Romans 12:12: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.” As I was reading a book to Lewis the other night…I call it our “lighthouse book”…in it was this verse…it had a profound meaning to me in that moment. If our circumstances lead us, often we’ll be tossed on the waves of […]
The God of Comfort and Compassion
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2nd Corinthians 1:3-4 I think it is so neat that God would […]
My Knight in White Shining Armor…or a Dunce Cap! :-)
No, the duck is not my knight!!!! But, it was pretty funny that it popped up as the first picture 🙂 Ok, I’ve never done this so openly before, but I really have to brag a bit about my husband here!!! I am completely in awe of this sweet gift of a husband to me. […]
Little Hannah Cottontail :-)
Our “Pretty Kitty” Update: “Little Hannah Cottontail, hoppin’ down the bunny trail, hippety hoppety, Easter’s on its way…” This is what daddy sings along with the singing toothbrush she got as a gift 🙂 This is how we will remember her–her sweet face, cute little dimples, amazing smile, sweet cuddles, her deep love for buddy, […]
Flying High!
We are on the 7 week countdown until Emma gets here, and today I was resting and reflecting on my littles and amazed at how God has grown them, even in the past few weeks, and how He has prepared them to welcome their newest little addition soon. Here’s a little update on my little […]
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 […]
True Joy.
If we cannot suffer with joy, then there is no glory given to God. His purpose in our suffering is to bring about perseverance and His righteous character in ourselves, and to bring glory to Him through our obedience, trust, faith, and JOY in suffering. But, if there is no joy, there is only pity, […]
Birthday and Mother’s Day wishes :-)
Yesterday was Mother’s Day and my birthday 🙂 What a beautiful weekend it was! I had such unusual energy and cleaned my home (not on my birthday though!), went through Hannah’s clothes and set up Emma’s room, and said goodbye to almost all of Lew’s clothes. We gave much away in a post wide yard […]
Sweet Deliverance…
It feels amazing to be delivered…when fear and anxiety come, to turn to sweet sisters in Christ and to have them pray and to feel the immediate deliverance. The past week has been so precious to me. To learn to rest in PEACE. To not feel any guilt. To know I am acting in obedience […]
