Have you ever wondered?

This is going to be so personal you may say, “please can you keep that to yourself”. Now that I shared that fear maybe you’ll celebrate with me instead.  Parish and I, like all marriages, have had our ups and downs.  Ups have been out of this world, downs have been hard.  Surprisingly hard.  When…

Never Grow Up

Sweet little girl, when did you get so big? I remember when you asked for a t-shirt nightgown with mom and dad’s picture.  Your love for unicorns, rainbows, and the mystery moon motivates me to stay young of mind and enjoy the beauty of God’s world.  I wish I could capture this time.  You bring…

Limited only by our affections…

I hesitate to share where I personally felt limited so that you can apply meaning to your “limits”.  At work, a coworker shared this verse with me after sharing with her a vulnerable spot in my life, Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious…

Prayer Walking–Momsinprayer.org

A friend invited me to prayer walk many schools in the area–Community High, Thomas Dale, Curtis, Wells, Harrowgate, Carver, and Beulah.  I was tied up with other commitments but it seemed that in the asking and the knowledge of her group prayer walking, I was there–you were there. We are bound together in His love…

Dry Bones Worship

After a long day at work and normal exhaustion, I found myself sitting in a church to worship at a Kari Jobe concert.  My children were so excited to be there.  Honestly, I was excited to be there but I was done, raveled, and a tad fed up in some areas.  I had an attitude.  The hardest…

Sunset, One Star, God’s Glory

As your children grow up you spend less time on management of their safety and interactions with the world around them and more time on being mindful in the moment.  You are not jumping from one activity to another because their attention spans are longer and more focused.  Because of this, I had the opportunity…

Feast on Jesus: He is our manna

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 Lesson 3 of…

Give us THIS day

This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it!  Psalm 118:24 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Song of Solomon 2:1 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his…
