A Prayer Challenge

I ran across a booklet today, which I had been given years ago as a challenge for wives to pray for their husbands on a daily basis, specifically out of God’s word.  I have put this with my Bible, to go through daily, and I would encourage you to join me as we lift up our husbands!

Change.

It is 6 days into the new year, and I have yet to breathe one word of “resolutions” to you.  I suppose you’ve heard a lot of resolutions the past week, and perhaps even made a few for yourself.  Well, after pondering the subject for the past couple of weeks, here are my thoughts {at least a few of them}: This year, I am resolving to have no resolutions!  You heard me right…NO New Year’s Resolutions for me.  But, before...

Count Your Blessings…

Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God hath done! Count your blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.     As we approach another Thanksgiving holiday, I want to be especially careful to count my blessings.  God has been so gracious to our family over the years.  I’m not going to say that we haven’t had our tough times…our challenges…our disappointments.  But, God has...

5 Years

Today marks 5 years of marriage. In some ways {how we can complete each other’s sentences, how we often know what each other is feeling without words, & how our family has grown in number, to name a few}, it feels like we have been married for much longer. In other ways {how head-over-heels in love we are, how we still manage to ‘court’ each other, how vivid the wedding memories are, & how we still have a hard time...

Down Memory Lane

Pictures of “us” over the years… {please overlook the bad quality of the older ones. We weren’t “digital” wayyy back then, and we have no scanner, so I took pictures of pictures.}...

Our God-written Love Story, Part I

I’ve been working on a very special post for this month, because I will be celebrating 5 wonderful years of marriage with the love of my life! But, while working on that post, I decided that it may be fun to share “our story” with each other and you all again…you know…to reminisce together 🙂 God has given us such a beautiful love story…the best love story, if you ask me! {I may be a little partial, though.} So, without...
