“Christ has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless […]
Fun with Grandma and Grandpa!!!!
What a sweet, fun time we had with Grandpa and Grandma!!! Here are some pictures of our adventures together 🙂
NEW GROWTH!!!
I can see that some of my posts have gotten to be a bit downtrodden….and there is a lot of work God is doing in my heart right now…so it is hard work. BUT, I want to capture all the blessings and AMAZING GRACE God has given us in our lives and right now. That […]
Failure…
Much of what is happening in my life right now is meeting with much failure. I’m thankful for the perseverance God has given me to press on. My focus is on having joy in obedience. My delight is in His law. My thanks is in my sweet family right now who all really fill me […]
The Dance of Life :-)
As my husband and I were dancing at a ball a few weeks ago…all dressed up in uniform and dress 🙂 …I kept thinking about which way Brian would go next…and hoping to not go the wrong way. Ok, I’ll admit, it is hard for me to follow his lead. I love to dance and […]
My Life is Not My Own
These words were all throughout the songs we sang to worship the Lord this morning at PWOC. Each song talked about self-abandonment. The sermon my husband and I heard last Sunday at our church talked about self-abandonment being the principle of parenting (and the hardest part). It helped reaffirm and refocus my husband and I in […]

Changes…
A tree in wintertime…that has lost its foilage…seems all but dead. Just like that tree, during winter seasons, it seems that bearing fruit and being a light to anyone is impossible. There is so much that is dying inside of me right now. So much I hold onto so dearly…so much pride, so much sin, so […]
God’s grace to me today…
The past few days I have not been feeling well, and this morning I woke up with a sore throat, aching body, and terrible headache. It felt like the flu or step throat. I was bedridden much of the day. It seems I had gotten my monthly sickness, along with the kids this month. But, […]
Do You Walk in White?
“We were buried with Him…that just as Christ was raised from the dead…even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4) No one experiences complete sanctification without going through a “white funeral” –the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crucial moment of change through death, sanctification will […]
