Max

I have survived. 🙂 Today marks  three weeks of my hysterectomy.  Each day that goes by gets better and better, unless I over do it and then I feel the consequences of those actions.  Apparently I was quite a mess … Continue reading

Thanks Eve!

What a crazy storm we had last night!  The younger boys and I were in bed, snuggling, when Zach pointed out the darkness that took over the sky.  It was scary, the wind howled, the rain was beating down and … Continue reading

Obedience…

It’s midweek… and it’s harder and harder to get the troopers up and at ’em. “Mommy, I feel sick” interpreted “Mommy, I’m tired and don’t want to get up.”  Sigh.  It’s grey outside and I too, want to just bury … Continue reading

Family…

Surprising my mom in India was fun.  She had no clue, in fact, she looked at the boys and walked past them until they called out to her.  It was so fun for the boys. India… I was overwhelmed with … Continue reading

Jesus, Help me.

Happy New Years! I haven’t been writing lately.  I even wondered if my blogging days are over and would it matter?  Partly because my computer in my office as been at the “shop being fixed” for a long while and … Continue reading

“What Can I Pray About For You?”

Yesterday while at church… a lady (whom I know but am not close to) leaned over after church and asked me, “What can I pray for you about?  You seem to be battling something heavy.”  I was suffering from cramps … Continue reading

Heaven Here on Earth… Today.

They Will Come…

I learned just a lesson today. (Hair nets are not a nice look!) If God calls on you to do something, He will see you through it all. Pies… I’ve never done anything this crazy before.  Ever… and I’ve taken … Continue reading

Apples and More Apples…

Writing is a way of de-stressing for me.   (Bushels of apples in my van…. lots of apples). Sometimes I write and delete my post while other times I really don’t care how public my thoughts are.  I realize that … Continue reading

Grey’s and Sleep Interrupted

Camping 101

I was unplugged for a few days.  So were my boys. This was my favorite part of camping! I loved that within minutes of parking at our sight, they were off on their bikes, exploring.  They don’t do this as … Continue reading
