"It's Amazing What a Prayer Can Do." This is a line from one of my favorite songs and a truth I have witnessed over and over again. Another lyric from a different song says, "When I can see no way, He makes a way." These thoughts reflect my heart full of praise for a recent … Continue reading Amazing

Longsuffering
II Peter 3:9 Sunday was Little Bit's Birthday!! We didn't have a huge party this year, but it was still a very exciting and exhausting day for a seven-year-old: two church services, all the presents, all the cake, all the playing... So, Monday morning was not so exciting. The tired Birthday Princess definitely woke up … Continue reading Longsuffering
Displaced, Part Two
After thinking about how Jesus was displaced in the most extreme ways, I went on to ponder how I should follow His example... First, I can remember that this world is not my home. "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:" II Corinthians 5:2 … Continue reading Displaced, Part Two

It won't be long until she heads off to school, and I … Continue reading When Mama Ain’t Looking
Beyond the List
Little Bit and I are all about checklists. It's not like I set out to turn her into a list maker, but it's how I function, and she's picked up the habit. Here's a list of some of the lists I make: grocery list shopping list (non-grocery) monthly calendar weekly to-do list songs to practice … Continue reading Beyond the List
Rest For My Soul
Some people can sleep just a few hours per night and wake up fresh as a daisy, ready to face the day. I am not one of those people. At all. I've tried to be. I want to be able to stay up late, get up early, and get a lot done, but it backfires … Continue reading Rest For My Soul
