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”
Dikaiōsis
As I was putting the dishes away, a small, dark object on the wall caught my attention. I dried my hands and decided to assess the situation. As I moved closer, I noticed it was a small spider making his home underneath my kitchen cabinets. I quickly grabbed a paper towel, closed my eyes, andContinue reading “Dikaiōsis”
Seeds
Last Sunday before entering Holy Week, I felt lead to take a break from our regular curriculum with the boys homeschool, and focus on the Lord. When George was entering Kindergarten, I had enrolled him in public school, and a few weeks leading up to the first day, I had a nudge that I wasContinue reading “Seeds”
Overwhelmed
There is something in the air, do you feel it? Year after year, this week hits me with wonder, awe, and an utter and humble reality of my sin. This is a time when pressing in doesn’t feel like an obligation, but a response to who God really is. This week we celebrate and reflect onContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
Rejection
It was another beautiful weekend filled with praying, worshipping, proclaiming the good news of Jesus and seeing the wonder-working power of His name move in the lives of His daughters. The women’s retreat was full of tears, laughter, breakthroughs, and healing. Driving home, I reminisced on all that God had done; rejoicing in praise. IContinue reading “Rejection”
Time
The sky was getting dark as we packed up our hotdog sticks, marshmallow bags and evidence of a good firepit evening with my little family. 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”
Another Year Older
This week I look at my growing boys and celebrate another year older for them both. Is it truly celebration, or a bittersweet awareness that in eight years George will be 18 and off on a new adventure as an adult, with Oliver not too far behind? I think about a commercial I saw aContinue reading “Another Year Older”
Which Will Guard Your Hearts and Minds
I had an unsettling dream a few nights ago. I have faux Olive branches on my entryway table and in my dream, the leaves of my Olive branches were slowly turning to embers and soon the entire branch was surrounded by a slow flame that eventually burned all branches. I am not a dream interpreterContinue reading “Which Will Guard Your Hearts and Minds”
What Was That?
During a retreat as we were worshipping, the presence of the Lord was evident and beautiful. During that time, I had given a prophetic word to a young lady that resulted in tears and awe of how great and amazing our God truly is. Later that afternoon, I was sitting alone gathering my thoughts andContinue reading “What Was That?”
