Our two week trip to Germany could never be captured into one blog post. Our trip may, however, be captured in a blog post a day for two weeks. I thought it would be fun to focus 14 posts in a row on our special trip, as well as 14 different pictures. This is also a great way for me to stretch my writing muscles as they have been super dormant lately. Our journey started off pretty rough. We realized…
Here we are bringing our baby tree home. It’s definitely real! It’s the cutest thing ever. My man stringing the lights. I believe it was a box of 50. Ornaments! My job. I loved going through them this year. Each one really means something special to me. Such a pretty, happy tree. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
My Dad has a check-up with his heart surgeon every year around November. The nerves always kick in with full-fledged anxiety in the mix. There’s always that chance that the reports will come back with Dad needing another heart surgery. Last year I shed tears and didn’t handle the pending appointment so well. This year God really put His peace in my heart as we anticipated what the results would show. Last year I was shopping in the cheese aisle…
Today is one of those days. It actually started last night. Got some disturbing (to say the least) news over the phone about someone I really, really care about. About someone I love. As I tossed and turned in the night, my prayers for this person were my waking thoughts. I’m glad God can make perfect sense out of those twisted, half-awake prayers. But before I even went to sleep I received another disturbing text from a friend whose Granddad…
It had been a year and five months since the whole side of my immediate family had been together until last weekend. Our previous gathering was Chuck and I’s wedding, and since then another family member has been added. Meet Rocky, or rather Rockford Glenn. He is just the sweetest, chubbiest little guy you will ever meet. Much bigger then his brother was at seven months. Our destination was a house in Western VA that belongs to Chuck’s side of…
Several years ago Chuck began quite a search. He had already graduated from college, and was working a job in his field. He began to feel restless and knew that God was leading him to something else, but he just didn’t know what. The story that I’m about to tell came about because of this very search. Early last week, my sweet husband surprised me by saying we were going OUT on Friday night, on a date. Normally we like…
There are just times when I know God is subtly speaking to my heart. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment this started, but I know when the realization of God’s prompting came alive recently. A leadership group of teens from our youth group meet twice a month on Sunday nights. On this particular night, the teens were instructed to pick anyone in the room and ask that person a question from one of four areas of spiritual growth. Prayer Life…
has a blog. I am ecstatic! =) http://blog.lproof.org/
I wrote in my personal journal this morning how grateful I am that I’m NOT going back to school today. It’s true. I feel anxiety just imagining the thought of going back to school again. If you’re reading this, you probably already know that I have hated school for my whole entire life. It must have started in Kindergarten when my oldest brother left me in the hallway all alone, scared, and having no idea where to go or what…
Amber sent us a gift card to Friday’s for our anniversary earlier this summer. We went back to thee very Friday’s where we met for the very first time less then two years ago. Who knew we’d be married, living just a few miles away, only a few months later in life? I still have a hard time believing it’s true. Thank you God! Happy and blessed. Where it all began. Not our original table, but it worked. We try…
