Surrender…this used to be such a painful word, a painful reminder that I felt when God whispered to me this word..I would realize that I am holding on too tight…fear that I would not be able to obey…to actually surrender….but now, in the eve before my final mediation with my husband in the brink of […]
Release.
This sweet, sweet word….release….echoes in my soul today….it is such a hard, but beautiful word. I love being a part of something big. I love working hard, doing, praying, contributing, working towards something…to make it strong, to make it successful, to make it run deep, to feel as if I am a part of something […]
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 […]
Peace. Happy New Year 2017!!!
This word means so many things to me right now. In the past, many times I thought of peace as a river, or an ocean, or being in the mountain tops all alone…where no stress, trouble, trials come….a place of perfect quietness. Because of the nature of my life right now, peace means so much […]
One Semester Down!!
How relieved I am to have one semester down towards my master’s degree in teaching. As I worked through many hurdles quite unexpectedly in the summer, and then all the due dates throughout this semester, and another great personal trial in which I was suddenly thrown into….I just feel deeply grateful for the perseverance and […]
One Miracle, Two Miracles, Three Miracles, More. A Christmas Prayer 2016.
I am praying for something often right now. I want to log it here…for my reference, for your viewing…I want to remember what I prayed and how God answers. Gifts and presents are sweet and kind. Love, laughter, and “Merry Christmases” touch the heart for a day, maybe a week. But, what is lasting? What […]
What is the Spirit of Christmas?
WORSHIP. I am so deeply grateful for this moment to write about something so meaningful to me right now. This Christmas seems harder than any before. But, somehow, I sense God moving me into a deeper understanding of who He is. Somehow, this Christmas, the Spirit of Christmas is ringing truer and deeper in my […]
Degree
This word has sometimes beckoned me and sometimes cautioned me. Sometimes, too many degrees can lead us to lean more on our own understanding rather than turn to Scripture or to hear God’s voice…for many years I have felt satisfied with getting my undergraduate and then starting our family…feeling content with the thrills and challenges […]
Emma’s 9 months!
Every day’s a holiday with Emma. She reminds us so much of Lewis when he was a baby…his twinkly eyes, his joy…his laughter…his chub…his scrumptiousness 🙂 We adore her. She’s got her sister’s deep beautiful blues…that draw us in. She’s a peaceful little baby. She’s changing into an older baby now…just the other day, I […]

Yikes, computer problems have kept me from writing and publishing in the moments when I have had time…but persistence always wins, doesn’t it?! THIS YEAR I feel CALLED and FREE to RUUUNNN!!! Yeah! I love to run and am excited to embark […]
