A State of Undone
My house has been in a state of undone for well over a week now. A quick trip was made to a neighboring state to attend a graduation and steal time with my son and family. No sooner had we gotten back than we…
A Beautiful Tour
This is one of my favorite pictures – I say that about most of my pictures of Texas. It was taken while traveling down the backroads of west Texas during a tour of colleges for my oldest daughter. The trip consisted of just us girls (me, my oldest and youngest). We three traipsed across Texas… Continue reading A Beautiful Tour
The Light in the Darkness
Ink black sky, sliver of a moon shining bright. Lone star twinkling in the night there in the darkness, tethered to the slip of illumination coming from the crescent shaped moon. Smallness in shape yet hopeful, breaking through the suffocating blackness. A lifeline. A position to take hold of; focus on, steady ones course by.… Continue reading The Light in the Darkness
Somewhere in Between
We are all somewhere in between something. A beginning and the end. New and old, Life and death. Some time ago I found myself in this place of somewhere in between. My heart and my life had went through a series of difficulties, a couple of heart wrenching losses of loved ones, some markedly painful… Continue reading Somewhere in Between
Friendship
Friendship is meant to enrich your life, its meant to build you up and fortify you against the harsh elements of the world. God designed relationship / friendship. He is the author of it all. We are meant to gather together, sharpen each other and lift each other up. Thankfully our friendship has grown sweeter over the years and even though we don’t live close in proximity to each other when we do get together it is like we were never apart.

Radical Love
My husband and I began another small group class on marriage. This is one of many classes, seminars and breakaways we have done since 2012 when we began our ministry to couples and families. Our hope in doing this is to give them tools we did not have in order to have a Christ centered… Continue reading Radical Love
Through the Valley of Winter
I came across this piece in the memories timeline I had written and posted to social media over six years ago. It was written during a time I was attempting to traverse the loss of several precious people in my tribe. Loneliness, grief, and a loss of joy had taken root in my being. I… Continue reading Through the Valley of Winter
Move the Mountain
Remember faith; however small, can move the hand of God which formed the mountain in front of you. God is moved by our faith. Faith will move the mountain.
A Love that Never Fails
As a little girl and young woman I use to dream a lot. Most nights I would wake from a dream attempting to scream or scared out of my mind because of what I had experienced in the dream. Some nights I would stay up just so I would not have to dream. I know now where… Continue reading A Love that Never Fails
