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. Needless to say, she’s worn out. Done. We’ve learned that the owner of our home is wanting to sell. The good news…… Continue reading ’tis so sweet to trust in jesus
If you been reading here for any length of time, you know that some of our family lives twenty plus hours away and we usually only see them once or twice a year. This is often hard on my momma-heart. 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

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
As Easter approaches, I’ve been meditating on the completed work of Christ as He took my sin upon Himself on the cross. As such, I’ve been reading some older posts and thought I would re-share them with you. This was first posted March, 2016. This photo was taken at the Billy Graham Library I have a…… Continue reading it is finished
If you remember, we left off at the climax of our ‘Jonah experience.’ If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you may want to read part one and two first. Jungle Gardens, Avery Island, Louisiana Back on dry ground, we ventured the two thousand miles to ‘Nineveh’ (Nova Scotia) for a six-week trial period.…… Continue reading a page from our story: senior management to full-time ministry (part three)
Recently, I was asked how we came to the east coast to church plant. Short story: God called us. Longer story: God called us, we resisted, God continued to call us, we finally listened and obeyed. Full story: My Love, who holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business (Western University), was in…… Continue reading a page from our story: senior management to full-time ministry (part one)
Last time, I mentioned I have advent calendars on my brain. I admit we often resort to the cheesy foil wrapped countdowns, though we have had Playmobil, Lego, Lindor Chocolate and Body Shop (that one was a treat for me) calendars in the past. Even the cheap-o ones can be fun, especially when they’re Star…… Continue reading all in my head: advent reading plans
