Posted on December 21, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Last week I posted about seeking abundant grace, knowing He would bring it. That very day, I let my daily care-helper off for a  trip. No worries, some family is coming. That night, my mom (79) fell backwards in the bathroom, on … Continue reading →

Focusing My Mind

Posted on July 31, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

As much as I fretted over coming home, worried about it, thought I couldn’t do it (I’m just being honest), – we’re back.  Vacation was fun, but it’s not reality. It’s time to get to it. When my sister asked … Continue reading →

Stop Everything!

Posted on April 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

God’s timing is curious. There’s no figuring it out in the moment, but sometimes, looking back the fuzziness clears. I’m in the fuzzy-part right now. My husband, David, his bro-in-law, one of our sons and a cousin all went on a whirlwind … Continue reading →

Hope For Tomorrow

Posted on March 15, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Moving! I swing from excited anticipation, to mild panic, to just being plain overwhelmed. Boxes are piling up at 2 houses and still, there’s more to do. Friends stop by and see the progress… I see the mess. Can’t vacuum, … Continue reading →

Mentally exhausted from a full week of care-giving, I went to a women’s Biblestudy today. I usually host at my house, but with so much on my plate, my friends decided to change things up and try a new 6 … Continue reading →

A Balancing Act
