This morning as I awoken, I realized I had the day alone to take care of different tasks. I wake up each day reminding myself of Immanuel, God with us. And each day I know He is. But, it is so wonderful to be reminded in tangible ways throughout my day that the Lord truly […]
Joy
My beloved readers, I want to give you the reason for joy today, inexpressible joy that is available to you and me every day, but is also the theme of this week in Advent. Jesus. His person, His sacrifice is the reason. Not our circumstance, not our feelings, but History…what He did for you and […]
Being Poor.
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. […]
Enough is Enough.
This title popped into my head today as I contemplated what I would write on my day off. I think, even as I listen to Christian radio and study my bible and press into Jesus…it remains evident to me that the sad sickness of humanity is being stuck on ourselves. And we cannot save ourselves […]
BLESSED, THANKFUL
This Thanksgiving I was so deeply grateful to spend time with my brother and his precious family. We don’t always get as much time as we would like with each other, but have continued to connect when we are able with our super busy lives! I love the times we can connect, remember sweet times, […]
Dream Come True
All I can say is that this was a dream come true!!! I have been wanting to run this marathon since I was 13 🙂 I have run several half marathons, but wasn’t quite certain I would be able to make it 26.2 miles…and then I tried and was pleasantly surprised. I am thankful to […]
Hannah’s 7!!
Wow, I never thought I could even imagine this little girl growing up. She always seemed to be that she would stay my little “apple blossom” forever. However, at 7 she is: INDEPENDENT, yet still needing my love, comfort, companionship, support, and guidance. BEAUTIFUL…breathtakingly beautiful. PEACEMAKER, always desiring unity and usually being the first to […]
9 YEARS OLD!!!
Last Thursday, on the 26th of October, My little boy turned 9 YEARS OLD!!! We celebrated last week with gluten-free yummy cupcakes for his class from Small Cakes bakery right down the road, and a night out at yotopia with a cup of many different flavors of frozen yogurt, where Lewis wrote a huge birthday […]
Abiding Faith
This is a season where God is growing me deeper in my faith. I love that despite the plans of the evil in the world, nothing can stop the Lord Almighty. I love God’s WORD!! I love that when someone smiles at me pretending to be friendly, all the while plotting evil in his heart, […]
Stuck
I’ve never been in a place like this before….I’ve never had so much responsibility on my shoulders day in and day out, with life generally being quite hard, and has been hard for quite some time, with the future only getting harder. In my mind, I imagine so many different possibilities, jobs I can have […]
