I am easily distracted. I started this blog hours ago. I wasn’t sure where to begin so I decided to go find a photo. I found a beautiful photo taken by my beautiful 12 year old daughter. Then I have 3 kids standing around me asking me about the process or asking me if they [...]

Kindness Leads to Repentance

I woke up with a song already playing in my head, “How You Forgive Me”. It’s on the Enter the Worship Circle: Third Circle album. I searched Youtube for the song, but could only find the cover.  My friend,  Rebecca, and I were talking about  our thoughts about raising our children. I have been taking [...]

Love

  John talks a lot about love. A concept I’m not quite confident in. I often wonder if I’m loved and I know I’m not great at showing love, especially toward my children when they have disobeyed. I wonder if my kids know they are loved. Like truly and confidently, come hell or high water [...]

Life These Days

Finals are over. I hope I did well. I celebrated by sitting around in my sweats for an hour or so after the kids went to school. I watched the Charlie Brown Christmas special, played several rounds of Angry Birds, and had a brownie for breakfast. Then I took a shower, got dressed, did my [...]

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

About 10 years or so ago I would listen to Elisabeth Elliot on the radio. She would always say, “You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are the everlasting arms.” The NAS Bible Version says in Deuteronomy 33:27, “The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” I want [...]

Love & Dying

I am thinking a lot about LOVE today. No, not love. Not you and me kind of love. I’m thinking of even a bigger LOVE. As in God is LOVE. That’s what the Bible says and I say I believe the Bible. Yet somehow I don’t believe that He really loves me like He says [...]

Who am I?

The wind whistles loudly this morning. I wake up feeling subdued, almost sad, but not quite. I have had a good weekend. I have had a good week. That’s strange to say. My week has been full of up and downs. Fears have been fiercely knocking at my door. Fear of being left alone, left [...]

A Glimpse Into My Journal

My life is a whirlwind, as usual. I sit down at the computer to write some part of my life to share with the world. A friend recently teased me about my Facebook updates from the hospital. He asked, “Do you really want 423 of your friends to know that you’re having trouble peeing?” All [...]

Forgiveness

I want to say forgiveness is a magical thing, but that doesn’t quite describe it. When I say magical, I think of an Aslan kind of magic not a Harry Potter kind of magic. It is miraculous. How do we truly forgive? Do we just say it and fight for it? Is it a feeling? [...]
