It is amazing how emotions can spring out of control. Recently, I learn that an acquaintance experienced a miscarriage. Before I even realized it, I was dreaming, thinking about our children: the emotions, the disappointments, the pain. I have to remind myself to be thankful for the short time with us and the lessons I […]

Storms by Amy
Once upon a time when I was in college, I started driving down the highway one night to get back to school, not realizing that I was driving straight into a very dangerous storm. Through my own stupidity, I kept driving instead of seeking shelter, despite how terrified I was. I found out later I’d […]

Are you free?
In America, we are celebrating the fourth of July. Although there are some American who just celebrate this holiday, because they like to blow up things. Most American celebrate the freedom from England. We like to declare, “We are free.” But we are not. We are either slave to sin, or a slave to God. […]

Thankfulness Challenge
I wrote a blog at the beginning of October about learning to be thankful for each day in its own unique way. Since then, I also wrote a blog about how something to do with isolation. Permit me to bring the two together into something pragmatic we can all do during this “Thankfulness month.” […]

Thankful for the Day
It sounds like a social media fad for the month of November, doesn’t it? It’s actually a phrase coined/made well known at Kendra’s and my alma mater. I wish I could tell you more of his legacy, but I did not personally know him. He was one of the Residence Directors on campus. I met […]

Seizure free since November 29, 2013
Two years ago, I struggled falling asleep. When I slowed down enough to try to sleep, my imagination would take control. Two years ago, I was having seizures. My doctors wanted to do another surgery. I was afraid that I was not going to be healthy enough to raise my newborn. Now two […]

Entering into the Lord’s presence
Thanksgiving is the time of the year that we get together with people to be thankful for all that we have, but often I fail at becoming more thankful and just become busier. The holidays were supposed to be a reminder to celebrate, not a reason to stress. Since, the Bible is our guide, I thought I […]

Found in the fire
In the book of Daniel, we can read the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Like Daniel, they were captives in a foreign land. The leaders were trying to convince them to let go of their culture and embrace the culture of the land where they were living. One way of achieving this goal was […]

God’s workmanship
I haven’t done much this week. Not only is it chemo week (my doctor wants to continue for probably another 8 months), my daughter and I have a cold. It is amazing how much attention she thinks she needs. Whenever I have energy (and sometimes when I don’t), I have been caring for her. Hopefully, […]
