Build each other up
I was not looking my best the other day and my husband told me, in the most genuine way; that I looked beautiful. Though I may not have looked my best, it was a lovely compliment to receive. My youngest son told me today that he liked my new shirt and that I looked nice.…

Eternity in mind
I feel like lately my life has been on fast forward. I was always told when I was young, of the swiftness of time. How as we age, the years seem to go by faster. Which leads me into thinking more about my life and how I am living it. Am I using every moment…

Spread His word
My husband is seldom the last one to hang up on the phone. He doesn’t like goodbyes and so always has the other person hang up first. I can’t say that I blame him, goodbyes are not always easy. Even if it is more of a see you later and we will see them again…

He leads us through it
My dad and I took a drive, that I will not soon forget. It was quite a few years ago and I can honestly say I do not remember why we were on this particular drive, other than we were headed home. We had been heading down a highway. My dad had sat in the…

My husband and I had dreamed of adding a baby to our family. After a few years of trying, we became pregnant, only to have it end in a miscarriage and a series of health struggles. These last few months have been a journey through unknown and unexpected territory. It has not been easy, in…
