This morning mom got on the scale and let the whole house know with shouts of joy that she now weighs 91 lbs.!!!!!! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Psalms 118:24 This verse is for rejoicing days like today and disappointing days like 12/12/12, the […]
Waiting on God
I know I’ve mentioned it before but Streams in the Desert is a classic devotional and one of my favorites. It’s so very encouraging every morning I open it and no matter how long I’ve been gleaning from it (years), it’s fresh and applicable in a brand new way. This morning it directed me to Isaiah chapter 30. […]
It's a Parade!
Psalm 23: 6 “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life . . .” Can you see it? There you are, tooling along day in and day out; some days feel easy-breezy while others offer challenges you never imagined facing, and parading behind you, hot on your trail, are goodness […]
Like a Foreign Language
Spent some time looking back through old journals last week and sharing funny stories with my kids from their growing up years.

From Weary to Happy!
Weary has been the word in our home recently. We’ve been tired, at times discouraged and just plain old worn out! But isn’t it just like the Lord to turn our mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11)? That is just what He’s done! Mom and I were at the Wings of Refuge tonight and were both […]
I'm Disconnected!
Tonight the women of the house had a little prayer time. During mom’s prayer she said that sometimes we can feel very distant from the Lord through these times and she asked for His connection. I thanked Him in my heart, because now through mom’s prayer I knew I was not the only one feeling […]
