Happy Friday, everyone. Today we're counting our many blessings. His Word says that it's good to give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 107:1). It's in the 70's and springy clothes are just the best. Spring break begins today and we cannot wait to spend time together. After a week of some yucky viral stuff, everyone is feeling so much better today. Praise! Our land is getting green--new … [Read more...]
enough
The past five months have stretched me more than anything ever has in my life. When the Lord began to take us on a journey of pruning last spring, He took away so many things that we held onto. He called us to lay the dreams on our hearts upon the altar—things we yearned for and things we would’ve done anything to see come to fruition. He called us to take our greatest desires and every passion … [Read more...]
abiding
It's been one of those weeks. The kind when you realize once again that you really haven't totally figured out that whole "Abide in Me" thing. I am such a work in progress!I started packing up our house last week only to find out a few days later that we won't be moving after all. We discovered some major structural issues in the house that we were hoping to buy. The … [Read more...]
we cannot find the words
It's not very often that you will find either me or Anthony speechless. We're those wordy kind of people. Truth be told, we probably talk a little too much--especially when it comes to things that we're passionate about (sorry, Scott and Sadie--NO clue how you edited 45 minutes of Salem rambling!). We have been so ridiculously blessed over the past two days. Not only were we given an awesome … [Read more...]
humbled, speechless, and completely blown away!
Nine months ago I shared my heart in a blog post that I titled “Faith Must Get Uncomfortable.” I remember writing that post like it was yesterday. We had gathered the essentials that we needed from our mountain home, packed a few belongings in a rented truck, said goodbye to precious friends, and headed down to a much lower altitude because one sweet little blessing in the family simply could … [Read more...]
a time for everything
I confess. This adoption has been the hardest for me yet. To say that I am absolutely aching to make the first trip to see our children is an understatement. Sadly though, there has been no update and as far as we know, we are still just waiting on one piece of paperwork to be signed. As soon as that is done, I should be able to travel fairly quickly. This wait is … [Read more...]
where my treasure is
What a few days it has been! Last Wednesday I stood in my home, looking around at our belongings. The time had come to get our family to a place of safety with the horrible fires in our area. I walked from one end of the house to the other, and back again. What to take? What to leave? I grabbed our important paperwork and our photo albums, together with enough … [Read more...]
