I picked up a really good book from the library the other day on parenting teens. I’ve always liked the teachings I hear come from Love and Logic. I first learned about them when I read Danny Silk’s book “Loving Your Kids on Purpose.” Excellent book, by the way. They have a Facebook page, too, … Continue reading Weakness
Have you ever had a cartful of groceries all ready to go and the card thing declined your card? I have. It happened to me just a little bit ago. I was in Evansville and the store wouldn’t take a check. They couldn’t punch numbers in from my husband’s card on their machines. I was … Continue reading This is a test…
I wish my story could have ended like yours. The testimony you put on Facebook when you went to Planned Parenthood or whatever clinic and you just couldn’t. How so many years later you have a son or you have a daughter who is doing this or is doing that. I wish I could tell … Continue reading No Longer Silent
It is my heart’s desire to dive into the deep secrets of God. When His Spirit breathes on the word and makes it come alive I, too, am breathed upon and I, too, come alive. Those moments the logos word (written word) becomes the rhema word (living word) in my life are the moments that stir … Continue reading The Deep Secrets of God
My favorite place to study the bible online is at http://www.blueletterbible.com. I went there today and read the daily scripture reading. “A bruised reed He will not break.” There was a devotional that followed that referenced the scripture from Isaiah that Jesus read in the synagogue from Isaiah 61. “The Spirit of the Lord is … Continue reading God Speaks Even Through Sandy Baths
This last week I have been thinking about the rainbow. But not for the reasons why my Facebook newsfeed is filled with them. This post isn’t about that. I’ve been thinking about rainbows; particularly the one that surrounds the throne of God. Revelation 4:3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper … Continue reading Mercy
It’s been really busy around my house lately. We decided to keep two of the kids we had for an emergency placement. Six kids have me hopping around here. It’s been hard to get in the word. It’s been hard finding time to pray. I’ve been trying to meet everyone’s needs to the best of … Continue reading What’s your love temperature?
Sometimes the realness of a broken world hits you harder at times than others. Sometimes we see but we don’t really see. Sometimes we hear but we don’t always hear. Sometimes it just takes a moment listening to a child to really get it. There are seven kiddos in my house this week. It’s really not been … Continue reading Just Like a TV Family
We’re still in our first month of fostering. We’re newbies. My heart breaks and yet comes alive as I love on the kids that come through our doors. We currently have one foster daughter living with us and I just got back from meeting a DCS worker to pick up a sibling group as an emergency … Continue reading Foster Newbies
We bought this old house about 3 years ago. When we were looking for homes to buy with our real estate, I requested that this one be the first of the day since we probably wouldn’t like it judging from the pictures. Everything was BLUE. The carpet was blue, the walls were blue, the … Continue reading House Projects-a $20 Kitchen Backsplash
