This past Monday, the 10th of July, was the birthday of our one and only! I can hardly believe he is now thirty-two years old! Wasn't it just yesterday Brian and I brought him home from the hospital?

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!
Every morning as I sit in my bathroom drying my hair, brushing my teeth, putting on my face moisturizer and going through all my other morning rituals, I find myself talking to the Lord about lots of different things. Usually I spend the time praying for others or praising the Lord for recent blessings. However,
Suitcases, Backpacks and Duffel Bags!
I'd like to say "straight up" that in no way is this post written for pity's sake, self-promotion or any such thing. I'm just stating facts and praying it will be an encouragement to someone else who may be walking down the same pathway. If you have lived with a chronic illness for any length of
Bitter or Better?
We all have some very special days throughout each year that have personal significance in our life.

I love the TRUTH of the phrase, "Bloom Where You're Planted", and all the various opportunities in which to bloom for the Lord!

It Is Well With My Soul, Or Is It?
This post may appear mixed up and a bit confusing, but I wanted to share how the Lord, at times, totally interrupts and changes what I am writing! That's how I know it's ALL THE LORD and none of me, which makes me so very thankful! The picture below is a plaque which sets on
