Hope
There are seasons of heaviness,There are seasons of grief,Seasons so dark in which there seems no relief. There are seasons of fear,There are seasons of doubt,When we feel like we are smothering, with no way out. There are seasons of plenty,There are seasons with no pull,When we feel like our cups are overflowing past full.Continue reading “Hope”
Builder of the Broken
Our oldest son was the biggest of all three of our children. He was so big that he completely skipped newborn diapers and went straight to size 1. I guess you could say he came into this world as a big boy and to this day, we refer to him as our “Big Man”. AsContinue reading “Builder of the Broken”
All to Him
As I get older, I have become more and more reflective of every aspect of my life. How am I spending my time? What message am I sending with my life? How am I as a wife, mother, sister, friend, etc.? There are so many questions. However, I have very few answers to any ofContinue reading “All to Him”

You Are
From light breaking through the darkness of night, To the wind that gently breezes and guides a child’s kite. From the heartbeat at conception as a sign of new life, To milk in the breast of a mother whose infant holds tight. From every inhale and exhale as a our lungs breath in and out,Continue reading “You Are”

Wait on the Lord
Since leaving my job of 17 years in August 2018, I have been in a time of waiting. I have not been given instructions about my next career move or even if I will even return to my field. Although I have done several temporary jobs over the last few years, in the meantime, I’veContinue reading “Wait on the Lord”
