So Very Personal

Posted on June 3, 2018 by For Glory Sake!

Just like that, it’s happened again. Before I could fully grasp it, another of these babies God gave us has become an adult! 18, out of school and off to college. It’s our 4th born this time headed toward the … Continue reading →

Becoming the mom I want to be…

Posted on May 13, 2018 by For Glory Sake!

Big Picture

Posted on May 10, 2018 by For Glory Sake!

Sometimes the road we’re on is so messy and inconvenient and seemingly senseless. “It’s just taking too long to get anywhere to produce anything!” When suddenly after months (or years) of praying and doing the next thing  – a tiny crack … Continue reading →

Learning To Listen

Posted on April 15, 2018 by For Glory Sake!

All You Do

Posted on April 6, 2018 by For Glory Sake!
