10 Years! (Dear Husband)
Dear Husband, I know today could be passed by by most people. But our 10 years are a BIG deal! When I reflect on this day 10 years ago, I was filled with excitement of a dream coming true as well as the weight of how serious this covenant I was walking into. It has…

In Awe As Dreams Come True!
I have to admit something to you. I am an optimist. In some cases others may consider me a little too positive. I mean, have you looked at the world lately? And my response is always, “Yes, and I look through my Creators eyes and see hope everywhere I look.” Most people who see me…

Adventure!
It seems hard to be adventurous when we are told to stay home… So we took to the road and grabbed some lunch. We live in such a beautiful area! I am thankful for the rain that makes it all so green. Have you ever noticed all the different shades of green? God could have…

Mother’s Day…
Sigh. This day is full of many emotions. When we were children we never knew what our Mommas were feeling or going through. But the truth is that they often were grieving or struggling in some way. Sure, many years were great when this day came but so many brave souls overcame a day feeling…

Boxes and Bows
When did our lives become so busy and self-consuming? The other day a longing came over me for the pure joy over simple things. Everyday we miss extravagant happenings and miracles. Because of technology, our blessed country full of provisions and our selfish culture, we lose sight of beautiful things everyday. We can get caught…

Better Than The Lilies
There is a statement I keep saying this year, “He clothes me better than the lilies.” This is a significant statement about how I trust the Lord. He has always provided for our needs plus some. It has been our priority to take care of our daughter first. We pay hundreds a month for her…
