The next few days I will be in Texas enjoying fellowship with my dear friend, Tamra, and a few others.  My wonderful, gracious, encouraging, sacrificing husband has released me to go be with my friend during a most difficult trial.  Thank you, Jeremy!!  I’m praying the Lord will strengthen you as you serve Him by […]

Just wanted to say “Thanks” in public to my dear husband who spent time working on my blog when he didn’t really feel like it. And, I must add that I didn’t even ask him to!! It was all his initiative. So, Jeremy, “thank you” for thinking of me when there was […]

Well, around 3:20 last night I was awaked by the sound of convulsing next to me and realized that my hair was now the recipient of my 3 yr old’s stomach contents! He continued to empty his stomach on our bed as I jolted Jeremy to life. This began the mad dash…me to […]

This is a poem that Jeremy wrote for me when I was pregnant with C.J. He spent about an hour writing it and typing it up the day of my surprise shower and Shelley read it to me at the shower…I must admit that I was constantly saying to myself that I’m not that […]

a. Does he like my hair long or short?
b. If […]

I have been listening to a message by Doug Phillips from Vision Forum Ministries titled, “A Wise Woman’s Guide to Blessing Her Husband’s Vision” and I am so challenged and convicted and inspired and excited and THANKFUL! God is so kind in leading me to these resources…by challenging my wrong ideas and patterns that […]

God in His kindness has been exposing my sinful heart to me and though it is not fun I am so grateful for His care. I am so grateful for C.J. Mahaney’s teaching from James 4 on this topic. His example of humility in looking to his own heart during times of […]

Well, a lot has happened since I last posted. The Lord has really been working in many different ways. As most of you know we are originally from Texas and are looking forward to a visit back home. Because of the higher cost of living and some complications with our home in […]
