Back to Blogging


While all the kiddos are getting ready to go Back to School, I thought what better time for me to get  Back to Blogging! Oh how I have missed the blogging, but honestly this summer has been the busiest I can ever remember. I just haven’t had very much computer time!

So, I thought I would do a little blog with photos to let you know what we have been up to this summer.


This is me and my hubby at a friends’ wedding. What a beautiful wedding, I had never been to a wedding in a castle before and it was lovely!


Me and the kids at Mammoth Cave National Park. We spent our vacation in Kentucky this year, what a peaceful area.


We traveled through Amish areas while we were in Kentucky, and oh how I LOVE their simple outlook on life. I know what you’re thinking, but I don’t care, I honestly think I could live without the conveniences of the modern world if I could look out my front door every morning at this.





Anyway, that is a very short snap shot of the beauty our summer has held. We have also cried many tears this summer, some our own, others with friends and loved ones. We have drawn closer to the Lord as we have seen his providing hand and his faithfulness to us so undeserved.


School starts for us on Tuesday and in September I am scheduled for surgery. So, as I am confined I will be sure to write more often and share Our Little Journey in Faith.

It's Real

A week ago today, my youngest son made the most important decision of his young life. He gave his heart and life to Jesus! As a parent, there is no greater joy than to see your child come to Jesus. I know there are some who don’t believe as I do, but I implore you not to stop reading this post. Please just read my account and allow my words to sink into your heart. Friday we decided to go to a campmeeting in NC for its final night to hear an aged man of God preach. I am going to be honest here and confess that I was really tired and considered staying home (thank God I did not). We arrived at the campground and immediately saw our former pastor (where we call our home church), I was so excited as I had not seen him in a quite a while and it was a treat to see him and his dear wife. As it turns out the tent was quite full and we had to sit separate, Jason sat in front of me and the kids with our home pastor and his wife. Throughout the service I recall looking over at Chan...

Fear is a Liar

Lately the nudge to write has grown but I have fought it because I'm not sure what to write. There are things rattling around internally I just don't know which ones to write about. This blog is an outlet for me in so many ways yet I let fear grip me and I stay silent. Fear is a real enemy. Fear can keep us from living, really living.  A situation came up recently where someone I care about said something that hurt. I know it wasn't meant to hurt, but it hurt anyway. Fear kept me silent. Fear kept me from telling this person that their words hurt. Fear brought anxiety. Fear threatened to hurt a strong relationship. I would love to say I eventually confronted this person and told them my heart, but fear won and I have yet to speak the words. Fear has kept me from fighting the insurance company so that I can get the decompression surgery I need. I am afraid of another surgery. Ach, there it is, the truth. I'd rather live in pain then go through another decompression. Fear...

Winter Blues

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." Anne Bradstreet, The Works of Anne Bradstreet I do enjoy the beauty of the snow and the warmth of Hot Chocolate with the family, but lately I have been craving the warmth of spring and the bright rays of the sunshine. March has arrived and with it the hope of spring, and the end of the cold, long winter.  Life is full of seasons, just as winter seems barren and hard, spring brings showers of blessings. Lately I have felt I was in winter, the cold outside seemed to mirror the cold within. Not a defeating cold, just a weary cold. Have you ever just felt weary? My body has certainly been weary lately, and sometimes when the body is weary the soul follows suit. However, as weary as we may be, can you not still see the beauty in the cold? Look how the snow covered trees look so peaceful, how about the pure white of the snow, is...
