Lord, I know that nothing is new to You. That there’s no such thing as “unprecedented times.” I know that You're controlling everything that goes on down here, even though it all seems completely out of control to me. And I know that You have in Your hand the power of redemption.  That You alone, [...]

I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve written about my husband. You might not know that he just celebrated a milestone birthday. He turned 30 last month. I guess to say that he celebrated it is a mild overstatement. “We celebrated him“ is a more accurate way to put it. He assured us all [...]

I thought I’d just check in and give you a quick update on our lives, here in the midst of the craziness that is called COVID-19. I think we can all agree that this is one of the strangest times we’ve ever lived through. I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. I’m [...]

Cory named her Ruth Allison, after his grandmothers, Ruth and Alice. The children are already calling her Ruthie, so I [...]

The Power of a Mother's LoveShe clung to her husband and wept as she watched her son walk down the dusty road, head held high. She had feared that this day might come, and now her fears were reality.  As children, her sons had squabbled and scuffled, but she had hoped it was something they [...]

I realized this morning that I'm just not writing anymore. I trust that will change again soon, but right now I'm sufficiently occupied, and then some. 🙂 With the gardening /canning season in full swing, and the farm to keep up with, plus mowing grass, doing laundry, looking after my little ones, and more, there's [...]

Recently I've been thinking a lot about ministry. I think of it more often than I used to, since I have children . How can a failing human like me, be the kind of example that my children need? What do my children see in my life, that would make them want to turn to [...]

Disclaimer: I don’t know how to fix the issue with this post, so please don’t mind all the sideways scrolling that is required:( It’s Mother’s Day and I’m over here feeling all the feelings. We make a big deal over honoring our mothers on this one day per year. Flowers are bought, fancy dinners are [...]
