Spring has sprung. Well, it will. Soon. I hope. While I enjoy most seasons in varying degrees (hehe…pun not intended), spring just makes my heart smile. I bask in the feeling of the warm spring sun juxtaposed with the still-chilly spring air. I excitedly anticipate the first plucky crocuses bursting forth with vibrant colour from…… Continue reading promise within a tiny seed
Do you ever feel disconnected? There, but not there? Present but not engaged? Truthfully, this is not a new feeling for me on many levels. I find myself going about my day without much consideration for Jesus. Oh, I may pray and read and work on my Bible study, ask Him to help me figure…… Continue reading behold jesus
Some days are just hard. On this particular day, it was the anniversary of my dad’s passing. I went about my business as per usual and even had some much appreciated time with a couple of my sweet grandlittles, playing games and crafting. Then, as I prepared dinner, my love gently informed me of a friend’s…… Continue reading the gift of grace
We just had the privilege of attending Paul Baloche’s Christmas Concert. It was such a wonderful evening, praising God and celebrating our wonderful Saviour. They did a fantastic job of blending traditional Christmas music with contemporary Christian music in a fun and interactive way.

Sometimes you just feel done. Know what I’m sayin’? My cb girl’s family has gone from one illness to another for what seems like months. This included a scary bout with their newborn.

We recently made a trip to visit friends and family and, best of all, to…… Continue reading pure joy
It’s that most wonderful time of the year again! And so begins the countdown. With chocolate? …Perhaps. With the Word? …Definitely! Through the years, I’ve done an advent-type study with the kids in our morning homeschool devotion time (see here). Alas, this year I have no littles, no big kids–no one–to do school with. I…… Continue reading advent
If you’ve been around from the beginning, you know this blog was borne through many sleepless nights. I had a time where I just could not sleep and thought that writing out some of the stuff swirling about in my head might help. The sleepless nights come and go now, but I’ve had a few…… Continue reading testimony and trepidation
This year I will come to a life crossroad. In a couple of ways, this is true. This will be the final year of homeschooling my crew of six over a crazy 28 years! Also, as our church plant blossoms into an independent, thriving entity, my part in it is changing, too. In the early…… Continue reading fulfilled
Wishing all of my Canadian friends a Happy Thanksgiving! I’m sitting here enjoying the aroma of roasting turkey and anticipating a lovely dinner with family and friends who are family. Pumpkin trifle is awaiting final touches and I am relaxing until last minute work must be addressed. Admittedly, the last couple of years have not…… Continue reading give thanks
