6 beautiful years….

Psalm 18:2: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Yesterday, Brian and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary 🙂  Tonight, we had a night to celebrate together (without the munchkins)…and […]

The Love of a Father

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. (John 13:34)” In order to love others fully, we must know how deeply and everlasting our Father loves us.  There are so many aspects of His love…and when I dwell on all the ways He has […]

Weeping Woman

I have really identified with the weeping woman a lot here in the desert (Luke 7:36-50).  I find myself coming before the Lord in tears nearly everytime I come before Him.  I cannot stop the tears.  I find myself often at an impass.  He is calling me to accept my circumstances and CHANGE.  He is […]

Listening to God

“Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things…” (Isaiah 40:26) “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” (Isaiah 26:3) “They said to Moses, ‘You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest […]

The blessings of waiting…

In the words of the song I listened to this morning at our church, “Stength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.”  That is exactly where I am right now…in the waiting season for several things I hold dear to my heart.  Many times, I have no strength and no will to wait.  I have natural […]

A Hero Party :-)

The past week has been rough….Daddy has been gone a LOT (this has been the toughest rotation yet)…both kids and I have been sick with tough colds all week….the wind has kicked up each day to blow everything away….and Hannah has been teething and screaming all the time 😦  It seems like we keep getting to this point […]

God’s grace to women

I love the place of honor God has given women…it is no wonder that the Enemy himself seeks to destroy women–as wives, mothers, etc.  His attack is intense….but it has no power over us…  I love the place of honor the Lord has given me in my husband’s heart–a place where I am loved, served, […]

Intimacy with Jesus

I long to have more intimacy with Jesus.  I long to know Him more….to love Him more….to spend more time with Him.  I know that more intimacy will heal all the areas of my life that need healing–all my broken-heartedness, and will satisfy every part of me–all my neediness, all my longing for attention, compassion, […]

“Lewis Daddy” Box

Why my son calls his daddy, “Lewis daddy” to me…I will never understand 🙂  They have such a special relationship.  Lewis’ world is just crushed when daddy is not around.  My world is too.  This 2 week rotation into the field is a lot tougher than the usual rotations each month, so we are all […]
