Christmas Traditions
Christmas is by far my favorite holiday of the year. I view Christmas as if Jesus had not been born we couldn’t have Easter and the celebration of His death and resurrection. To me they go together. I wanted to share some of our Christmas traditions with you.

In Sickness
“You are my best friend, and the one I want to spend my life with. I will be here to listen to you, laugh with you, and hold you. I will be here to encourage you and strengthen you as we build our life together. I promise to be your best friend, your love, and [...]
34 Years, 4 Months
To give you a brief synopsis. Mid-June I was walking down the hall at work and started have pain in my left foot. It wasn’t bad enough to give much thought to I would just limp every now and then. The next morning I woke and the pain was worse and when I tried to [...]
Six Bloggers, 1000’s of Lives Touched
My first experience with Compassion Intl. was when I was in highschool. Our family sponsored a young girl in Haiti. Now my relationship with them is more personal. It is my husband and I who are sponsoring our own child, Nikita. I can’t express how blessed I am to have her in our lives half [...]
An Amazing Realization
This was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while. Saturday I cleaned upstairs (minus the vacuuming and dusting, which I think that dusting up there may require a vacuum **gasp**), had a date night with my awesome husband, and Sunday was lazy and then church which can be hectic. But [...]
Hard. Dry. Cracked. Breaking.
I think that we often don’t realize we are hard-hearted till it’s too late. We just go through life and our hearts grow harder and dryer. When we finally do realize that we’ve become as hard, dry, cracked as the floor of a drought ridden land it takes some major, slow watering to rejuvenate our [...]
A Saint’s Faith
Yesterday we had a family memorial service for my husband’s grandma who passed away this Spring. I listened as my family told of the impact that she had on their lives. From her giving her blessing for marriage to one of my sisters-in-law before she and my brother-in-law were even dating to my husband and [...]
Featured on Flowerdust.net
In April my husband turned me onto Anne Jackson’s blog, Flowerdust. I instantly fell in love with her. She is a phenomenal woman and has a passion for God and people. She inspires me as a speaker, writer, etc. Brad Ruggles made over her site and it premiered tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to see [...]
I'm NOT Starving
Yesterday, for the second day in a row, my wonderful husband worked a 12 hour shift. This isn’t normal for him but the pastor of the church he works at is on a deadline to get his latest book to print and Shawn needed to get some time with him for the graphic design [...]
A Foot Ahead
I found out today that I have a longitudinal peroneal tendon tear in my left foot. That means that instead of being torn like if you pull a rope it would snap in two, with my condition the strands of the tendon separate from the other strands. I’ve been having pain since the end of [...]
