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…
Praying for our children
Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children. Lamentations 2:19 Do we beg God for the protection of our children? Why do we have to pray for our precious ones if God created them–fearfully and wonderfully created them. God’s…
Feast on Jesus: He is our manna

I’ve been listening and studying the messages of Sharon Thomas from Established Footsteps. Romans 8 and Psalm 27 go great together! At least after studying those two messages with her I found a pattern of glorious triumph in my personal life. I am not obligated to my feelings and emotions. The Lord is my light…
Give us THIS day

Mint Jelly
Today was a beautiful day of cutting the grass (yes it takes us two days) and trimming branches. My husband asked me to “tend to the mint”–he seriously sounded like Pa on Little House on the Prairie. I smiled. What to do with so much mint? Prep: 15 min. + standing Process: 10 min. Yield: 88…
As the deer…
Shortly after writing the post, “Wholehearted Parenting” my teenager and husband joined me in the living room for a morning chat before the busy day of VBS and cutting grass. Looking out the window, for the first time, we saw a mommy and baby deer in our front yard! God you are faithful to confirm…
