In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. ~Robert Frost Sometimes, the blog is quiet because I don’t have much to say. Other times, it’s quiet because I have a lot to say but nothing that should be shared here. And right now, it’s quiet because…

He walks with me
This weekend has been tough. The emotional roller coaster I have been on these last few days has left me disgruntled and exhausted {emotionally, physically and spiritually} Comfort comes from the little things. ~ back rub from the hubby ~ pedicure with teal polish ~ Rita’s italian ice {watermelon flavor} ~ Pinterest {the latest technological…
When ministry hurts your heart
I have shed a lot of tears over the last few days. I normally cry at sappy moments in movies, milestone moments in my children’s lives and weddings. This isn’t that type of cry. This is a gutteral “why are you letting this happen, God?” cry from a deep place in my heart. One of…
Third World Symphony and an interview with Shaun Groves
I was honored to interview Shaun Groves {he allowed three questions} to help spread the word about his new release, Third World Symphony. I found Shaun’s blog when some of the bloggers I read regularly traveled to Kenya with Compassion International last year. Shaun is an award winning singer and songwriter and recently released a…
TTT- Hope Chest
When Miss S. came into our home, I immediately got her a hope chest. Already 18, she {and I} had some catching up to do with this tradition. She had no idea what I was talking about and acted like she thought it was a silly idea. Until she saw the types of things I…
A true gift

Writing an ebook and loving it
I have had two ebook manuscripts sitting in my documents for several months. Fear has kept me from publishing them. That and not knowing what the heck am I doing! I was thrilled when Sarah Mae, co-founder of the Relevant Conference {a life changing weekend for me last October} and author of one of my…
Growing in your marriage
She needed to be a brunette. The bride-on-the-wedding-cake-topper-thingy, that is. Fourteen years ago, finding a brunette {because I am not blonde} cake-topper bride was a huge priority in my life. On the eve of making the biggest commitment of my life. Thankfully, my grandparents rose to the challenge and scoured stores in the four-state area…
Looking down the tracks
Have you ever been in a rush to catch a train? Push your ticket through, run up the escalator, race out of breath only to reach the platform in time to see the train disappearing down the track. Parenting, as of late, feels much like this to me. Jason and Miss S. are 18…
