Wow, has it really been a month since I’ve posted?? I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patience with me and sticking around while I’ve been so quiet!

A Fun New Monthly Series!
If you’ve spent any time around here at all, then you probably know that hubs and I have three amazing kids. Two girls, ages 8 and 5, and a wacky lil’ man who is 2.

The Best is Yet To Come
I must confess, the words – they hide Nor can I see Your face. The veil, it hides what lies beyond A fogged mirror; smudged glasses distort my view of grace.

And yet something seems…shallow. Wanting. I’m seeking You…but really seeking myself. For my benefit. I forget that I thank You because of what You’ve done; but …
The Blessing of A Bloom
This post first appeared on my old blog a few years ago. It’s message resonated with me today, so I wanted to share it with you again. We planted it back at the beginning of summer. Along with the strawberries that never quite made it, and the sweet pea that bloomed in beauty. It was the first of the three …
When You’re Under It All
Have you ever been buried under such stress or grief or burden that you weren’t sure you could function throughout your own day, let alone care for your kids? I have. In fact, one day not too long ago I could barely breathe. I had no idea how I was going to get through the day. And I really had …
