thoughtful ramblings

Maybe you can relate to being far from God, maybe you aren't that far off at all, but you feel like you are.  You are never too far gone for God, your sins are never bigger than God's love, and ALL of Heaven rejoices when one sinner turns to Him.  Just think that one little moment of humbling yourself and turning back to God can literally change the entire trajectory of your life.  

I used to be afraid to approach the Lord, I felt that all my sins and imperfections were all that God would see.  I felt that, why would someone so perfect and Holy want me?  I felt that I would never be good enough.  Good news, I don't have to be good enough, because Jesus is good enough, and ALL my faith is in Him.

I hope you enjoy this episode, I hope you get something out of it, and above all... I hope you get to know the forgiving, beautiful, perfect love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Eric and I have a tendency to go on many different, hysterically enjoyable rabbit holes, even more so in this episode, LOL.  Our time with the Lord is everything both individually and together.  Our friendship is the most precious thing God has blessed me with, and I think that's why it works so well.  We laugh, we communicate, and at the center, we love Jesus!  I honestly think that's the whole reason it has worked and continues to.  God pours out His grace on us daily, and He begins to enable you through His Spirit to pour that out on our partners as well as ourselves.  

P.S. If I haven't said it before, thank you for having Grace with me as I navigate this whole working full-time and hosting a podcast lifestyle.

Well... We just got the official word that Eric got a new job.   When you live where your husband is employed, things can get a little wackier than normal.  A very hard, sad ending to an awesome season... It's going to be pretty tough to top that, but I have a feeling, God just might.

Hey y'all, in this episode of thoughtful ramblings, we see the flip side of my daughter Sam's story, her mom's heart.

Road tripping was such a cool way to say goodbye and start something new, something scary, something awesome.

God loves when we live with big Faith, and man...that's what this kid's got.  Big moves of God, require us to move big, and move with even bigger faith.  

Enjoy my thoughtful ramblings, love, Michelle

In this episode we catch up with my daughter, she got accepted to the school she was hoping for.  She is preparing to move to another state, and start a whole new thing, while hanging on the hem of His garment.  I love her faith, her excitement, and the awesome move of God in her life

Hey guys,

I just wanted to drop a quick thank you in this episode and let you knowhow excited I am for Season 2.  I believe this year of jubilee is about to get kicked into over drive.  

I love you all so much and thank you to those who have supported me with such amazing encouragement, you all know who you are, the others know who they are too, lol. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, and I hope you enjoy Season 2, twice as much.

Love, Michelle

So I posed a question on my personal Facebook page asking people why or why they did not go to church, and it was awesome.  Me and Sam discuss the responses and don't hold anything back.  Personally, I am so sick of people not being them true selves, from politics, to what I see on social media, and yes, even the church.

Any ways, Sam and I have a great talk, and a great episode is on the way.

Thanks a lot for listening, to my Thoughtful Ramblings,

Love, Michelle

The funny thing about my dad, is almost everything.  No, but seriously folks, he is pretty great, and I'm super thankful I had a man like that in my life growing up.  I know it's not Father's Day or anything, but... this guy aint no ordinary father.  

I think laughing has become one of the things I treasure doing most on this Earth.  Maybe that's one of the reasons I love my dad so much.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy the antics of Bill Sullivan, aka: Uncle Bill, Papa, and Dad.  

Thank you so much for listening, and hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings.

Love, Michelle

I sit down with and talk with Brittany Horridge  in this episode.  

Brittany is so mature in the things of God, she is so sweet, and absolutely exemplifies what a Christian should reflect.  But what I love most about her, she is the real deal!! Funny, silly, adorable and a spiritual powerhouse,  Even though she is much younger than me, I look up to her,  I can't get over how mature she is in the things of God.  It is so refreshing talking to a young girl with such wisdom and light, who wants nothing more than to share the love of Jesus.

If there is anything you would ever want for your children, it's to have someone to go through this crazy life alongside.  Brittany has been a fixture in our homes and a permanent staple in our hearts since the minute we met this young lady.  I am so thankful, my daughter has had such a friend as this to do life with, especially when life isn' always wonderful. 

I hope you enjoy this episode, meeting my little Brittany, and I hope you take something away from this that ends up staying with you for all eternity, the Love of God. 

Enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings,

Love, Michelle

My daughter Sam.  There are so many cool people in this world, and to think God let me raise two of my favorites.  In this episode, I sit down with, Sam and we talk about all sorts of things (Hey, just like the song).  Sam is funny, sweet, talented, and driven, maybe she gets that from her father?  Anyways... She is such a light in this world, and in my humble opinion, that is the most precious asset you could ever possess.  

Hope you enjoy my, Thoughtful Ramblings.

Love, Michelle

 I thank God so much for this man, there isn't anybody that knows this much about me and is still around, other than Jesus.

My husband Eric and I are about to celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary.  I am so thankful for the life we have gotter=n to build together.  On today's show, we talk about some of our best and worst times, moments that have shaped and defined our trajectories in life.  There is nobody else I would rather do this life with, nobody else I'd rather worship the Lord next to, nobody else in this world I love as much as my husband, Eric.  

