Old Things and New Things

How often do we identify ourselves through the lens of our past, through words spoken over us, or through lies the enemy whispers? We can get stuck looking behind us in a backwards cycle, trying to re-live moments, trying to see it through different angles, only to see the same thing again and again… ButContinue reading “Old Things and New Things”

The Harvest

These last few weeks have been busied getting ready for the winter season. The warm sun has given us extra time to reap the fruits of our labor in the garden, chop the wood, and finish the extra renovating projects left to do on the house. We took a quick jaunt to visit Jaja andContinue reading “The Harvest”

Double Portion

As we were doing math at the dining room table, I noticed Oliver was struggling with His subtraction. I grabbed a handful of mini marshmallows out of the pantry and gave him a yummy option to help him see the numbers a little more clearly. It wasn’t before long I heard, “mom, George is eatingContinue reading “Double Portion”

Most often they choose the sand that is close to the water that is packed down, hardened and easier to walk on. I believe we are seeing many walking on sand that seems solid but fail toContinue reading “The Rock”

Habits and Pot Roasts

After a recent visit to Idaho, a friend of mine introduced me to Nancy, a godly woman who has been in ministry for over 30 years. We instantly began talking, and within minutes she was pouring her knowledge and wisdom into me of all that she had learned over the last several years. She saidContinue reading “Habits and Pot Roasts”

The Greatest In The Kingdom of Heaven

Last weekend, while visiting my brother-in-law and his sweet family, we decided to have an afternoon swim in their neighborhood pool. The kids were slopped with sunscreen, googles on, and could not get in the pool fast enough. They were jumping in and swimming around within minutes of us arriving. I, however, took my timeContinue reading “The Greatest In The Kingdom of Heaven”

Joy

The moment I felt George move for the first time in my belly is a memory that I will never forget. I smiled as big as my lips would stretch for something I waited my whole life for was finally a reality. Then, several years later was the moment I laid in front of aContinue reading “Joy”
