Our PWOC Spring Retreat!!!….something I had been looking forward to for quite some time… It was a precious time with my sweet sisters in Christ here…And a sweet get-away weekend with Emma 🙂  Right before this trip, Emma peaked in “separation anxiety” anytime I stepped out of her eyesight, so this turned out to be […]
Legacy….and LIFE
As I talked with my sweet grandma today (on my birthday 🙂 ), we thought about legacy together.  Today is my last day of being prayer coordinator for PWOC here…I thought about prayer and how God has given me a love for it…from when I was very little.  My mom gave me a little precious […]
Laying down my life…
LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE…These words were given to me to encourage me, that I may find JOY in laying my life down for my sweet family.  Emma is feeling much better today and is jumping with joy in her jumperoo!! 🙂
I SHALL NOT WANT
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will […]
He is Risen Indeed.
THIS Easter, I think I feel a NEW depth of what Christ has done for me, in His incredible act of love on the cross. The weather has been beautiful these past few weeks…really gorgeous weather…there is new life springing up all around us…such beautiful flowers…beautiful blossoms.  I am asking Him for NEW LIFE through Him […]
~Sweet Surrender~
This word has meant different things to me at different points in my life….right now, it means simply letting go.  So much of me wants to hold on…hold onto routines, hold on to details, hold on to vision, hold on to things….I guess that is the “input” part of me…but I am seeking to let […]
It’s HARVEST Time!
Overflow of Harvest… Brian, Emma, and I had the stomach bug pretty bad last week…Brian and I worked together as a team to serve and pour out to our kids, but we both felt sick and weary.  Lewis and Hannah, you see, were not sick!  ….I have come to accept a few unchanging factors about […]
A stilled and quieted soul…
I love the picture this verse in Psalms (quite possibly my favorite book in the Bible!!) displays….this verse is so meaningful to me as a mommy of a baby.  This is a picture of TRUST…of a soul that is not anxious or upset, not chattering before the Lord…but is STILL and QUIET in His arms. […]
Beloved Family.
I am writing this in the eve after our sweet visitors have left…pondering this weekend and all that it has meant to me…really, it has meant so much.  We were weary from our long days before our visitors’ arrival and are feeling refreshed, renewed, and well-loved as they depart.  This weekend was an incredible gift…in […]
HE IS MY GREAT REWARD.
“After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” -Genesis 15:1 I love this verse.  Of all the things that life can bring us that is good…HE IS THE REWARD I am seeking.  I want Him.