I hope you enjoy meeting Eric, and my Thoughtful Ramblings

Love, Michelle

God knows what he is doing!! Pastor Ed, is one of the funniest, kindest, most giving, energetic, crazy pastors I know, but besides that he is a friend.  When ed came over to record, we just sat, I didn't even look for my notes, we just talked and didn't stop  until we were getting the "cut" signals from Sam.  Good stuff, funny, insightful, he's wicked smart I tell ya.  Anyways, if you like the first one, you will probably like this one too. 

Anywho,  I hope you enjoy  my Thoughtful Ramblings.

Love, Michelle

In this episode, we had so much fun laughing and telling stories we had no idea how much time had gone by.  Ed is such a great friend, and so much fun to sit and talk with.  Yes, it is true I have been born with the gift of gab, but so has, Ed and let me tell ya, he says some funny freakin things. 

I love this life mostly because of the people I have gotten to meet and along the way.  I can't thank Ed enough for being on the show, yeah we got some great material, but it was so nice seeing him, one of those people who is good for the soul, ya know.

A mentor, pastor and friend  to my kids, a friend and pastor to me and my husband, Ed Pichette, you  are the real deal!

Hope you all enjoy listening to my Thoughtful Ramblings,

Love, Michelle

.  I talk a lot about my family in this podcast, so it only seems fitting that you get to meet them all.  In this episode you get to meet a giant piece of my heart, my son Eric.  It's so cool to have our relationship shift in such a way, that he doesn't need me to guide his every move, pick up after him, and praise God not buy his groceries anymore (That kid can eat).

I never understood how good God could be to me through these kids, our relationships and the amazing moments Ive had the privilege of walking with them through.  How blessed am I?  Wicked blessed!!  Praise God!!

This episode is the first one I intend on listening to, I sure hope he doesn't embarrass me, lol.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings

Love, Michelle

Hey all,

This episode the Rogers family begins to move forward again.  The church we ended up at, was like a hospital for our broken hearted family.  I was so afraid to open myself up to people again, people suck sometimes.  But, I knew we had to, and we got the awesome privilege of doing it together.

Side note, 

If you have any questions, or need advice or whatever, prayer perhaps?  You can hit up my website mrsrogers.net

Still a work in progress, but I am moving in the right direction. 

Thanks for listening to my Thoughtful Ramblings,

Michelle

Hey Guys, 

So in this episode, I touch on some tough times.  We were hurt by people we loved, and people that should've (in my humble opinion "known better")  I struggled writing this and speaking on this topic, because I didn't want to stir up any hard feelings regarding the matter, but ya know what??  It Is MY TRUTH, and I believe the Lord wants to use it.  

Anyways, forgiveness is so powerful and so healing as me and my husband are finally free from all the hurt, maybe that's the real message?  Well, whatever it is, my story, His glory.  

Hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings,

Love, Michelle

Of course we all have our "I am thankful for" lists.  Most of our lists are comprised of the same sterile nouns, family, friends, job, house, etc... But, (and it's a big but, lol) as the years trample on by, and as I reflect on my life, it really is all about giving.  Sure, birthday and Holiday gifts are a great example, watching the people you love open something you you bought to hopefully bless them with.  Honestly, as a mom, that is one of my favorite things even now, with my grown kids.  

But what if you were able to give someone tomorrow, maybe even the next few years???  It is humbling, amazing, and what I felt I was called to do, and I can't imagine being more blessed by it.   Thank you Lord, for putting this on my heart.  Thank you, God, for making this part of my story, thank you Jesus for the amazing gift of being able to hear your voice and the boldness to move in whatever you ask.

We were on a path to a new life, we just didn't realize how many different directions we would be getting pulled in.  Dont get me wrong, serving is awesome, as long as you STAY IN YOUR LANE.  God doesn't want people to get burnt out doing His work, as a matter of fact, His work should be feeidng your should and edifying to your bones.  Sometimes it just takes people a minute to figure it all out.  It took me and my family about eight years to figure it out.

Me and my friend Gloria were tight, but when I met the Lord everything changed and changed quickly.  One change that I don't know if I'll ever truly get over is the loss of my friend, a big beautiful piece of my heart. 

Sometimes we have to make decisions, we have to decide where to focus our time our energy, our everything.  When I became a Christian my life shifted, it went from self and friends as my main focus to God and family, unfortunately my best friend at the time got very very hurt by that.  

I don't regret the decision I made at that time, my faith and my family are everything to me, I just wish she could be in my life to enjoy it all.  I hope you enjoy my thoughtful ramblings.

Love, Michelle

God gives everyone gifts, some can sing or play music.  Some people have a gifting of leadership or the ability to organize or take care of kids, whatever it looks like, everyone has something.   Sometimes you don't know what your gifts are right away and you have to dig a little bit, other times your gifts, bubble right to the surface without having to try to find them at all.

I was given the beautiful gift, a gift of dreams, and visions.  

Anyways, I hope you enjoy listening to a few impactful moments some of which changed my life forever, amen!
