We had our house built almost 12 years ago. After what felt like a long wait for us to finally move in, we arrived and a new tree had been planted in the front yard. It was tiny. It was young. But, it was alive and growing. As the years…

Today was the last “first day of school” our family will have in elementary school. My son is in fourth grade and school started today. I asked him if he still wanted me to walk him to his class and was pleasantly surprised when he said “yes”. As we walked…

So, we’re back from vacation and I finally get to read my “real” Bible. I decided we had so little room for a week’s vacation that I would just use my Bible app on my phone. It obviously worked fine and I was able to cross-reference a few verses to…

This weekend was very fun for me. You see, I love to organize. My husband had some boxes and plastic bins they were throwing out at the office. He brought them home for me and said, “I figured you would want these”. Boy, was he right! I was so excited…

I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in the Lord, lovingkindness shall surround him. Be…
