I recently read an older parenting book titled, Shepherding a Child’s Heart, by Tedd Tripp. I am not really big into reading parenting books and yet from time to time they have been helpful in getting me to think through how my husband and I are parenting. Though, I don’t agree with every idea or perspective in this book, I appreciate the way it gets me to think critically about the how and why’s to the way...
My husband and I recently attended an “Empower to Connect” conference. It was a great 2-day refresher, relearning the Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) approach to our parenting that we both appreciate and need. So tonight, my adopted daughter had a challenging time. → ...
Ah, May. How I love your fresh spring breezes (here more often gale force winds, but let’s ignore that), sunshine, flowering trees, and the smell of freshly mowed grass. Ahhh…. Not to mention enjoying soccer games, track meets, concerts and extra school events… Ok, I DO enjoy those. But they tend to get a bit out of hand in May. → ...

Wednesday brought a fresh reminder of my deep dependence on God. It is humbling that I need a reminder but this past Wednesday God used a horrible stomach virus to remind me how much I need to depend on Him. → ...
on my personal blog, I’ve been writing this week about the fruit of the spirit….and today’s fruit is Peace. Peace is hard to attain most days. The tyranny of the urgent, or realistic fears and frustrations pop up all day long and are at war with my fight for peace and assurance of God’s provision in my life. Still, He calls us to peace. Not a false sense of assurance that everything will be ok because lots of days its...
Yesterday was Easter. It was a beautiful day! My family and I attended Easter services at a church plant in a town near us. The first thing our eight year old said when we walked into church was, “Why is everyone so happy?” Indeed, everyone was happy! I loved seeing happy families enter church with their little ones dressed for Easter. We met an old friend of mine who had three foster children in tow. All three were dressed in...
I was hoping to share something with you that related to Good Friday today but each time I was thinking about writing my blog entry I kept coming back to the photo album. → ...
Luke 12: “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Two years ago, my husband unexpectedly lost his job and our family was in limbo for several months while we transitioned.
