Do You Have An Idea?

Just nine days now till the big event of our personal world – when Autumn and Karl become officially Mr. and Mrs. One year ago we did not know if a day like this would ever be possible…. except for Faithful God. Our hearts are screaming with joy, no doubt. But I have been doing…

They’re Everywhere!

Seriously, they’re everywhere!  And what a beautiful bunch of people they are. Yesterday I received a message from Stacie {whose mom, Gigi, we had had lunch  with at Cracker Barrel}.  Stacie had been unable to come to lunch and  considered our car troubles her hidden blessing as she wanted to see our  littlest miracle in…

The Night Shift

Recently I was having a discussion with one of our kids.  They were deeply troubled {as was I} about a very serious situation happening to someone we all deeply love.  We actually both were crying.  In the midst of our talking, I tried to reassure them that the Lord was faithful.  He could be trusted…

Over the last few days the Lord has been churning some thoughts around in my heart and head.  Then yesterday He even gave me a word picture for it all.  I love when He does that!  It makes it so much clearer to understand His heart.  There has been a bit of a commotion recently…

The Rest of The Story…

This past week was a week that we will never forget. Just a few days ago I was beyond giddy because I had done something out-of-the-box-crazy by putting an offer in on a house without Dw even seeing pictures of it.   {All your guesses made the time even more giggly!}   I didn’t wait…
