I fondly recall a time around 2 1/2 years ago where the children and I prayed for something specific every single night. We prayed right before bed as I rocked Levi (he was only 2 then) and Ayla would somehow squeeze in next to us. What a sight we must have been as this was […] Read more…
Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend and former colleague. We began sharing how we similarly felt uncomfortable hosting large crowds of people within our homes. And, even more accurately, how we preferred only certain people or family to join us. For me, I subconsciously tell myself, “When we have our dream house…” What I’m […] Read more…
Hi ya’ll! I’m excited about this lesson. Not because it’s so earth shattering, but because of how it was inspired. I was sitting with Ayla and Levi one night last week and we had already finished dinner and were all relaxing on devices. Well, I was doing work, but it was web design so it […] Read more…

Hi friends! Hope you are having a great week. 2 Corinthians 12:10 (NLT)“That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong .” I guess I have always memorized this verse to say “when I […] Read more…
I feel I’ve been bitten by the buying bug. LOL – that sounds like a Dr. Seuss title! It just seems that every 6-8 weeks I get that itch to buy some decorative item for the home. We really don’t need anything (or have much more space) to add anything downstairs so then my mind […] Read more…
Oh, how I wish I took before pictures of our yard! The several of you who had been to our former rental house will hopefully remember so you can appreciate its transformation. I know nothing formal about yard work, but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and try….and try I did and […] Read more…
