The Cost of $20

September 8, 2010

When I got strep throat, I began to fear my $25 copay multiplying if the kids got sick, too.  And that was the extent of my worry.  Last Friday I wanted to post another “Focus on it Friday” saying how thankful I was for the quality healthcare that my family can receive, but really my [...]

In All Things

July 14, 2010

I love it when a sermon confirms that I’m right.  A pastor spilling bits of God’s truth to the congregation, I scoop up those precious morsels that I’ve uttered before, admiring the way they shine under the stage lights.  There’s nothing better than to nod my head in agreement without feeling the twinge of conviction [...]

His Child

July 12, 2010

“Mom! Hannah Grace had a big fall!  She’s needs to go to the hospital!” my ever-dramatic four-year-old informed me. I was less than six feet away from my kids, doing the dishes while they ate their dinner.  Matt was still not home from work. I wanted to get the kitchen as clean as possible before [...]

Faith Like a Child

June 22, 2010

I can’t get anything by Caleb; he is too bright.  Always asking questions, he stores away the answers in his computer of a mind, a mind that does not forget.  I have to make sure I answer Caleb truthfully and carefully because, chances are, we will come back to our conversation again someday. When Caleb [...]

Fruit from the Garden

June 7, 2010

I open the back door and turn down our little path covered by the shade of trees toward the hose.  I pull on the hose that was wound tightly around the wheel, the wheel that should make unraveling and winding up that hose easy. It doesn’t.  As I turn on the water, I get sprayed [...]

Fearless

May 26, 2010

I had no intention of doing any more than dangling her little feet in the water.  I thought the newness of cool waves lapping at her feet, sand squishing between her chubby toes would suffice.  It was early evening, so I hadn’t even changed the baby into her swimsuit; the sun would go down, and [...]

The Heart of the Matter

May 6, 2010

In honor of Mother’s Day, I am linking up with Lisa-Jo, a.k.a. the Gypsy Mama, to explore why moms matter. If you haven’t already, I highly encourage you to visit her website.  Not only is Lisa-Jo an incredible writer, but she has wonderful insight into pursuing a relationship with God.  You will be blessed by [...]

Admiring the Weeds

April 2, 2010

The other day as I was driving along in my minivan, I passed a hillside covered in dainty purple flowers.  I thought to myself how beautiful they looked and smiled as I welcomed the warm spring weather that had recently made an appearance.  As I continued to drive by the hill, I realized my mistake; [...]

Enjoying the New Carpet

March 17, 2010

4 spit-up spots + 3 pee-pee accidents + 2 poop stains + 1 pink silver polish incident = 10 reasons why we should not have gotten new carpet! Of course, Matt and I knew what we were getting into, and in fact, always said that we would NOT get new carpet until all of our [...]

It’s About Relationship

January 13, 2010

I took Caleb to the doctor today AGAIN.  I’m not positive, but I believe I may have taken one child or the other or the other (or possibly two at the same time) to the doctor every week for four weeks.  But who’s counting? My poor boy has sported different shades of gray over the [...]
