Life is Hard, But God is Good...

After 15 years of saying goodbye, one would think it would get easier. I am so very thankful for this time with my parents and the adventures we have had together these last 9 days. I’m so thankful for amazing parents & an amazing family. But, the saying goodbye? It’s really not fun. But, I will press on and be faithful to the call that Jesus has placed on my life. Look forward with joy & thanksgiving. Without regret.

Thank you, Jesus, for the blessing of family....

She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships, even with my...

The B-I-B-L-E Yes That's the Book For Me!

The sounds that followed ripped me to the core..."Awww!" "Do we have to?" "I don't like reading the Bible!" I wanted to scream in anger about how they never seem to make those sounds when we sit down to watch a movie, but I didn't, I just started reading. Zeke was the only one scrambling to get to my lap and hear the story. Afterwards, I let the kids go play and I just sat in the Popasan chair feeling dejected, like a terrible mother. "Lord, you promised to pour out your Spirit on my children! What is happening? I am failing you...failing them! You have to do something" I brought them all back into the sun room for a light lecture. Haha...yeah, if that's possible! "Guys, I have one main job as a mother and that is to teach you the Word of God....
