Here is the story (so far) of our sweet little boy: Lewis Alexander Tinklepaugh. A vibrant, passionate, loving, caring, deeply emotional and perceptive little boy. He loves deeply, he cares deeply, he is full of FIRE, and full of life!!! I went into labor with him at 33 weeks- my water spontaneously ruptured (quite […]
My Incredible Husband
I am amazed at my husband and the qualities God has given him. I am incredibly blessed to have him as my man and to be united with him for as long as we may live. His sense of humor never fails to keep us chuckling through the rough times. His dedication as a family […]
Competition
As I am training up for a Half Marathon at the end of January (more specifics to be posted on that later), God has me thinking about the topic of competition. I have always thrived under competition. It has pushed me to do my best. But, the Lord has shown me that everything should be […]
Staying Refreshed and Encouraged in the Lord
I’m borrowing from a sweet friend’s words to me recently. With my sweet, but VERY spirited and determined toddler, who’s throwing tantrums right now literally every few minutes (pretty explosive ones), my little Hannah and her developmental delays and medical stuff going on right now, and my loving husband in the field quite often, I […]
My little Princess
My heart is waiting, waiting this weekend. As I pour over pictures of my little princess, I am waiting for my Father in Heaven to prepare our hearts for what lays ahead next week and to see DELIVERANCE and HEALING. I know He will. It will help me to write about it and DWELL my […]
TRUSTING GOD
The past few days have been incredible. My faith has been tested in SO many ways. I can see why the Lord put “warrior princess” on my mind the past few days–to prepare me for the onslaught of attacks from the Enemy. I felt an attack in almost every area that I hold dearest to […]
Warrior Princess
A Crushed Spirit Vs. an Uplifted Spirit: This is one of my favorite topics to dwell on and write about. THIS is the Enemy’s greatest way to defeat us. If He cannot get us to sin in action or words, he then tries to defeat us in thought. Proverbs 18:4 says “A man’s spirit […]
Amazing Sermon Series-Video and Audio
If you are unable to listen to sermons at church (or even go to church), or just desire to be fed more throughout the week, this is an amazing church in Washington State, that has quite a few sermons online. They have a great series on marriage and many other topics of interest, as well […]
Incredible Growth in this Little One
I cannot believe how much our sweet Lewis has grown the past week. All the way up to about a week ago, I have felt like every few minutes (sometimes seconds), I have had to discipline/coach/teach/address Lewis because of something he was saying or doing that I knew was not pleasing to the Lord (or […]
God’s Promises and Blessings
You would not believe the amount of rainbows we’ve had in the desert lately! So many storms and so many rainbows…it seems nearly everywhere we turn, there is a rainbow. I think rainbows are amazing. They remind me that God sends us His PROMISES during times of storm in our lives. God lets it rain […]
