I read a book called the Excellent wife when Brian and I first were engaged. I wanted so much to be a good wife to him. But, I feared, I had MUCH to learn! I read so many books about being a good wife…but, I still had so much trouble with it. Finally, I decided […]
2nd Week of Advent
I’m writing this one a little late 🙂 It was tough for me to stay focused on Advent this week. After all that purification and cleansing, I got distracted. I’m not sure how. But, the Lord re-focused me on Him yesterday and His plan for Advent for our family. We continued into this week the […]
God’s sovereignty
All are asleep during naptime and I have a chance to reflect upon today. Hannah’s surgery went GREAT!!! Thank-you for your prayers! God provided in so many ways and we had a TOTAL peace. We are so thankful! We know this peace comes from Him. As I had a chance to think back over the […]
Trusting God: Hannah’s story
“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because He trusts in You.” -Isaiah 26:3 I love this verse! So much has happened over the past year. Really, the past 2 years. Let me tell you the story…. It all started with my pregnancy with Hannah. I learned for the first time […]
1 Year Anniversary: The Battle
This past Thanksgiving was our one year anniversary of being in the desert here in California. I reflected that morning about God’s purpose for me and our family here in the desert over the past year. It has truly been a time of testing and refinement. It has been a time where the Enemy […]
FIRM Boundaries
My son is totally pushing me way outside my comfort zone right now. He is 3 and needing VERY firm boundaries (and very little options!). I like consistent and firm boundaries and strict discipline…but also loving and gentle and joyful parenting. However, my little tyke likes to push the boundaries EVERY day. He tests me all […]
My greatest Calling :-)
Recently, I wrote about God giving me a glimpse of His calling for me, as part of the body of believers. As I reflected, and throughout the next few days after I wrote the post, God reminded me once again of my greatest calling. My greatest calling is to be a worker at home (Titus […]
What it really means to be a Strong Woman
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:38-39 Yesterday, I had a […]
Public Confession
I found this on the refrigerator of my husband’s barracks room in Korea…we had to stay there for two weeks before we moved into a house and it was very helpful to get me through that time of transition. May it be a blessing unto you and your family too. It was a little piece […]
My Calling :-)
The Lord has REALLY been putting the subject of His Calling on my heart the past few months. I really think He’s brought our family to the desert to reveal His calling to us–each individually, and together as a family…and to prepare our hearts for it. He may not reveal the whole big picture to […]
