I recently took a picture of a tree with one leaf hanging on. It was like the tree was clinging to the leaf, not wanting to let the leaf fall, because once that last leaf falls, the tree enters its winter season and sleeps.  During winter months, the tree sits doing what it must, sleepingContinue reading “New Year Blessings”

My daughter often has words of wisdom that I need to hear. Unfortunately, sometimes I am too stubborn to listen. Last night was one of those times. We were making our annual Gingerbread House and it collapsed. We all laughed when it happened, but I wanted to make it stand. My kids decided to decorateContinue reading “Lessons from a Collapsed Gingerbread House”

Christmas is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. However, it has meant so much more to me as a mom. One of my greatest gifts came the day after Christmas in the form of a baby boy.

Some after severe stressors where it was myContinue reading “Walking in Faith”

I wrote this two years ago today. I wanted to share it today. God speaks to me through so many things, nature is one of them. The picture I accidentally took today made me think about the promises of God’s love! As random as the leaves look in this picture God knew where each oneContinue reading “As the Leaves Fall”

“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5 When I read that phrase, a refuge and a shield, two different images come to mind. A refuge is a haven and a place to seek in times when you are tired, weary, and heartbroken. AContinue reading “My Refuge and Shield”

“But the Lord stood by me and strengthen me!! What a powerful promise!! There will be times in this world when we feel totally by ourselves, our hearts are broken so bad that we can’t reach out even if our friends are there for us.
