Marathon Days.
There really is no other way to put it. My days feel like I am running a marathon…with my sweet little bed welcoming me at night. Things I am thankful for: I LOVE my Emma. Her two-toothed grin and sparkling blue eyes light up with joy. Her giggles bring unending joy. She brings peace to […]

Inwardly, he is fighting this step. I am struggling to understand what he is going through. He is longing for more independence…but there […]
Resiliency
He speaks of resiliency to us, during this season of sickness for me and long hours of studying and classes for Brian. So much teaching, so much counsel to our hearts. “Rely on my strength. Be perseverant. Know without a doubt that joy is coming. Seek those natural boundaries; be self aware to know what […]
