How do ten months disappear into oblivion, never to be seen again? I remember as a child just cringing when my parents would say, time flies. When you’re eight years old and enduring summer vacation, time seems to crawl by at a snails pace! Now as an adult I pray for the privilege of being bored! Just one day of… Read More
(Note: I was working on this post last weekend but the news of my brother-in-law’s sudden cardiac arrest changed everything. As he clings to life our family clings to hope in God and we still covet your prayers.) I’m born and bred Southern, y’all. And I actually use the word y’all in everyday language. All.the.time. But somehow along the way I… Read More
This is a sweet, sweet song that’s new to me. As usual I found it when listening to my Ipod, relaxing in the rocking chair that holds memories of babies rocked, books read, with debates and long talks finishing out many a day. There is just a passion in this Bethel Music “We Dance” video that I know I’m sharing it… Read More
Every Sunday for the past two years I have linked up a youtube worship video of some kind, whatever God was laying on my heart that week. My desire is still just to use Sundays as a time of reflection on faith and family. Some Sundays you might find a video here and sometimes it might just be writing about… Read More

I always put way more expectations on myself than God… Read More
Each week in these Simple Gift Sunday posts I try and share a word or inspiration that God has been impressing upon me during the week. Honestly, this week I’m just tired. Not feeling up to par. Run down. So I want to ask you, what is going on in your life right now? What burdens do you need carried?… Read More
The lyrics of this song by Sara Groves “Going Home”, tell the story of longings we may not understand, especially for our adopted children. Of going home, I’ll meet you at the table Going home, I’ll meet you in the air And you are never too young to think about it Oh, I cannot wait to be home Our adopted… Read More
From Mercy Me “Finally Home” is my Simple Gift Sunday selection for this Fourth of July weekend. My youngest two teenagers just arrived home from their mission trip to Charleston and this song is for them. I’m glad to have you back home safe! As a believer in Christ, I walk a path that will eventually lead me home. As… Read More
