'Thriving' ©2017 Tabitha MeglichThis morning was a 3-snooze morning; the kind of morning when I wake up dreading the day before it even starts, pull the covers over my head and try to escape into just one more dream. There was no real reason. Some mornings I just wish my life were, well… more. I… Continue reading Thriving in the Ordinary

Shabby Chic God
One of my favorite me-time activities is sipping tea while mulling over home decorating books (or more recently Pinterest). None hold my interest quite like those written by interior designers that are half artist, half junk-hound. The last decade has seen an absolute explosion of the DIY repurposing of the most unlikely objects into unique… Continue reading Shabby Chic God
Everyday Emancipation
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. Leviticus 26:13 Yesterday was Easter Sunday. We enjoyed a splendid dinner with our two youngest daughters and three guests. The… Continue reading Everyday Emancipation
Raising the Standard
I’m a slight history buff —something I only realized when I began teaching the subject in our little home-school classroom. After years of teaching science (preceded by years of studying math and science) delving into the humanities was a welcome breath of fresh air. Reading tales set in distant times and cultures held me as… Continue reading Raising the Standard
Aching to Praise
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:3 I woke up suffering this morning. I could blame Applebee’s; but on the other hand, no one twisted my elbow. They didn't need to. The words slipped out of my… Continue reading Aching to Praise
Learning to Sing
He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:3 I am passionate for all things ‘bird’. My book shelves include three different field-guides, several bird-themed Dover coloring books, and a number of journals sporting bird covers. At… Continue reading Learning to Sing
Clean Eating
Last August, as part of an ongoing effort to more faithfully steward our health, our family embarked on a month of ‘clean eating’. My husband, two young-adult daughters and I shared 30 days free of dairy, gluten, legumes, sugar and food additives; while feasting on a veritable cornucopia of veggies, fruit and lean meats. Vitamin… Continue reading Clean Eating
Stark Naked & Terrified
My first impulse was to title this post “Naked and Afraid”. However it seems a certain reality TV show already pirated that phrase (Genesis 3:10). Not knowing the ramifications of pirating a pirate, I opted for modifying my original title. Now for my story... You know that dream where you’re on stage in front… Continue reading Stark Naked & Terrified
Perfect Peace
PEACE – This little word makes a conspicuous appearance each year as we approach the Christmas season. In a world plagued by turmoil and unrest, peace is something we all long for. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 PERFECT PEACE… Continue reading Perfect Peace
Wet Noodle
“It left me like a wet noodle.” Those are the words my younger sister used to describe the end result of giving in to past fear. She was encouraging me; exhorting me to rise up and defeat the anxiety that has held me captive for the past few weeks. Never mind the cause of it.… Continue reading Wet Noodle
