We had a really rough week this week. It’s not all things that I can share but it wasn’t fun. I spent a lot of time praying and asking God to please just help me to rest in his sovereignty and be peaceful. I do have a tendency to freak out and fall apart before [...]
I have considerable training in Biblical counseling, but I do not claim to be an expert. Going through a mess has given me eyes I didn’t have before. Someone asked me years ago, “What about my friend in a bad marriage? What would you say to her? What should I do?” I’ve thought about it [...]
I’m honored that someone nominated me as Best Encourager blog in the Homeschool Blog Awards. Thank you. So, now I need you to vote for me pretty please. It’s painless and just takes a moment. Go here to vote.
**My sister wrote a post on our Selling Sisters blog that references this great movie. I thought about this post and reread it. It made me cry again. I’m so thankful for all those who helped me to keep going and not quit.** On Sunday night at church, we watched Facing the Giants. I had [...]
Over the past few days, I’ve heard things that encouraged me. They also moved me to tears. I still hate that! When my sister in law called to see what was going on with Lee, she said, “You’ve been strong for so long.” Funny how a simple little sentence caused tears to gather in my [...]
I love being blessed and noticing all the big and little things God does for us. I’m so thankful for the teaching when I was in college to pay attention to what God does in my life. My mom was good at teaching that too. After I posted the blessings on Monday, we continued to [...]
God loves to talk to little boys while they’re fishing. That seems to be the time boys listen best. It’s the only quiet time there is for wishing. It’s the only time when God and boys can rest. “You know a boy can almost hear God whisper sometimes out here fishing. I wonder if he’s [...]
It’s going pretty well. Other than James having a million ideas to do with Dad and James’ 2 parents being very tired from all this, we’re doing fine. Fishing started bright and early today. They had a blast. Lee taught James a better way to cast and we all exclaimed over the big fish jumping [...]
Thank you for praying for us and being excited with us. Lee and I went to the appointment this morning. I sat waiting for the other shoe to drop. Then he said, “Well, I think you should go see your boy right now.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We agreed. Lee and I went to get James at our [...]
Well, today is the day. I appreciate all your prayers. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning and at the same time, I feel a little sick to my stomach! We were able to change the appointment to 2 hours earlier so if all goes well Lee and James will get to see each [...]
