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”
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”
Generous Wisdom
This Sunday our Pastor had a great message on asking questions and reminded us of the importance of asking for wisdom. He read James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” Later that day I hadContinue reading “Generous Wisdom”
