Stains…Adventures in Egg Dying

March 25, 2013

Seriously, isn’t that precious?  Look at my cute kids happily concentrating on decorating Easter eggs.  The time-honored tradition that has absolutely nothing to do with the true celebration of this season, but we participate nonetheless.  It’s a delightful craft filled with joy and creativity. And GADS of stress! I’m having a moment of confession here. [...]

A Heavenly Carnival…

March 1, 2013

My dear friend, Melissa, went to be with Jesus yesterday. Brokenhearted doesn’t really begin to touch the way we’ve all been feeling. Our group of friends has fought with her for nearing 2 years now.  We’ve watched children, and taken meals.  We’ve been on our knees… praying and texting scriptures with truth and encouragement between us [...]

While We Breathe, We Hope…

February 25, 2013

My friend Katie always says, “While we breathe, we hope.” So that’s what I’ve been doing around here lately…breathing…and hoping.  And all of that breathing and hoping is the reason that I’ve been quiet around these parts. After returning home from Bangladesh, I was surprised that it took me almost 2 full weeks to really [...]

The Wire {We Are Free}

January 3, 2013

My kids got a book for Christmas that has had me really thinking lately.  It’s called “The Man Who Walked Between The Towers” by Mordicai Gerstein.  It’s the true story of a French aerialist, Philippe Petit, who on August 7, 1974 secretly strung a cable between the Twin Towers in New York City under the [...]

2013…Dwell in Possibility

January 2, 2013

I’m having a moment. Blogland is ripe with words that people have selected as their word for 2013, and right now, I’m just struggling. I took the past week off from writing and working in general as my hubs had taken the week off and we busied ourselves with home improvements and family time.  It [...]

Go Fish {Allume Devotional}

December 3, 2012

So, Allume has passed, and I’m still finding myself pondering some of the same things that the Lord has had me pondering for months now. Much of it, I shared in my session at Allume on Blogging as Discipleship.  I’m going to share a few snippits from that session below, but if you want the [...]

Make Way {Allume Devotional)

November 19, 2012

I was on a phone call the other day with a wise new friend.  Somehow in the conversation, my friend brought up the words from Psalm 77 about how the Lord makes a way where there was none. I’ve been thinking about those words quite a bit since.  That day even, I knew I had [...]

Bangladesh!

November 14, 2012

Breaking News ya’ll! Here’s the short version. Through a series of crazy, God-sized events and introductions a few weeks ago, I met this really fantastic gal named Lindsey who works with Food For the Hungry.  We had a beer and talked real life.  We connected. Then, a week or so later, I got an email [...]
