This Is Where I Am…

I just heard a song that describes my position so well. I’m sure I’ve probably heard it many times before, but just now, I REALLY listened. All too well, I recognize the feeling behind these lyrics. Yes, I’m at another impasse, but I don’t have to stay here. My Lord will help me use this [...]

A Joyful Noise?– *Updated*

Today, the kiddos got to try out their new tin whistles for the first time. They just started their six weeks of music class with Mrs. Donna. Although I’m glad the kids are so excited, I must say, tin whistles aren’t exactly “headache friendly.” This new experience for my children takes me back quite a [...]

Five years…

…Yes, almost five years ago, my son was born, and once again my life was changed forever. Tomorrow is my little Kerry’s birthday. He was born at 10:31 p.m. on September 25th, 2003 (only 25 hours after my water broke!). He had a very rough beginning… ____________________________________ When Kerry was born, he was unresponsive, limp, [...]

Seven Years

…of Sarah Beth! Like my mother-in-law often asks, “Just what did you do before having children?” In a way, I do feel like my life really began after having my kiddos. My children have certainly added such joy and depth to my life…and they have introduced me to a totally different way of living. My [...]

It’s O.k.

Yeah, it’s alright. It’s only the world. ________________________________________ Yesterday, I got a little time to myself.  No hubby, no kids.  No “Mommy, Mommy!“  (I mean, don’t get me wrong, I dearly love my husband and kids, but I could use a break every few months!) After some quality “R and R,”  I  did something I [...]

A Little Rain…

…is necessary and inevitable. Yes, into every life, a little rain must fall. However, we must not get lost in the despair of the storm, but instead look forward in hope for the sunshine that will follow. The rain won’t last forever…the sun will shine again. We cannot feel the peace within the midst of [...]

He’s Just Waiting…

…for us to call out to Him. Whenever I’m frustrated, lonely, weary, or confused, all I have to do is call out to Jesus. When I’m trying to make a decision; looking for direction, and I truly call out to my Lord, He is always there. When I feel as if I’ve got to make [...]

Sing, Walk, Dance, and Pray…

…those silly old blues away! _________________________________________ Tuesday evening, the kids and I went for a walk around the neighborhood and then to the nearby community park. We’ve been sticking close to home the last couple of days, and we haven’t seen much of Scott. He’s been at the hospital with his dad and mom most [...]
