They make my heart happy….

creation museum
Paul and I decided to treat the children last week to the first vacation we have had in several years! His travels make hotel stays very affordable (free, actually!), and car rentals very inexpensive. It was an *absolutely perfect* trip! Well, except for that weather…. We took a little detour over into Indiana! The whole group waiting to go in….…
a gifted dream
The Lord is so very good to me. He knows exactly my heart and my hurts. This week, I’ve found myself dwelling on *that night*…the details, the sounds, our last words. I’ve done so well to try and think of other things, but this week, it’s just hung there. Anger has once again squeezed in….. My mama fought a hard…

mama’s birthday
I guess this day has been easier than I originally thought- that’s not exactly what I’m thinking, but I don’t know any other way to write my thoughts. Maybe it’s been hard, but I have felt God’s grace all around. I have cried. My children have cried. I sat, with them all, in the blades of grass growing all around…

Homeschooling
School days are beginning in our home. We typically are schooling through the summer and take our breaks during the cooler months. This year, we’re behind on some days so we’re probably going to be schooling through our break times. No one seems to mind, (or even notice). They just have a good time and enjoy exploring new ideas. These are…
Happy Birthday, Mama
My dearest Mama, I woke up to the day I’ve thought on, really dreaded, every day this past couple of weeks. It’s your birthday- I knew it would be hard. I’ve had to stop just to catch my breath. At night I lay in bed, so many nights, and relive our last conversations. I’m thankful for the moments of watching…
