I am not usually at a loss for words. If you know me in person, you know that. I have a thought/comment/idea/opinion about EVERYTHING!! In social situations, this skill comes in handy; I can have a conversation with just about anyone, anywhere. I fully recognize that it can also be an annoying trait of mine.

Where to start…
I didn’t blog at all last week. A family member reminded me of that last night – and I did have a goal of blogging at least 3 times a week right? So, here I am sitting down, deciding where to start… I have about 3-4 blogs rolling around in my head – great ideas thatContinue reading “Where to start…”
Dear Birth Mother,
Dear Birth Mother, Our daughter recently celebrated a birthday. As we celebrated, I wonder if you remember her and think about the day she was born? Do you remember holding her as a newborn, smelling her head, counting her fingers and toes? As I think about our daughter now, I so wonder what that momentContinue reading “Dear Birth Mother,”
Dear Celebrate Recovery family,
Dear Celebrate Recovery family, Today, you celebrate your one-year anniversary of ministry in the community. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all you have, and will continue to mean to me.

Praying for Others
Recently, an acquaintance spoke of praying for others. The gist of the comment was that she no longer believe God hears her when she prays for herself, but that He hears when she prays for others. My response was this: And this is precisely why we all pray for others. Sometimes when we are removedContinue reading “Praying for Others”
New Goals for Fall
A lot is changing in my life right now. We’ve moved to a whole new place, we have a new baby coming, I’m currently a stay-at-home mom again, and God is knitting our family together in ways that I’m watching in awe and disbelief and wonder. And, it’s beginning to look a lot like FallContinue reading “New Goals for Fall”
Teach Them to Your Children
Last night and today I’ve been thinking about how we pass our faith onto our children. I was a part of a message board discussion started by a professed “non-believer.” The question posed was aimed at Atheists/Agnostics and asked how to answer God questions that arise from children. I weighed in on the discussion, notContinue reading “Teach Them to Your Children”
Storytime
I love storytime. I’m a reader – always have been – and I especially love to hear a story told or read out loud. That’s one of the reasons that I love storytime at libraries. The children’s librarians are usually sooo good at reading the stories in an engaging way – capturing your attention withContinue reading “Storytime”
A Day in the Life
My days right now, look nothing like I thought they might when I was growing up. My days are full, yet I often feel like I don’t get much accomplished. Raising 4 kids while pregnant is hard. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids to pieces, but it’s hard work. So, in an effortContinue reading “A Day in the Life”
All Moved In
So, we’ve officially moved. Too much stuff inside a too small uHaul = a miracle. Seriously folks, it was like the opposite of the Loaves and Fish story; God minimized the stuff. We were so blessed by the support of our friends and church family that came out to help load and clean. So manyContinue reading “All Moved In”
