Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. Mark 6:41, NLT I don't know how God does … Continue reading Multiplying Pasta with Meat Sauce
You’ll Have 3 Under 3!?
In my high school years, I never understood the desire for motherhood. Partially because of how my mother and father's marriage crumbled and disintegrated into a steaming pile of brokenness devoid of integrity. It made me a bit of a cynic regarding wifedom and motherhood. Flash forward to 23 year old me, I'd been married … Continue reading You’ll Have 3 Under 3!?
Budgets, Babies, and Back seats
I hate budgeting. I'm good at formulating budgets. I'm even diligent in saving and tithing each month. But I'm not good at change, unexpected expenses, or STAYING WITHIN my budget. Now, that said, I've taken Dave Ramsey's financial Peace class and I've tried the cash envelope method. All that does to me is say, "oh, … Continue reading Budgets, Babies, and Back seats

THE Christmas Story
I was having a conversation with my husband and mother-in-law and we ended up on the subject of Christmas. She mentioned that she believed one of the younger ladies she works with is unfamiliar with the Bible, specifically the Christmas story. As a Christian, it's my responsibility to make sure people hear the message of … Continue reading THE Christmas Story
Gypsies
Crashing in our worship pastor's basement isn't exactly my ideal living situation. It's been over a week and we still have no concrete timeline pertaining to our occupancy/closing on our new place. We are in between homes; wanderers, strangers, nomads. Like the Romani people (minus the fortune telling) who lived as wanderers making a living … Continue reading Gypsies
A Baby Gerkin
I love how God works in my life, so I feel it only appropriate to celebrate clear answers to prayers. Story time! This, I suppose, is a follow-up to my post "A Pickle" as it seems the issue has been shrunken down a bit. We are in the midst of some uncertainty as far as … Continue reading A Baby Gerkin
Trusting God to be God
3 days. There's a significance there in the number of days until my family and I will have to vacate our current home. God can do a lot in 3 days- in 3 days, He raised His own Son from the dead and made Jesus victorious over sin and death, thereby freeing me from the … Continue reading Trusting God to be God
A Pickle
"Please don't use my hair to climb the sofa," were the first words I said as I began to type this post... sorta sums up the emotions of the day: uncomfortable, annoying, and frustrating. We had the home inspection on the (hopefully) future homestead. While most of the information I was given I already knew … Continue reading A Pickle
Home
We received some good news after about two weeks worth of trials; the offer we made on the new house was accepted! Praise God for that answered prayer. To celebrate, my husband brought home surprise Jones Soda and natural vanilla bean ice cream. I hugged him and cried for minutes solid because, doggone it, that … Continue reading Home
