“…Let me say something about the word: miracle. For too long it’s been used to characterize things or events that, though pleasant, are entirely normal. Peeping chicks at Easter time, spring generally, a clear sunrise after an overcast week – a miracle, people say, as if they’ve been educated from greeting cards. I’m […]
This past weekend I got to enjoy a couple of days of leisurely fun with my Grandma Barb. Who, of course, is my kids’ great grandma! Wow. We went to the petting zoo on one of the first nice days, chatted through lunch time and nap time, had lunch another day at our new apartment, […]
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness, for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, […]
Let it be known, I am a dreamer. I have a list of many, many books that I want to read, and I also have a very, very full life! But it is a deep desire of mine to continue to grow as a person, to grow in faith, and to live a life full […]
Motherhood would be cool if it was all picnics and zoo trips and choosing the cutest, hugest bows for fuzzy heads. There’s a lot of that and I love it. Even better, motherhood is kind of like having your own little circle of disciples in your home. I love that and I’m learning how to […]

“Hudson is my best friend.” (throws her arm around his shoulders) “See? We fit together.” :: :: :: Also? I am kind of *hoping* to get back to writing and posting more often. We’ll see how that goes. Wild pregnancy hormones + moving + traveling husband + lengthy to-do list + blogging aspirations? = possible wishful […]
“The Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2 Corinthians 3:17) Recently the Lord has brought my mind to rest on these words from Scripture: “…where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.“ Freedom. Freedom from the laws of sin and death. Freedom from bondage. Freedom to […]
The God who sees me. I was alone in the car and feeling the utter aloneness sink deep into my spirit. It was perhaps the most alone I’ve felt – with burdens my own to carry, persistent sickness, spiritual weariness, exhausted from long and tiring (sometimes aimless-feeling) days, while my husband was overseas. I sat […]
A place called home… via …where we wake and rise to greet the day, filled with promise. Two by two little ones’ eyes flutter open. They’re invited to dress, to eat, to begin – the youngest asking eagerly, “What are we doing today, Mommy?” A day in the home brings a dynamic blend of the […]
