It’s kind of sort of bothering me that I haven’t posted all week. But the other kind of sort of side of me is totally chill with it because other good things have taken up my free time. So for today – I’ll leave you with this. T – my six-year-old going on seven going [...] Read more »
The Pain Comes
Thank you ALL for your outpouring of love yesterday. God uses you to comfort my soul. I’ve questioned why I write all of this. Why I make it public. And perhaps it’s just the writer in me. But I think too it’s because I know that somewhere out there someone else is hurting too. Maybe [...] Read more »
never in a Million years :: a journey I never thought I’d take
I’ve tried to write this post a few times in my head. And I’ve debated even posting it. Do I really want the internets knowing all my business? But then I reminded myself that, you, my readers are my friends. And that writing is like therapy for me. Some people cry buckets of tears. I [...] Read more »

The Boys Memorize the Books of the Old Testament

Children pick things up SO quickly that I feel like now is the prime time to get the Word in them {while memorization comes easily} and that it will {hopefully!} get my children into the habit of memorizing [...] Read more »
Weekend & Giveaway
My husband had a full weekend of classes for school, so I got to go for a short trip to visit my sister, brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews this weekend. Man, was it a much needed ‘get-out-of-the-house’ time for me. It certainly wasn’t a quiet, restful time, as my brother was out of town for [...] Read more »
A Fresh Sense of the Father’s Pleasure
My babies were sick this weekend. Ugh. We’re still pulling through it. Apparently it’s been going around our church. The advantage in that, is I more or less know what to expect because so many others had already gone through it! High fever, aches, some congestion, and it passes quickly. But it’s still no fun [...] Read more »
Time-Out From Moving Stuff
My life has kind of been consumed with things related to us moving in these last few weeks, and I’ve had to put other things aside (such as blogging) to focus on these more urgent matters of packing, and planning, and taping, and praying, and boxing, and watching, and calling, and waiting, and talking, and praying [...] Read more »
