Hi friends~ As a public service reminder: I’ll be choosing a winner from the previous post tonight before I go to bed ~ so if you haven’t commented and wanted to, please do so asap. 🙂

Your wonderful comments have blessed my soul! I loved reading and thanking God with you for all of the things you mentioned. Thanks for making my special day even more special. I love you.

“I thank my God at all times for you because of the grace (the favor and spiritual blessing) of God which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus” 1 Cor. 1:4 (Amp)

Happy Friday, friends… I’ll be back Saturday with the results.

I'm so hoping I win this braclet; this is one of my favorite verses. Thanks to my Bible study you sent me. I feel I'm so much closer to OUR LORD.

Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Aden (Abigail's husband), *SAM* (my new grandson!!!) Mary (my mom), Gilbert (my dad, who now lives in Heaven), and my empty nest dog - Zoe (who has her own hashtag: #ZoeMyDoggy). And...I couldn't leave out my brother (Chris) and his family, my sister (Rebecca) and her family, or my Aunt Bibby - who, by the time I was three, taught me to drink from a china cup, eat shrimp cocktail, and how to shop with "lay away"! She now lives with Jesus, too... but Ill forever be grateful for her presence in my life! Favorite foods: Hazelnut coffee, milk chocolate candy, and chocolate chip cookies (gluten free, these days). Favorite relaxation activities: Reading a Christian historical fiction book in a long bubble bath, after a 2 hour nap on crisp, clean sheets... mmmmm! Favorite Sport: SHOPPING!!! (very similar to hunting, I think)... Favorite shopping find: an 80% off sale, and snagging designer clothing for $3.99 at Goodwill. :-) Most frequently used daily Devotional Book: My Utmost For His Highest (Oswald Chambers), Daily Light, and Valley of Vision (A Collection of Puritian Prayers). Bible Studies that have changed my walk with the Lord: Experiencing God (Henry Blackaby), Living God's Word (Waylen Moore), A Woman's Heart (Beth Moore), and Seeking Him (Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth) Favorite Bible Verse... For now: Philippians 2:13 "It is God who gives you both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."

Hoping in the Lord, especially in the darkness

Every so often I can’t help but reflect back on one of the hardest {thus far} times our little family of four has experienced. In fact, it was five years ago this past week that we learned one of the most valuable lessons from that difficult time. I hope we never lose sight of the […]

Saying Goodbye & What a Friend We Have in Jesus

July 14, 2014 By SmellingCoffee

This weekend many friends in our first place of ministry said goodbye to a precious woman not much older than I. Mary Beth had a ruptured aneurism. One moment she was fine, and the next… her family began preparing to release her to Jesus. Mary Beth’s husband was the youth minister and James was the […]
