Gratituesday: Born to love Jesus

 
I am so grateful that, despite all of my shortcomings, God is helping me to raise little girls that love Jesus.
At the preschool where the girls attend, they have Bible time each morning.  Yesterday morning, after they had their lesson, they were about to sing their praise song and Emily asked Miss Jean: “Can we just raise [...]

Gratituesday: Air Hockey

I just got back from a weekend in Gatlinburg with 20 other ladies.  I had been looking forward to this time away for weeks.  Oh…the fun, the fellowship, the freedom!  It was going to be fabulous!  You know what isn’t fabulous?  Bed bugs.  That’s right, people…bed bugs.  I’m sorry, but I am just not the “sleeping-with-bugs” [...]

My own special treasure…

I travel on…1 Chronicles 29. 
David is gathering materials for the building of the temple…a project that he is very passionate about.  Something he had longed to do himself, however the task of actually building it was given to his son, Solomon.

Sometimes we are not called to a specific task, but we may be called to help [...]

True Worship…

The journey through the Bible continues…today is exactly 9 weeks since I began.  The lesson plan I started with was intended to help me read through the Bible in 88 days.  Obviously, that is not exactly panning out.  However, I am still having a blast and refusing to quit.
I am currently in 1 Chronicles, but want [...]

I am not ill-equipped…

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed; 
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. – Psalm 61:2
For a couple of weeks now, I have just been feeling overwhelmed.  It was as if I had everything under control and then, little by little, the ground began [...]

Emily and Ella

Emily is loving children’s choir at church.  She has just learned “I have decided to follow Jesus”…of course, she believes it says “I have two sided to follow Jesus.”
Emily loves to put her hands on her hips…cock her head to the side with just enough attitude and say “You better recognize.”
Ella loves to feed us.  [...]

Sixteen Minutes

It is simply beyond comprehension…that a mother would be given only sixteen minutes with her child.  That is all the time that Stacy had with her beautiful son, Isaac.  Sixteen minutes.  It takes longer to give my girls a bath at night.  One night-night story, bedtime prayers, kisses for Ella and Emily and all of [...]

Into 1 Samuel…
Sweet Hannah – I just love this story.  In a time when fertility meant everything to a woman, Hannah was barren.  How hard it is to be surrounded by people who have what you desire.  Even those who love you the most may not understand the pain.  This seems to be the case [...]
