Prayer journal entry 9/16/2018 **************************************This fostering thing has brought so many changes and challenges that I never would’ve thought of. One thing we didn’t think about while accepting a little boy the same age as Annabelle, (3 1/2) was the fact that he isn’t potty trained. Now I know they say boys can take longer, […]

Every time I read about God first appearing to Moses in “the burning bush,” I can relate so much to him. My response may have been the same… Actually, I 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 asked the same… “But God, who am I?” I love that God responds with, “I will be with you.” Then when he asks, “What […]

As we were on a hike Saturday, I heard myself telling Annabelle to follow in her daddy’s footsteps because he knew the best path that would keep her safe. Ummm lightbulb anyone?! 💡😊 I imagine our Heavenly Father is saying the same to us. “My precious child, I have a path laid out for you. […]

How many times have you heard someone say, “Well I guess all we can do now is pray?” I wonder what difference it could make if we 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 with prayer in bold faith, instead of having it as our last resort. Prayer is powerful, and should be our first option in any situation, not our […]

I was standing on a beautiful beach while we were stationed on the little island of Guam, watching the water ebb and flow with our first foster child. Reflecting on our decision to take on another child, while I was already struggling with my abilities to mother my own biological children, I felt the Lord […]

While sitting in the emergency room, yet again, with Skye a few years ago, we were talking about his injuries leaving behind scars. As a preteen boy, of course he actually looked forward to having the scars! We talked about how each scar has a story behind it, and how he’d have plenty of fun […]

After four weeks of fostering zoomed by faster than I ever thought possible, our time with the boys came to an end. I’m not going to lie… this could have been the most difficult four weeks of our family’s lives, including PCS’ing with the military, being technically homeless with no car… (up to that point […]

A few months ago, the kiddos and I were talking about the Disney movie, 𝙎𝙊𝙐𝙇. We discussed how we all really do have soul, and when our time on Earth is done, our soul will go to heaven to be with Jesus. (Little did I know how much this discussion would help a couple months […]

I love this interaction between Jesus and a man asking Him for help with his son possessed by a “mute spirit.” He said that it “seizes him, throws him down, he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid.” Mark 9:18 First, it’s funny to me that the man calls out the disciples, […]

I love these lyrics from Elevation Worship’s 🎵 Rattle 🎵 They hit me hard the first time I heard them, and thought they were pretty fitting for sharing today. Friday’s disappointment is Sunday’s empty tomb 🙌🏽 If you’re going through a rough time, remember you haven’t seen the other end of it yet. There’s more […]
