The Dining Room Table Saga
August 1, 2013 Disclaimer: This post is not really about a dining room table. “He must become greater; I must become less.” (John 3:30 NIV) The Back Story: On Monday, I posted about the experience I wanted with my kids that God wants with us. Maybe I should have said I started this blog to […]

Weekend Wisdom and Wanderings…{1}
July 27, 2013 Since I haven’t had much time to read books this summer, blogs have been easier and quicker to find on my phone or when I have a spare minute. I thought putting together a few inspiring posts may help some of you out, as well. Here’s what inspired me…have a great Saturday! […]
A HandyMan Shower

A Home’s Perspective
July 15, 2013 We call her “she” and claim “her” roots go deeper than truly known to the human eye. Who designed it? Who built it? Is it old? Does it have history? What is her story? I love homes. I love all things home decor. I don’t like to call myself a shopper but […]
Four Years, Three Houses, Two Kids

I cannot believe how fast time flies and never knew how fast it truly went until our boys were born. But, it […]
Rescued with Both Hands
July 7, 2013 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: ‘Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? (2 Samuel 7:18) I posted this verse recently as my status on Facebook. Two summers ago, our ladies Bible study focused on […]
