Get Your Camera Out……

The fire and the ramifications from the fire are never too far from our thoughts. Really, it’s difficult to put into words all the areas of our lives that it has affected and continues to affect. There are things that will pop into my head that are forever gone that I just have to quickly…

Do You?

I received an email today from a bloggy friend. I do not know this person but it troubled me so much that I knew I had to write about it today. Actually this post is a long time coming, her letter just spurred it to the forefront. Her letter involved concern for someone she deeply…

One Year Ago Today….

Today marks the one year anniversary of losing our home and it’s contents to a devastating fire. I felt like I couldn’t let the day pass pretending it wasn’t what it was. But being perfectly honest, I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to say either, although I have prayed a great deal about what…

A few Thoughts & Autumn

I was asked recently why I had not posted pictures of the new house going up? Hmmmm. Good question. I had to ponder that whole thought, because you’re right, normally, I would have posted pictures long before now. So I have prayed, thought and pondered.

Promise of Restoration

A couple of weeks ago I shared that the Lord had spoke very clearly to me the morning our sweet log home was going to be bulldozed. Today the kids and I went over to the log house to feed our kitties. Our little kitties are more than perplexed saying -what in the world happened?…

Once Upon a Time….

Anything but fancy….at only 2,011 square feet (half the size of our previous home), but still it had 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (far more than most of the world)…..yet somehow this little place was perfect!!! It was…

Grieving

I am literally walking out the door but I thought I would ask you, my sweet bloggy friends, for prayer. While driving home from Greeley on Wednesday we found that our insurance company had approved our log home to be called a total loss. Yesterday we spent the day gathering the last of the stuff…

Our Little Log Home

I fully intended to write about our little log home yesterday, but something happened that kind of knocked the stuffin’ out of this ol’ gal. I am praying about writing about that one day. We’ll see. So forgive me for leaving you hanging, it definitely was not my intention. Anyway, I wanted to update all…

Signatures….

Many years ago I found myself perplexed as to how to sign my name on things pertaining to ministry. When it came to personal things I have always signed my name with a “Love” in front of it or “Much love”. Speaking of that, what is up with friends who can’t sign their name with…
