This spoken from a friend Mama whose little girl has CF and is fighting for her life right now. This spoken from Jesus to his Father as he faced death by crucifixion. These are hard words to utter sometimes. Because God's will isn't always what we desire or want. We can't see the whole picture and understand his ways and so life just won't always make sense to us. But the ... Read More »

Okay, so we can't blame everything on our spouses Mother and Father but let's face it - a childhood does impact the future role as wife or husband. If a hubs had a Mom who did everrrry.thing for him then he will have a strong tendency to expect his wife to do everrrrrrry.thing for him as well.

Front Porch Friends
Because of God doing such an amazing healing inside of me I am recovering really well and I feel good generally. And so I've had a lot of visitors this past week.

Small bites of powerful Truth

My heart has been so full once again of the Body of Believers that have come alongside our family to pray, encourage and support during my last surgery a little over a week ago. I can't imagine going ... Read More »

Equipping ourselves through hard times
So in our household right now we're preparing for surgery. I go in at 7:30am Monday, August 22nd to have a large portion of my colon removed. Because I know my propensity to become discouraged if things don't go the way I'm hoping for them to go I purchased myself a gift. Ha! I know - but seriously I think I need this. And no it's not a pair of black shoes contrary to ... Read More »

You will simply love her. I love this book that reminds us God designed us for relationships - with Him and with others. The Armor of God Bible Study by Priscilla Shirer is A+mazing. I've had ...
