A few months back my kids and I were walking through Deuteronomy and as we read through Deuteronomy 27, it occurred to me that Moses and the Israelites were told to make stone memorials BEFORE they entered the land that the Lord promised them. It made me pause. Today I was listening to a podcastContinue reading “Monuments”

A Generous Life
When we felt lead to move to Virginia so that Nathan could attend law school, we began a new journey of Faith. We prayed and asked God if I should get a job to sustain us during this time. We only heard that I was to homeschool our kids. God clearly wanted us to TrustContinue reading “A Generous Life”
Today’s Train
Recently I was visiting a neighboring church. We were all gathered together in worship, singing to the Lord. As I stood there singing, I got a vision mixed in together with a memory of a story I heard years ago. I saw us together singing inside of the church, singing loudly while ignoring the trainContinue reading “Today’s Train”

We are all sinners and we don’t deserve any of the good gifts that he offers us, yet he gives them because he GENUINELY LOVES us.

It wasn’t until I entered a new season as a mom that I decided to begin this practice of reading myContinue reading “Living Word”
Taste and See
“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusts in him.” Psalm 34:8 It is one of my most favorite scriptures, as it details not only that the Lord is good, but that he gives us the ability to TASTE it and the opportunity to SEE it. This isContinue reading “Taste and See”

God has abundant futures for EACH of us. But what about today? He doesn’t only create beauty in theContinue reading “Dream”
Ask
My kids and I are walking through the book of Exodus right now. After we read Exodus 3 one morning, I asked my 7 year old to pray for us. I had a feeling that he would not want to. As assumed, he squirmed away from this suggestion and offered dozens of other ideas asContinue reading “Ask”
