God Sends Yellow Birds
Yesterday I rested for a moment. I looked out my large bedroom window and saw so much life. The beauty from our apple tree, birds flying about and butterflies fluttering amidst other plants, revealed so much abundance. As I breathed deep, my eye caught some movement in a neighboring tree. I saw the color yellow…

Pure Enjoyment
I have to admit that I have enjoyed the past month (even though it feels like two or three) in more ways than I have struggled with the changes it has brought. I have enjoyed the new and creative ways we have come together as a family. In many ways it has increased the love…

Focus
What is your focus on today? During these days of slowing down and coming close in your homes we have time, finally, to get “unbusy”… We have been forced to halt and stop what has become our normal. I love the unbusy… I love the slow. For me it means we get to focus on…

When God Takes Away
Have you ever felt like God was taking things away from you? The past year has been a life-changing year. My heart has been broken and wrecked in ways I never thought possible. Unimaginable things have occurred, both good and bad. We are still staring evil in the face. God’s gaze is my focal point.…

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…

Building An Ark
Adventures are full of perilous battles, and travels. Memories are made to last a lifetime during such times. Waiting for an end of one journey and the beginning of another is an adventure all on its own.
