I realize as I write this that there are so many scales of wealth to the poorest of poor and to the wealthiest of people. I truly believe God will hold each one of us accountable for how we spend our money and that how we spend it reveals so much about ourselves. […]

What does whole look like?
This is a very serious post, not just a reflection, but a cry for God to work miracles. A call to brothers and sisters in Christ to reflect with me and respond. I am going to be more transparent about what I have recently written about…I sense that this is the time and place. So […]
Little Nuggets of Joy :-)
This past weekend, we went to Great Wolf Lodge and had a nice respite together at the water park there. I went in faith. Faith that the littles would do well in the hotel, faith that my body could handle the trip, faith that my mind would be strong to weather the hiccups that are […]
New life
With Brian in the field…but our time apart coming to a close…I am convicted of so much that needs to change in my parenting, in my marriage, in my life. I am praying for new life. I want SO much for the old ways to pass…and the new to be resurrected in my life. God […]
His Voice Lifts up my Head
“I am already being poured out as a drink offering….” (2 Timothy 4:6) “Are you ready to be poured out as an offering? It is an act of your will, not your emotions. Tell God you are ready to be offered as a sacrifice for Him. Then accept the consequences as they come, without any […]

My husband’s Christ-like characteristics are such a testimony to […]
Guilt
This topic was on my mind today. I was thinking of how God inspires me…but doesn’t make me feel condemned. The Holy Spirit convicts me of my sin…and I am left feeling sad…and then He shows me His forgiveness, comforts me, and equips me with the TRUTH and ways to change (repent). Repentance involves sorrow […]
LONGING
“A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul.” -Proverbs 13:19 There are many longings that are running deep in my soul right now. I am waiting, waiting upon the Lord. May He make me faithful to Him, so in my waiting, I can look back once He fulfills my longings in the way He sees […]
Staying Refreshed and Encouraged in the Lord
I’m borrowing from a sweet friend’s words to me recently. With my sweet, but VERY spirited and determined toddler, who’s throwing tantrums right now literally every few minutes (pretty explosive ones), my little Hannah and her developmental delays and medical stuff going on right now, and my loving husband in the field quite often, I […]
