Last fall my brother, sister-in-law and I sang this at church. I don’t usually sing in public so it was hard for me, but the words of this song speak so deeply to my heart in this situation.
Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Though […]

I’m always on the look out for great resources for boys. I found this at Homeschool Freebie of the Day.
“Say Fellas! Devotions for Boys” is a free download for today.

Shortly after Lee was released from prison, he asked me for note cards.
I had a pile of them so I gave them to him. I didn’t ask what he needed them for, I figured he was using them for school.
A few weeks ago, I met him for dinner between work and school.  I sat in […]

I believe that praying Scripture can be a powerful way to pray.
Jesus used Scripture when he prayed. Matthew 4:1-11 (temptation in the wilderness)
Prayer is also part of our armor Ephesians 6:12-17. In this passage, there is no hint of failure. Only standing firm if we wear the armor.
When we pray, we pray in the name […]

At James’ swim lessons last week, I saw one of my former employees. Her children are in lessons right after James finishes up. We’ve been chatting each morning.
It’s fun to catch up.
She asked me how things are going. I told her some of it. We talked about whether or not Lee and I will ever […]

When Lee and I were in counseling long ago, the pastor gave us a small booklet called, “How to Handle Trouble” by Jay Adams.
I was cleaning some things out the other day and flipped through it. I summarized the points on the back flap.

God is in the trouble.
God is actively doing something in the trouble.
What […]

As I pray for my husband, I pray that God will make himself evident in his life. I pray that Lee will feel God’s presence and have a desire to learn and grow.
He was reading the Bible and studying quite a bit before, but now he works so much and has school. I know how […]

When I was reading Changed Into His Image, I copied this onto a sheet of paper to put into my Bible.  I’ve been meaning to share it here but things have been a bit crazy lately.
When you are reading a passage the first thing to ask is,
*What does this passage reveal about Jesus Christ?
Think […]

Have you ever been grizzly? (Ok! Not this kind of grizzly but I couldn’t resist.)
That’s what we call whining and complaining.
Lee and I have been struggling with the grizzlies lately. We do not understand why James can’t visit. We don’t know why getting a job has been so difficult. We do not understand why […]

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.
 
The whole chapter was a big blessing to me this morning, especially this verse.
