Wanda's Wacky Wonderful World

Do you feel overwhelmed?  Are you drowning in bad habits, health issues, or calendar chaos - and have no idea where to go for help? Every person has a life assignment; a special purpose no one else can accomplish.  Would you like to know what that purpose is? It’s not complicated or mysterious. It’s simple…  Your #1 purpose for your life is to be the caretaker of God's masterpiece - “You”.  This job is yours alone. No one else knows when you are tired, thirsty, or hungry; stressed, worried, or vulnerable. You control the level of chaos you tolerate, and you determine the quality of your life and relationships.  Unfortunately, many of us ignore the signals sent by our body; and tend to push through in high gear; but eventually, burnout hits in the form of a health crisis or a mental break.  Are you showing signs of burnout? Psychology Today says  symptoms may include: Chronic fatigue and insomnia Lack of motivation Frustration, cynicism, and...

Galatians 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:   Eve… a perfect creature… woke up in Paradise.  The man standing beside her was stunningly handsome, and she could tell by the look in his eye that he was hopelessly in love with her. Her future looked incredible! Adam gave her the grand tour. The aroma of a thousand flowers made her dizzy. The newborn lion cub nuzzled his nose into her neck. They ran through waterfalls, exploring Eden, as deer and blue jays kept them company. Eventually, Eve noticed a strange sensation. The low growling had become a rumble, and she nervously questioned Adam. He kindly explained her first hunger pang and then led her into the orchard. Every flower and fruit was edible! Peach juice dripped off her chin, berry juice stained her lips, and Adam roared with laughter as Eve took her first bite of lemon! She loved the papayas, but the tomatoes were her favori...

I still have a copy of my son Cortt’s deployment orders for Iraq in my old Bible. One glance at that tearstained paper reminds me:   1- God doesn’t always say “Yes”. 2- I have trust issues.     I had faith God was going to delete those orders. I believed He was going to keep my son at home! I was sure of this. I vocalized it! I thanked God daily for it!   When Cortt and his unit shipped out to Afghanistan - my faith wavered slightly - but I was convinced God would not allow him to be sent into the Iraqi war zone!   So, when that dreaded day came - and he called to tell us - “I’m headed into Iraq. I don’t know when I’ll be able to communicate again - I’ll call as soon as I can.” I was done.   My faith failed.   For days on end - I could not - (or would not) pray. I was desperately worried and afraid - but, let me be honest… I was also angry. Why should I talk to God now? He had obviously ignored the past four months of my prayers and fasting. I had f...

Be Brave My heart was pounding in my ears. As my surgeon carefully explained the biopsy and breast cancer diagnosis I was facing;  my mind was exploding with questions - but my mouth could not form words. The options were petrifying; but  the treatment frightened me more than the disease!   Should I have a mastectomy? Would radiation be enough?   Fear of the unknown threatened to swallow me. Decisions only I could make - had to be made. And so; another surgery was scheduled - followed by 33 radiation treatments. Would you like to know the best decision I made that day? I made up my mind, that  cancer would not win! I chose to defeat fear with knowledge.   I set out to learn everything I could about cancer.   How did I get cancer?   Was surgery and radiation the best treatment?   Was I at risk for other cancers?   Were there treatment options besides surgery, radiation and chemotherapy?   What about Holistic and Alternative Medicine?...

Everybody needs a hero!  My family and I are blessed to live in a community rich in hero heritage! We should never forget to thank these incredible men and women for their service.  But what about us?  Wouldn’t YOU like to save the day for once? We can!  Even if we are not in the military, a public servant or a first responder; we can all be of service to our family and community. Without signing a contract or a legal agreement; you can make a difference today.  S - SAY THANK YOU       If someone holds the door for you - smile, and say, “Thank You”. E - ENCOURAGE Throughout your day, when you see someone making an effort; smile and tell them they are doing a great job.  R - RESPECT If you see a funeral procession or an emergency vehicle on the highway;  carefully pull over and show respect to the situation, saying a prayer for all  involved, while you wait.   V - VALIDATE Giv...
