I asked for prayer for our son the other day. He is currently depl*yed. There are times that I am unable to be open and blog freely (with a public blog) about different aspects of our lives and his job is one of those places. We do understand that although “no news is good news”…

Memorial Box Monday – A Sewing Box

It’s Memorial Box Monday again and I was praying and thinking about what to write about today. Having been married for 30+ years and having 9 kids (and one on the way – okay, so she’s 7 years old, but still) our Memorial Box is stuffed with really cool God-stories. I thought it would be…

Memorial Box Monday is a time of remembering all the things God has done. Huge, gigantic things as well as things that might seem insignificant to most. God’s word is clear: We are to cast every care upon Him, because He cares for us. (I Peter 5:7). “Every care” means just that – every care!…

Four months ago when I did my first Memorial Box Monday post I wanted to use the time to remind ourselves of all the miraculous ways the Lord has been faithful, just as the Isrealites were instructed to do once-upon-a-time. (A Memorial Box is first explained here.) Little did I know back then that we…

We thank everyone for their prayers as we moved into the rental. It went well and last night the kids slept in sleeping bags and the babies in cribs (thanks to our sweet friend Terry coming late at night with tools to help Dw put the cribs together). We were able to sleep in a…

Today a couple of my dearest girlfriends (Carie and Irma) came to help me slowly go through some of the last remaining things. Lots of talking and tears – they are such good listeners -as I showed them the things we have treasured. It was therapeutic and these friends are true friends….getting sitters for their…

It seems that the prayers you all have been praying have been heard. We have a verbal agreement (lease to follow) on the rental of a home – Yippee Jesus! There are some interesting things about having a trauma like being in a fire where your home is destroyed. It does weird things to your…

I have to start off by telling everyone that I was actually going to type this post the morning of the fire. I had been woke up by the smoke alarm and decided to just stay up so I could spend some time with the Lord. After the time with the Lord I was going…
