10.11.2021 – “Write every day down…”

October 11, 2021

I love these lines from a song by Jason Upton, “A lifetime can pass byAnd if we don’t watch itWe’ll miss all that it has to sayWrite every day down…” Every day—every “word, every page“ is worth… “writing down”… Because in Christ, our hope, our trust is in Him. And the pages of our “redemption… Read More 10.11.2021 – “Write every day down…”

10.5.2021 – In Over My Head

October 5, 2021

For most of my life, in many ways, I’ve felt that I was “in over my head”… Most things don’t come ‘easy’ for me. I didn’t do so well in school. I wasn’t well suited for Speech or Debate class. I do not consider myself to be sharp, or intellectual… I don’t typically “think fast”…as… Read More 10.5.2021 – In Over My Head

9.3.2021 – “I’ve already taken care of it.”

September 3, 2021

Yesterday we had an opportunity to hike to a secluded, century-old cabin for a photo assignment. This cabin was part of a once-thriving community, and it was “one of the few structures that withstood the devastating 1916 flood.” Only accessible by foot, the hike was around 10-11 miles—unlike any kind of hike we had ever… Read More 9.3.2021 – “I’ve already taken care of it.”

8.27.2021 – The Beauty of Restoration

August 27, 2021

We live in a house that was originally built back in the 1920s, I believe. It’s been modified multiple times over the years. In the last phase of the renovations the previous owners gave it more of a “contemporary” makeover. We were told there were no hardwoods under the carpet, but lo and behold, we… Read More 8.27.2021 – The Beauty of Restoration

Breaking Silence

June 26, 2021

Sometimes when we go through something… …and we don’t necessarily see it happening to anyone else around us (at least that we can see or pick up on)… we can believe that we’re the “only ones in the WHOLE world going through it”… And it’s easy to get ALL wrapped up in what we’re going… Read More Breaking Silence

Have you ever discovered a “dream in your heart”… and it seems near impossible as you look at yourself or your current situation? It seems unlikely?

It’s been 8 years since I first dared to ask the Lord if He would heal me… I’ve dealt with an autoimmune condition since I was 11 years old.

May 1, 2021

I love the way God speaks to me in “my language”… 🌷📸 🌈 And I love the way God leads us into His language, His Word, and then He “speaks” it to us in our language—He makes it real to us in a way that we can understand and receive. ☀️ The way He “meets”… Read More He Speaks Our “Language” and Teaches us His
