Life is unbelievably noisy. We live in a constant state of anxiety and go. This morning, as my brain and heart raced on the road to nowhere, I declared “I’ve had it.” Done. Ever feel that way? As a mom, wife, business owner, and responsible human being I cannot just declare “done,” but it signalsContinue reading “Turn me off…”

Hope In One Thing
We use the word “hope” often. I hope my child grows to love Jesus. I hope my husband experiences healing here with his rheumatoid arthritis. I hope that you have a good day. I hope you enjoy the holiday season. I hope that I live fully to glorify Christ. The only place to put myContinue reading “Hope In One Thing”
Layers
It seems that everytime I post something I am learning or convicted with, the week following gives another chance to learn even more. The last post was about need–and I have been driven to even more need this week. Physically I have been in need from the way I feel on hormones. Emotionally IContinue reading “Layers”
Triple day
So, three posts in one day? You can tell I have not had internet access on my computer for awhile! I have run into people lately who have noticed that I have been infrequent with blogging. Just a quick update on where I am…In the same place! We are taking a little break from theContinue reading “Triple day”
What do I entitle this?
It has been a while since I have written. There’s so much to tell yet so little. Part of me wants to pull back all the way from blogging because I have put a vulnerable part of myself out there, and I have found myself feeling responsible to walk this infertility journey out perfectly. Performance…itContinue reading “What do I entitle this?”
Give us this day…
These last few weeks and the coming one can qualify for some of the craziest I have experienced of late. All good things…just a lot of busyness in preparation for my niece’s wedding, welcoming my nephew home from semester at sea, running the business side of WDC, running the ministry side of WDC, celebrating theContinue reading “Give us this day…”
An update
I sit here on a rainy Saturday afternoon in my pajamas listening to the wonderful music of my dog, Bailey, playing “devil box” in the backyard. The new wood fence is up, and I can enjoy an afternoon of Bailey playing and not escaping. I cannot tell you the last time IContinue reading “An update”
Margins
This past week has been really emotionally draining for me. It is one of those times where everything catches up with you. I realize that I forgot to remain in Him, and I decided somehow that I was in charge of coordinating life. No wonder I am exhausted. How do we so quickly forget? GregContinue reading “Margins”
My Shepherd
Yesterday, I was reminded of Jesus as Shepherd through my friend and mentor, Melba. We were talking through suffering and broken dreams and trust in Him. I expressed how I can look back and see how God had drawn me to Himself and prepared me for this time in my pastContinue reading “My Shepherd”
Limping along
My life is a lot about relationships…listening, praying, counseling, teaching, checking in, studying (in order to teach). The other part is the task oriented piece of keeping our house in order and managing our finances. (I make it sound like I should say words like portfolio and fiscal.) For those of you who do notContinue reading “Limping along”
