I really like these flowers.   I love the lush, green vine dotted with the delicate flowers.  I love the tall, stately, bright sun flowers that rest right below.  I drive past them every day. They are my ‘adios’ every morning and my ‘welcome home’ every evening. If you look carefully at the photo, you’ll notice that the flowers

Joshua and Caleb. They are my two favorite Bible characters (no joke, I even named my children after them). My ears perk up and I sit up a little taller in my pew when their names are mentioned…I’m like a proud mama. Joshua’s leadership, Caleb’s feisty spirit. Put them together, they define courage. You’ve probably

I need one of these: Not for a room.  But for me. I told my husband the other day that I felt like I was drowning and I wasn’t anywhere near water.  That’s just how my life was feeling.  I was completely maxed out. Being short-staffed at work.  The usual responsibilities at home.  New responsibilities

Yesterday I was blessed to receive bright pink roses. They were beautiful and breathtaking. However, I had not gone home immediately after receiving them. In fact, the flowers had to sit in my warm car for a few hours until the celebrations of the day finally drew to a close. By the time we arrived

My three-year-old son just recently got into the habit of saying, “It’s not fair!” I thought to myself, “He’s only three, and it’s just begun…”  You know, the back-and-forth, “she got that, he got this, why didn’t I get those shoes, why didn’t she need to clean up like I did…” cycle. His big sister

Throughout the years, I admired both my mom and my husband’s mom as I watched them do it all.  From cooking fresh meals daily (yes, you read correctly!) and raising a family to working as a full-time nurse, they both fit the description of SuperMom. But of all those things, what has left the deepest impression

https://youtu.be/ejs0NQEhdnk Catchy tune, isn’t it? When my kids were in pre-school, they used to sing some variation of this song. It was an earworm that I would have for days. And just when I would get rid of it, one of them would start singing it again.  Grrr… They had all kinds of songs like this-

Have you had a door close in your life recently? Or maybe even slam shut? Don’t take it personally. On second thought…if You are a believer, asking God for His will to be done, maybe you should take it personally. In 1 Samuel 29, David is on the run from King Saul. He is tired

There has been one time in history when being late was super cool…and it involved Jesus and a guy named Lazarus.  You can read the story for yourself in John 11.  (I guess, technically, Jesus wasn’t really late because it was all part of the plan anyway…but you get my point.) Other than that –

Recently something a friend shared led me on a stroll down memory lane.  There I was … in my car … crying. “Lord, I can’t take any more bad news.” Every difficult situation I had encountered up until that day was dealt with the same way: going from a state of shock and disbelief to
