Tears of Joy – God Delivered the Victory

For quite a long time our family has been praying and following an  important homeschooling case. A German family had sought asylum in the United States because of the persecution they had faced in their homeland.  The question was – Would the US allow this family to stay in the US based on the persecution…

An Old Hymn Speaks

Last time I wrote I mentioned that Nehemiah was really sick.  As it turned out I basically published the post and went to take his temp. It was up over 104 again and he was on the strep med! Nehemiah then told me that he was having trouble breathing so I grabbed my purse and…

4,000,000 and 4,000,001

Woo-hoo!   Kind of giggly today… Miss Lynsie  a bloggy friend who {pictured with her beautiful treasures}  stopped by our Place at just the right time and found herself number 4,000,000 and sent me the fastest email… And unlike last time when something like  22 were on when it turned to 3,000,000 [and all sent…

Family Photos – Saunders Style

Given the official announcement yesterday I joyfully share our family photo taken  over Christmas. Missing twelve of us: Abigail, Ryan, Finn, Stone,  &  Baby #3 [due any day],  Ty, Sarah, Charlotte & Will, Emma & LM Baby #1 for Karl and Autumn –  although sort of pictured Ruby’s thinkin’,  “Is that the best scary face…

She Said “Yes!”

Oh the inexplicable joy of being a parent! Last evening  {in our backyard}, with sweet love songs filling the air, a completely shocked Savannah was gently led by our son   down a candle-lit Memory Lane laden with special photos  and  old love notes from the  past three years… to a place where he knelt  and through…

No Way!!!

A few months back I was spending time with the Lord and suddenly an idea came screeching to a halt in my  mind.  Most of the time I do hear His voice clearly, but this  particular time it was such a random, crazy, out-of-the-box idea of something that I was supposed to do…that I was actually…

He Rescued Us

Last night as I was climbing into bed,  my mind wandered and began to flood with fear-filled thoughts.  I had to stop and pray and ask the Lord for His peace to replace the memories. I wondered if I would even be able to sleep.   Exactly five years before I was climbing into bed, …

Steady and Celebrating

Today is the anniversary of  a very important day in my life, personally. I don’t know about you, but rarely do I  know what the date is or at least, rarely do I pay attention to it.   However, each January,  for the last 8 years I have watched the calendar in anticipation of the  10th coming…

So Here’s The Plan…

We have made a conscious effort to Selah some today. In years past we have hurried and scurried and it has been a very, very much needed change in our home…. Aren’t churches in the snow the most beautiful? And just in case you’re wondering if  I am missing the snow… that would be a…
