The Process

Posted on April 30, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Prepared

Posted on April 3, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Storms happen. What a funny thing to write on such a beautiful peaceful day. Quiet, other than birds singing and the little creek gurgling… but it’s true, storms do come. Sometimes when we least expect them. I’m talking about those … Continue reading →

Coming out/Going in

Posted on March 25, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

….Well, we’ve done it again. Moved! My parent’s home (that we were all living in) is on the market and we are in our own place again. What an eventful 2 years! Sad to leave, I asked God to help … Continue reading →

Morning

Posted on February 21, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

I love the first moments of morning best; those seconds before I’m fully awake. I don’t know what day it is yet and my lists haven’t formed. That’s when I think of Him. I wonder what He’s doing and what … Continue reading →

The Stuff of Life

Posted on February 6, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Yesterday I had a bit of a meltdown. Somewhere between the creative staging of each room of our house by a real estate photographer (which involved moving ALL personal items/knick-knacks off shelving), and the thought of keeping this home that … Continue reading →

Manna

Posted on January 27, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

For more than 10 years I’ve hosted a women’s Biblestudy in my house. What started as a mom’s play group among friends, morphed into a real searching of God’s Word. As the years passed and our kids grew older, we have … Continue reading →

Gifts from Losses

Posted on December 24, 2015 by For Glory Sake!

I’ve heard that the 1st holiday following a death is the toughest… Christmas is here and my parents aren’t. They’ve always been a part of our celebrations, and it seems strange not to have them around. Our joy over their … Continue reading →

Marinating

Posted on December 8, 2015 by For Glory Sake!

Me, a Professional?

Posted on November 17, 2015 by For Glory Sake!

Plugging away at my new office job has granted me a new respect for the 9-5 workforce. There’s much to learn and I’m thankful for any help from patient teachers who explain new tasks. I’m learning from their experience. After … Continue reading →
