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
Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, we are using Rachel…… Continue reading joy in the everyday ~ psalm 30:5
You may notice that I quoted this verse in my first post, welcome. Isn’t it a wonderful thought? We do not need to go it alone. The God of all creation cares for us and will guide us if only we would look to Him. Psalm 119:105 tells us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet…… Continue reading joy in the everyday ~ psalm 16:11

I know in my heart that every storm cloud of life has…… Continue reading may all your weeds be wildflowers

I made this particular graphic in Affinity Designer. The background is a free watercolour that I downloaded a while ago; I believe…… Continue reading joy in the everyday ~ psalm 4:7
We finished up our ladies’ Bible study on Beth Moore’s David: Seeking a Heart Like His. If you’ve never done a Beth Moore study, I would highly recommend it. She has a wonderful, engaging way of digging into God’s Word. Her video segments are energetic, heart-felt and relatable. You could just watch the videos and you…… Continue reading heart abandoned
As mentioned in another post, I’m going through the Psalms with my kids in our morning Bible time. We’ve been spending several days on Psalm 119 (it’s a loonngg one!) and today’s reading really struck home on many levels. I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD! I will keep Your statutes. I cry…… Continue reading revive me

We were able to arrange to go a little early in order have the weekend with her before the…… Continue reading the heavens declare His glory
