Hi there. I hear your house just turned into a school. Welcome. First of all, let’s just acknowledge that this is a difficult thing to do and a difficult time to do it.

TESTIFY
For me, the space between the years, the decades, the past few days has been chaotic. We turned everything upside down to update our kitchen, which left all other chores and responsibilities halted for the week. The New Year came and I wasn’t ready. My washing machine was in my coffee room and my silverwareContinue reading “TESTIFY”
CLEAN
I’m not sure what the obsession with Spring cleaning is. Spring is when we are busting at the seams to get outside and start exploring after feeling cooped up all winter. Spring is when we are preparing for summer adventures and finishing all the year-end schooling STUFF and juggling all the sport schedules. Spring isContinue reading “CLEAN”

PEACE
Around 7 p.m. I answered my portable landline phone resting beside the bathtub, because it was 2004 and I had a portable phone and time to take a bath.

AVAILABLE
God has taken me into a season of deep fellowship with Him. I have written only a little, and been listening a whole lot more. I have been studying His word with some amazing women and I’ve been falling more and more in love with Him along the way. You see, He’s been wanting meContinue reading “AVAILABLE”
#witchinghour
There is a period in the day, which happens after school and before dinner/husband arrival, when otherwise cheerful and attentive mothers present with a twitch and the crazy eye and when children walk about like little monsters on a mission to terrorize tranquility. It’s called the witching hour. The witching hour occurs after the childrenContinue reading “#witchinghour”
