There are not a lot of words to say about what we have seen and heard in these last few months. There has been a plethora of emotions, thoughts and ideas. When waves of emotions hit me, there is nothing that can calm my anxious heart like sitting with my Jesus. In a season ofContinue reading “In the Light of His Glory and Grace”

Letter of Recommendation
When I was a music teacher, I had student teachers, observers, and classroom helpers that would ask me to write a letter of recommendation for their upcoming opportunities in the teaching world. Before writing, I would think of that person’s good qualities, achievements, and characteristics. I always tried to be honest, extremely optimistic, and mostContinue reading “Letter of Recommendation”
Like a Tree
When we arrived home from our trip to Florida, I was amazed to see that our yard was not only a darker shade of green, but covered in big, leafy weeds….everywhere. I was shocked that a weed so leafy and green can grow in such a short amount of time. When the warm sun cameContinue reading “Like a Tree”
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”

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”
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?”
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”
Fishers of Men
I have been familiar with this man at sea since I was a little girl. He hung on our living room wall for years and just recently, my son George asked his Jaja if he could have it. Now, the familiar man at sea hangs on our wall. While teaching the boys homeschool, I foundContinue reading “Fishers of Men”
