Praise Be
Read more: Praise BeGood morning, beloved, I’ve never listened to Rick Warren preach. I’ve read the Purpose Driven Life. When we were going to Willow Creek, Bill Hybels told a story about visiting Saddleback Church. Mr. Warren is a hugger. Gives hugs to everyone. Bill Hybels is not. AT ALL. My path has really never intersected with Mr.…

To be with you…
Read more: To be with you…Good morning beloved, Today I felt a blanket of sadness and overwhelmedness (yes, it’s a word in Cara’s dictionary..) cover me from head to food. I woke up with grief about relationships and worry for the year ahead of homeschooling. I longed to download with my husband..ran out of time. I watched my children begin…

Mud pits
Read more: Mud pitsPassion week has kinda crept up on me. If I still my soul, if I stay calm, I know that there is so much more to this life than I am allowing. This idea that I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength leaves little room for fear, doubt…

Read more: How great a debtor!Good morning, beloved, Ever notice how when life is quiet, peaceful, everyone is healthy, money in the bank, how easy it is to come to rely on this?

Good morning, beloved, I was reminded of two prayers yesterday. After a day of much frustration and weeping with my children, grinding through a day that did not reflect all that He had shown me that morning. I sat numb after the kids went to AWANA. My children depend on routine and that was a fail yesterday.…

A list…
Read more: A list…Good morning, beloved, A quiet morning, this morning is turning out to be. Everyone is still. I like peaceful. Who doesn’t, right? After the last couple of days, a quiet start to our day is a very, very nice change. On Tuesday, Ella lay listless and curled in a ball. I did everything I could…

my Victor
Read more: my VictorGood morning, beloved, What do you do when the words won’t come? When it feels as though your thoughts are not connecting with the keyboard? Our heat has still not been fixed. (They are waiting on parts.) Our sewer problem has been cleaned up but we have no hope of this being a permanent solution.…

He lifts me up…
Read more: He lifts me up…Good morning, beloved! An interesting question was posed to me today. What is the Lord’s message to you in this? The “this” has been a challenging couple of weeks. We have been essentially without heat. We have space heaters. The heat in the bedrooms upstairs has worked but that’s the only area, oh, and the…

Good morning, beloved, Parts of our house are not heated now. Now the nice here is we rent our house, so when a problem occurs, such as this one with incredible money needing to be poured out, ahem, it is not our bread. Bad here is when the company we use is so busy, they…
