Water has been a fairly constant presence in our marriage, from living in our first home together on Waterview and then moving to the Dominican Republic and Mexico, where we were within walking distance and/or sight of water. Now even living in land-locked Colorado, God somehow managed to gift us with this amazing piece of… Continue reading Father Goose

New Mercies Monday: My Mama
“I don’t think you realize how close you were [to dying]…” my mom’s physician said to her, several times, in the past few weeks. And every time she relayed his words to me this past week, I remembered the not-so-distant memory of the heaviness that weighed on me so many times in the previous weeks… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: My Mama
New Mercies Monday: the Glory of God
It’s been so long since I’ve taken the time to stop and record the goodness of the Lord through this here bloggy blog. I have so many things to say! So many things running through my mind but very little time to SIT. You’d think a world-wide pandemic that forces us all to stay at… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: the Glory of God
New Mercies Monday: 10 Years
Y’all. Brian and I have officially been married a decade!! Fireworks, please!!!! We celebrated the big 10 on August 8. Wow. As some of you know, it was my dream to have a 10 year anniversary celebration party and invite all of you but, alas, my plans are often not the Lord’s! Besides the fact… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: 10 Years
New Mercies Monday: Laughter
“Our God does not intend His people to be shipwrecked. However, we would be shipwrecked and lost if we could not be held fast in the hour of temptation…He bought you at too great a price and values you too much to see you broken to pieces on the rocks. Therefore, He has provided a… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: Laughter
New Mercies Monday: Receipts & a Penny Horse
I am constantly trying to see the Lord in all that I do in a day. He teaches us all the time, and I don’t want to miss a lesson from Him. So, so often I understand His character through watching my children and taking note of the way my heart, as their mother, responds… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: Receipts & a Penny Horse
New Mercies Monday
When I shut down my facebook account over a year ago now, I made a mental note to blog more often. And well, that didn’t really happen :). My zeal for writing and recording in this virtual scrapbook here has somewhat windled down to birthdays and holidays. Most of that, quite honestly, is that I’m… Continue reading New Mercies Monday
Love Comes From God
There I was…on the bathroom floor…desperate for my son’s heart to change. We had just had 20 minutes that made me want to clench my fists and jump up and down and throw an honest-to-goodness 2 year old tantrum. I have been praying more than ever lately for my children to have wisdom (more on… Continue reading Love Comes From God
Scripture Summer!
I’ll never forget the moment that, after weeks of battling the same problem with Elliott, I had a massive revelation. “The Scripture doesn’t say that my parenting techniques will not come back void…it says, ‘The WORD will not come back void.’” (Isaiah 55:11) I don’t know how I got two years into the whole parenting… Continue reading Scripture Summer!
Life, Loss and Celebration
I have always been that person who has wanted to wait until it was “safe” to tell people about our pregnancies. I will tell the very, very closest, those safest to my heart right away, but I will wait to tell the rest. I have called this “my safety zone.” I’ve never been a big… Continue reading Life, Loss and Celebration
