Learn From My Mistakes…

I have been pondering something for awhile now that  I feel just really needs to be mentioned…. it’s a lesson learned, shall we say. Due to the nature of it all, this has to be  written in vagueness.   Yet, the nugget of truth in the midst of it is too valuable –  it must be…

This Girl

As the time here is drawing to a close, it is with a true pain in my heart  that I think of leaving. After the team left there was a night I  just couldn’t sleep, much was on my mind. Maybe I was groggy,  but every few minutes I would count  how many days remained…

Secrets

While the team was here a few days ago, one of the woman had a very clear word.  It wasn’t necessarily something that would be considered a “normal” word.  Yet, it resonated in my heart in a huge way.  I knew God was whispering something.  It kept ringing in my ears…. Within days Almighty God…

Only God Could Do This…

Love Touches

Writing diligently on Ruby’s book has been a beautiful, yet difficult work.  Some chapters have been easier than others to write.   Most chapters have been extremely emotional.   The generous gift of a loving friend afforded Graham and I  the opportunity to come to my most favorite place on earth –   known for it’s unmatched,…

Rockin’ New Wheels

After three months of waiting… Ruby new wheels have arrived… She’s loving it….. It has purple on it –  {cause our little Princess  just has to have purple.} It has been a wonderful thing to have this  new chair… She had completely outgrown the stroller and was kind of tucked into it like a little…
