Earlier this week while I was cleaning the house, I had to run upstairs to get a garbage bag and a ziploc bag for the downstairs. As I walked past the laundry room I stopped, better change the laundry, before it starts smelling bad, all while chanting to myself, garbage bag and a ziploc bag, so I wouldn’tContinue reading “What You Need, When You Need It”

Let’s Smile and Change the World
It was a few years ago when I remember hearing my husband writing a catchy tune in the music studio. I stopped what I was doing and started dancing my way to him. The beat was fun and made us both smile and want to go lay on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean. While heContinue reading “Let’s Smile and Change the World”
Mama
Sitting in the cool of the Florida evening, I think about the last four days and my heart is full. I watched my boys laugh, show faces of excitement I haven’t seen before, and hug me for no reason at all expect plain old happiness and love. My mother, my friend, my special mama treatedContinue reading “Mama”
A Little Windy
Living on a hill in central Montana, wind has become a familiar friend, that we expect will stop by every now and again. Most days, the wind comes softly and gently rustles the tall grass on the top of the knoll. Other times, we can see it blowing through the valley, and once is reachesContinue reading “A Little Windy”

I enjoyed every part of our sitting on logs roasting good things and having great conversation, while in the back of my mind I was thinking, tomorrow is the boy’sContinue reading “Time”
L-O-V-E
Today is Valentine’s Day. The complex, intricate, vast, multiple-definition, four letter word, L-O-V-E is celebrated today. Love has been incredibly overcomplicated through the years, and I don’t know about you, but I see the definition of love constantly changing it’s rules, and it’s value. I see pride and selfish ambition overtaking this four-letter word andContinue reading “L-O-V-E”
An Open Heart
A few years ago, I was sitting across from a friend at a coffee shop. As we were talking, I pictured her heart with a small layer of concrete wrapped around it. God was holding a chisel and gently taping away as it was cracking and breaking off. After we discussed what I saw, IContinue reading “An Open Heart”
The Ground We Do Not See
Have you ever thought about the ground God waters, that no one has ever seen? A place in the world that no man has ever laid foot and yet the land is taken care of, not by humans, but God. This week while reading in the book of Job, this scripture caught my attention andContinue reading “The Ground We Do Not See”
A Small Victory
From them will proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who celebrate; And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. Jeremiah 30:19 Today, I enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise for the good things that God hasContinue reading “A Small Victory”
