“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”~ Psalm 46:5 (I’m not going to qualify or quantify my story by trying to prove to you that my brokenness was worthy of God’s intervention – I am just going to tell you of the part of the journey of one of God’s girls … Continue reading →
June is our family’s Big Birthday month. We celebrate with one Big Party. One reason it’s my favorite celebration of the year is because the setting is outside. When they’re all outside – the boys and their girls, the grands – no one cares so much about the noise. The little ones’ energy doesn’t seem so big in outdoor spaces, … Continue reading →
When the words don’t come, it puts me at a loss. That the words don’t come doesn’t necessarily herald a hard season. Sometimes it heralds a season to be savored. A season to just pause and take it all it – the sweet and the sour, the high and low, the tough and the tender. It’s been a year! Not … Continue reading →
Remembering the blessings God has given is hope whispering, reminding – His ways have worked before; they work now, though I may not see, Our God with His ways is working, will work again – and I will tell the story of it. Last week, I felt fragile, worn – like I needed to be wrapped in tissue paper and … Continue reading →

My 4th son … Continue reading →

I’m reposting this from last year because I’m needing this encouragement today – that God has such goodness planned, even after a crucifixion experience, even after a resurrection experience – His plans for goodness don’t stop – they … Continue reading →
Today, this week – I’m remembering blessing, answered prayers, and Holy Spirit. . . . . . . celebrating my son and his future wife in a place where the holy spirit has fallen. When it’s fallen in a place, it lingers – and affects those who come upon that place again. I felt it there the day of the … Continue reading →
I’m reading the chronological bible in a year – backwards, starting with Revelation. I was intrigued by the organization to the letters to the Churches. Each letter starts out with Jesus identifying himself(which I wrote about here), followed by the deeds Jesus knows about each church(which I lay out here but instead of for the church, for the individual), then … Continue reading →

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not … Continue reading →
I’m reading the chronological bible in a year – backwards, starting with Revelation. I was intrigued by the organization to the letters to the Churches. Each letter starts out with Jesus identifying himself, followed by the deeds Jesus knows about each church, then constructive criticism with recommendations and solutions, and completed with outcomes of behavior choices. I’ve been savoring the … Continue reading →
