September 3, 2020 will live in my mind as the moment I think children around the world, at least my world understood the true definition of courage. That day courage looked like letting go of our children’s hands, fighting back the tears of the grief of the loss of a normal first day of school […]
Peace be Still
Mark 4:39 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace,[a] be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. I was sitting in my office tonight ready to sew and these words came to my heart. “Peace, be still.” As I finish off the summer, I feel that as mommas especially […]
Musings of a Life During a Pandemic
I’ve spent exactly one and a half hours pursuing the internet. “For what?” you may ask. Absolutely nothing but avoiding writing. All the while knowing that is what I should be doing. When I am not writing, I am thinking about how I should be writing. Thoughts wonder through my mind at a speed I, […]
Suddenly “Homeschooling”
Well, yesterday at 4:35, my world as I knew it changed. If you are reading this, I think you are in the same boat. I have heard so many different takes on this in the last 12 hours. Some people happy, “more time with my kids!” to “now where do my kids go while I […]

When life doesn’t go as Intended…..
Well, it’s taken me about two months to get to the place where I could share this word. Mainly because I wasn’t sure I wanted to go down this road. I feel like typing this out is a big commitment to myself to follow through with being more intentional in my life. So without further […]
Thick Skin
Photo: www.canadianfamily.ca *This post was written back in September. But it’s as true today as it was that cool fall morning. Thick skin, but a soft heart. It’s funny how life changes in the blink of an eye. Changes you never expect. Points of view revealed that you never realized before. […]
Mothering
It’s funny how quick life moves when you are in the thick of it, yet how slow it can seem some days. Is it even lunch yet? I often thought as a new Mom. The days just trickled by. Lazy walks through the mall, or the snow or the fresh spring sidewalks filled my […]
The Woman with the Issue….
The Woman with the issue…. Today I had the loveliest one hour and fifty-three minute conversation with one of my oldest and dearest friends. We always pick up where we left off. The fact that I don’t know how she takes her coffee at this season of life, nor does she of me doesn’t effect […]
It all started in a Stable…
Ephesians 4: 17-27 17 With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. 18 Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. 19 They have no sense of shame. They […]
