We recently had a long run of viruses in our home. All is good until Mama gets sick. I went down on a Monday about the same time the kids got home from school. I stayed in the bed until lunch the next day. Mamas don’t often get a true sick day. We work…
“Even you can understand that work in the church is of greater importance than work done in the secular world.” The words hung in the air for a moment, like a shocking Sunday comic balloon. My gracious husband just smiled. I didn’t know how to respond. These words were from a pastor, a pastor…
“Let’s go camping!” My husband, Mike, suggested as we discussed our summer plans. After spending the last five years pursuing our now 16-year-old son’s adoption from Colombia, we eagerly awaited a relaxing, low-key summer. Three months lay in front of us to settle down and learn how to be the family God created us to…
I love a good garden. There’s something so rewarding about preparing the soil, digging through rich dirt, placing seeds and/or young plants in the earth, watering and nurturing tender shoots, and then harvesting the result.

We’d been home for a month with our newly adopted son after persevering through five years of emotional ups and downs in order to adopt him. We found him and lost him twice over a five year period, only to watch God finally outstretch His arm to give him back to us. I used to…
Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. – Matt. 5:48 So there is it. That verse. One that we brush past, disregard, promise to think about sometime in the future when we have made more spiritual progress in our lives. The Greek word for “perfect” in Matt. 5:48 is teleioi,…
“Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4, NKJV) I thought I knew what the word “delight” meant. And as I drove down the road hearing the verse on the radio as the “Verse of the Day,” I felt the tug of Jesus saying,…
I memorized Bible verses often in my younger years in order to win all sorts of prizes at church. The actual goal of memorizing all those verses, to hide God’s Word in my heart so I might not sin against Him (Psalm 119:11), didn’t really sink in until much later in life. But I am…
