn 65. Wow. I remember when my parents were 65 and now it's my turn. Did I ever think about these years when I was 25 or even 45? I don't know about you but, I didn't. Maybe I didn't really believe I was going to live to see 65 or maybe [...]
Beginning to embrace change.
I am sitting in my friend's living room in Singapore enjoying a cup of tea and thinking about the amazing places I have gone to this year. My neighbor in Florida calls me her "vagabond" neighbor because I am always coming from somewhere or going somewhere. Even though traveling has always been a part of [...]
Getting Back on Track
Purpose is a powerful thing in our lives. I guess you just don't realize you need it until you begin to find it again. I believe there are seasons when we are in the process of shifting purpose and those seasons are when we feel like we are floating from one thing to another and [...]
No Rear View Mirror Gazing for Me
Do you ever find yourself arguing with God? I believe God is always speaking to us but most of the time we just don't want to listen. He speaks to me in my thoughts. We have long conversations and I'm not sure I'm even aware we are having them. But I argue with Him. He [...]
Navigating the Seasons
In the past year I have had to "practice what I blog" so to speak. When I started this blogging thing I knew the subject should revolve around the seasons of life and how important it is to embrace them instead of run from them. In other words, it is important to look at the [...]
Are you ever really ready?
My brother is walking a walk of complete faith in his God!
