Joy in Trials
Letting Go
As parents surely we do this more times than we like. No one likes to talk about it really because it can be a yucky part of life. I’m certainly not the first to think about this subject, and I have written about it in the past. The last several days God [...]
Perspective
While the rest of the world gets its panties in a wad over much more serious matters, my week can pretty much be explained pictures:
“Mommy? Will my forehead ever feel normal again?”
“Yes, darling, as soon as you stop running into things.”
Mama always told me that the laundry will wait. Well, it sure did, [...]
Ever-Present Help
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1
This passage is speaking in the context of persecution and war, but the statement is true for all children of God. He is our true refuge, our strength, and our great High Priest is very near in time of need. [...]
Little Bubbles
It takes stuff like sickness to burst my little idealistic worlds sometimes. Thursday night I called Eric at work complaining about my sudden realization that I was getting sick (again). I am too ashamed to say what I was thinking, but I grumbled, moaned, and told Eric all about how upset I [...]
Who Will Show us Some Good?
Tuesday morning a friend in my bible study discussion group made a comment about the promises of Psalm 4 in light of the distressing times in our economy. I let the balm of Scripture sink deep into my mind throughout the day and have been thinking about that passage ever since.
There are many who [...]
Hijacked
MERR HERE…
I’VE HIJACKED HER COMPUTER, AND FROM NOW ON EVERYTHING WILL BE IN ALL-CAPS BECAUSE I ONLY SPEAK IN AN EXTREMELY LOUD TONE OF VOICE.
ha ha… I thought that was funny. I’m doing much better after seven days now, but it seems I’ve caught what Steven had. What a week we [...]
Back Home
Our little guy is resting now in his bed at home. Praise the Lord! We are so thankful!
At one point a few years ago I used to study my site stats like nerd and wonder about where my readers were and all of that, but I just don’t have time right [...]
Prayers Going Up
Well, we don’t know what the diagnosis is at this point, but long story short, our little Steven is in the hospital. He is in good hands, both below and above, and we know God will give the doctors and nurses wisdom as they do more tests and take care of him today. [...]
Anchored
A week with sick little ones is h-a-r-d. We are so blessed that our daughters have not been sick, but both of our sons are under the weather. Our sweet Steven, who is three, is fighting something so fierce right now; God willing we will know more in the next few days after [...]
Here for a Visit, Here for a Birth?
My mom and sister (with husband and my nephew) came down today to help us for the rest of the week, and secretly I know they are doing their own share of begging God that He would bring Shepherd here quickly! Can you believe it? He still isn’t here! I share the [...]
