This-a hospital of all places-has become a sort of sacred ground for our family. Three years ago it saved my firstborn’s life. Last year it saved both my life and then my second son’s life, and now today in a way it is saving my husband’s life. Because today my husband begins a new future… Read More
Hi Friend, I’m going to attempt to go somewhere a little sensitive today. You might find yourself hating me and wanting me to leave you alone, but just try to hear me out.

When I began this blog in October, I was so ecstatic about getting started on the ministry I’d felt God calling me to for so long. After years of planning and dreaming, I finally had a… Read More
It is now the second week of Advent. We have been journeying these last ten days with Ann Voskamp and learning what it means to unwrap The Greatest Gift, the gift of Jesus. Last week we learned how in Christ we have Hope. Hope that takes a dried up stump, and brings forth new life. … Read More
Love came down and found me. It found me. I couldn’t find it on my own. Surrounded by darkness, I was lost and didn’t know where to look. In the dark and the coldness of that long, long Winter, I remember watching the merriment around me – the parties, the lights, the gaiety, all the… Read More
