I'd like to say that I've discovered the secret to contentment. While I know that the answer is always resting in Christ, sometimes my flesh doesn't remember. It's frustrating.

When God Says Wait
Good morning, friends. Today I woke up with a very sore eye. Yesterday, my two-year-old gave me a black eye for the very first time ever! He is a strong little guy, ha!

Today is the Sabbath Day. My husband has told our older children that he will take them fishing this morning, while I rest at home with our little ones. While my body may be at rest at the moment, my mind is not. I have encountered many trials this past year, and my mind has … Continue reading When We Walk Alone
A Prayerful Start to 2021
Good afternoon, ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sitting here with a seed catalog, thinking and dreaming of spring. My little guys are adventuring outside while one of my oldest daughters is finishing up the paint in my youngest daughters' room. Such blessings! I have been praying quite a bit lately. Praying for … Continue reading A Prayerful Start to 2021
