She climbs into my lap and flings her tiny arms around me. And nuzzling her nose deep into my neck she whispers, “I love you mama,” like it’s our little secret. And she pulls away and holds my face in her soon-to-be-four-year-old hands and kisses me strong. And she melts me, my youngest of five… […]
Dancing with God
I did a dance with God for several years, which often consisted of the same conversation between us. Not because He was saying the same thing over and over, but because I wasn’t listening. The dance involved me telling Him how sorry I was for being the sinner that I am, and Him affirming me […]
I Will Always Remember
I remember the bottom, my lowest point.  In the midst of my divorce, in my failure and shame–sitting in my car, tears flowing down, and being broken.
I’m at my Beginning
There are writers of words I have been reading for some time. Seasoned writers who weave words like art, who paint with words, and who ooze words right out of their very souls. Meaningful words that move and inspire. Words that pierce hearts with beauty and truth. And I just returned from Relevant where I met […]
Returning Home to Goodness
A mama’s heart is never far from home, no matter how far away she is. And I’m running home to the smiles and embraces, to the silly hands and smudge-filled spaces—A return to all that fills and inspires and stretches and teaches… And Sundays are for returning home, to rest in surrender to His goodness, […]
Beyond
His love is beyond anything I can really grasp or comprehend. He sees beyond my selfish thoughts and judgmental attitudes. Beyond my easily irritated heart and quickly angered reactions.
Catching Glimmers of Love
To catch the glimmer in their eyes fills this mama-heart right up. As they play, and laugh, and sing and learn…as they twirl and dance and show me their best work. I catch the glimmer, and their smiles melt me.. And I close my eyes, and wish for the moments never to pass. How great […]
Ordinarily Extraordinary!
I am ordinary… I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend… An encourager, a cheerleader, a cleaner, a chauffeur, a writer, …and a dreamer among other things. I have little to credit to my name I have not written a book I have not spoken to thousands And hardly anyone knows my name I […]
The Path of Life
Sundays are for seeing His path and for walking joyfully with Him… May you experience, this day, all the joy and pleasure that can only be found in walking the path He has for you, is my prayer… What joys have you been experiencing on your path?
Grandeur of the Heavens
Sundays are for declaring His majesty… For seeing the grandeur of the heavens… and for marveling at His mindfulness of me… May you declare His majesty, be in awe of His creation, and marvel in His mindfulness of you, this day, is my prayer. What is your favorite part of God’s creation?
