There is no greater name than Jesus! He is healer. He is loving. He is King! Just a few of the words this beautiful book uses to honor our glorious Savior. Recently I’ve been wondering if I reflect the love of Jesus to my children. Chuck and I are responsible to tell our babes about the One True God, and we deeply desire for them to know Him personally. I couldn’t wait to show Jase (who just turned two) this…
I am borrowing this concept and title from my writing group. We use the “Feedback Corner” to have other people read and critique our work, but today I have a little bit of a different purpose in mind. I know I already mentioned the Beth Moore simulcast I “attended” a few weeks ago, and how powerful it was (and still is!) in my life. One thing has really stuck with me though, and given me an awful lot to think about. Since I…
Whoa. My heart is racing. A couple days ago I found out about a program through LifeWay and B&H Publishing for bloggers and readers. I ecstatically applied and could not sleep that night over the anticipation. A little backstory. Less than 2 weeks ago I attended a Beth Moore simulcast in Lancaster. I thought it was something I was dying to do, but less than five minutes in, I knew Jesus was the one who wanted me there. It was a life…
Sometimes a post just begs to be written. Take it or leave it, but I just had to get this out there. For the last couple of days, my kids have been sick. I’ve navigated new waters, and have stepped into the sea of crazy as I care for two kids with fevers and congestion. Jase’s fever has been going on longer than Basye’s. Whenever he has a fever, I am on edge. He has a history of febrile seizures,…
Very recently Chuck said, “I wonder when I’ll get a motorcycle?” I had to laugh to myself in wonder that he actually believes he’ll get one someday. So I said (ever the realist), “I wonder when I’ll get a brand new wardrobe?” We chuckled at ourselves and our vain little dreams. But then I shared in sincerity that it was my dream to get my own laptop so I could write, blog, and keep up with the pictures I take…
In a few days my baby boy will be turning 2. Sniff sniff. 2 just sounds so incredibly old. We are entering a totally new era here. This boy of mine brings such joy to my heart each and every day. He makes me laugh quite often, and I would probably laugh more if I could spend less time getting angry. 😉 Jase runs on maximum capacity at.all.times. He is smart. He is intelligent. He is fearless. He is brave….
There’s been a lot of chatter on our part about this housing process we are going through. (Mostly via Facebook.) To be clear, God has provided us with a house that we love. After MONTHS upon MONTHS of searching, HOURS upon HOURS of looking houses up online, and COUNTLESS discussions with Chuck, we both finally landed on the same house. Lest you forget, we did put offers in on two different homes, but they both fell through. We’re hoping the…
Well I’m sad to say our laptop has died. Chuck has been working on it for weeks, but it continues to struggle. I can’t blog from my phone, but Chuck brought home an iPad from work so here we are. I have to say, if given the opportunity, I would not purchase an iPad. Regardless, I am thankful for the one I am able to use! This post will be short. Jase is at a phase that if I’m talking…
Tonight Chuck took Basye to a youth event because a student offered to watch her for me. It’s amazing how taking care of one baby at home feels like a breeze. Why did I ever think having one baby was hard?! Jase is currently “down” but who knows when he’ll actually fall asleep. He is currently in his crib surrounded by a slew of stuffed animals, a blanket, a tractor, a baby toy he stole from his sister, and of…
Last summer, the highlight for me was a Bible study I did through Beth Moore’s blog. She hosts a Bible study every summer through her blog, and it’s an amazing resource. This year I am going to do one again with some of the same girls, and a few new ones. We will be going through Kelly Minter’s book, “What Love Is”. The cool thing is, there will be a free video posted every Tuesday! I know Kelly’s family from…
