Good morning, beloved, Well, we made it back home yesterday! 🙂 We have an amazing week ahead of us, friends. A week to take the eyes off of ourselves, our circumstances, our hearts, and focus on our Savior..can we do it? Can we spend this next week, Holy Week, in adoration, in wonder, in speculation…

Good morning, beloved, I think God is having fun with His beloved child today. And I’m smiling with Him. Last night, I drank a lovely latte too late in the afternoon..and paid for it with not sleeping well. When I did fall asleep, someone had set an alarm on my phone for 12:15am…falling asleep again…

Good morning, beloved, It hit me like a ton of bricks that I was on a trajectory yesterday that I did not like. I’m just being honest. My thought and my emotions were on a roller coaster that was not going anywhere good. I had gotten a great case against everyone in my family. Joshua…

Good morning, beloved, Well, times being as they are, ahem, I spent a little more time looking for my picture today than I should. I had no idea that there was controversy surrounding what side of the “bank” of the Jordan river Jesus was baptized on. I just wanted a picture. Then I got wrapped…

Good morning, beloved, There is something very appealing to me about this picture above. I’m trying to put my finger on it. Maybe it is the colors.

Good morning, beloved, Well, I have decided that I know my son’s life verse. I am going to bless him with the knowledge of it early on. He will share Bill Hybel’s verse. “Be steadfast, immovable..”now if we could just get to the Lord’s work part and his work not being in vain and so…

Good morning, beloved, Allow me to share with you the verses of the day: 1 John 1 8If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 9If…

Good afternoon, beloved! Well, I’m just about to embark on a new study in the Word. I’m pretty excited. I’m taking my family along. We are going to study…Esther…Joshua and I are going to use the Precepts study and the kids are going to use the Grapevine studies curriculum. Woohoo! Most certainly we will not…

Good morning, beloved, We went to the Morton Arboreteum yesterday..no, the above picture is NOT mine. First impression, I’m amazed as my children age, my anxiety level decreases. I become much more of a people and landscape watcher. 🙂 Second impression, I’m amazed at the creativity of our God! I think I could take a…

Ephesians 6 “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies…
