It was one year ago last Saturday that Rob and I first laid eyes on our church here in the Big City. I can hardly believe that one year ago I was writing in my journal from my picnic table in my front yard, underneath a tree, with no houses in sight. I don’t know if [...]

The party went well. Rob and I are exhausted. L spent the weekend with his former foster family. I also, for some reason, painted the bathroom over the weekend. Am I a nut, or what?

The best thing I can think of about this vacation is actually more than one thing.
The food. Garrett has cooked for us nonstop since we arrived. He’s not gourmet, but man is he ever close. WOW! Melon and chocolate the first night. Eggs, ham, cheese and potato [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes
… or two or three days, even.
I am sitting here now somewhat in awe of the crabbiness and nastiness I showed here on my blog last week. So in honor of God leading me by the hand out of that pit once more, I shall speak of my blessings today!
I don’t remember if I mentioned [...]

What I Want
The Lord promises in Psalm 113:9 that he will settle the barren woman in her home as the happy mother of children.
I am claiming that promise in the name of Jesus. Amen.
I want to be settled.
In my home.
As a happy momma.
Of CHILDREN. (plural)
Yesterday buoyed my spirit. We played 2 hours of “would you rather”….
To Stormy, [...]

Merry Christmas 2008
Every single thing is changing. Nothing is left out. But the Lord is still on His throne. He will provide. He alone is my strength and salvation. Praise to His name. Amen.

Beenie Weenie
Do you all know about Beenie Weenie? It’s a recipe. I’m licking my lips as I write this, because, dear internet, I am making the mother lode of all baked bean recipes. I am making 4 gallons of baked beans.
So you take (in my case homemade) baked beans, and you cut up hot dogs, and [...]

Perfect Submission
I sat down at my computer about 45 minutes ago, my heart disquieted. My head is so clouded sometimes that I can’t gather my thoughts enough to even pray. I wanted to write a post. I wanted to pray for Rob in his ministry, his schooling, and one other thing on [...]

Smellin’ Coffee
Praise God for His wonderful words to my heart today!
I was driving home from my piano lesson and took the long way to drive by a coworker’s house. Nikki just put in her 2 weeks’ notice because she graduate college and is putting her degree to work for her. She’s going through some tough times [...]

Heart Cries Out
Dear Abba God,
Today we learned from my darling hubby (Rob) that you want to be close with us, not as a disciplinarian, but as a true Father. Let me always remember your love and stop fearing the unknown. Let me stop fearing being left out or left behind. Let me stop being stung by weird [...]

Break-in, Breakfast, Weddings
We’re booked to overflowing this weekend. Rob and I took my parents to breakfast here in Town this morning, but before we left, got a call that Rob’s Church in Middleton was broken into overnight. They broke down the front door, and tried to break into the Safe with a crowbar.
They took money out of [...]

A Little R&R
On Saturday evening, we saw some friends for a bit of shopping, and then to The Olive Garden for dinner. They are R and R, our former pastor and his wife. We have such a grand time together and my heart is still singing because of all the fun we had.
Also, Rob is an amazing [...]
