The LORD IS my Shepherd. David begins Psalm 23 with a comforting fact….And everything else he says after this, hinges upon that fact. Is the LORD leading you today? Who is your shepherd? I shall not want. David believes that because he is led by God Himself, he will not lack anything he needs. Do…

I had a tiny little lightbulb go off today as I was eagerly replacing my welcome porch sign from the “Hello Fall” message to the “Merry Christmas” sign. As I was swapping the signs, I had a rush of thoughts: “It doesn’t feel like Christmas. I’m still wearing a short sleeve shirt.” “Why hasn’t the…

I’ve always loved the outdoors, and recently wondered….why is it just so peaceful to be outdoors? Why is there no place like being deep in the woods among the trees, or at the beach watching the waves? I think I have a better picture of why…. Being out in nature is the physical, direct display…

Ever taken a road trip? The excitement of adventure is in the air.

As I sit here typing these words, Evelyn is behind me, at the table, doing a worksheet. I told her if she needed help, just let me know and I would come right over. It’s been a while since I posted here, so I wasn’t even sure what I was going to do when I…

What. An. Adventure! I gave up roller coasters in my 20s, but motherhood is one ride I don’t ever want to get off of! The things I’ve learned (and continue to learn) are so invaluable and have been such an answer to the prayer that I asked of God to not just use me to…

I can remember vividly the day I left the hospital not long after having Evey. Questions, some being extremely irrational, raced through my mind as I tried to fathom the fact that she would be left in the NICU with no time frame given of when we could take her home. Why, God? We’ve waited…
