Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Aden (Abigail's husband), *SAM* and *MARY ELLA* (our 2 year old grandson and brand new granddaughter!!!) 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."

How to put one foot in front of the other

July 21, 2013 By SmellingCoffee

…or how we press on in parenting, or in marriage, or at work, or in a season of difficult obedience… Sometimes that’s the only way. That, and this: But isn’t it really enough? Today, no matter what, lets choose to rejoice in the fact that we don’t have to do life on our own. It […]

When I Find My Faith on Shaky Ground

July 20, 2016 By SmellingCoffee

Over all, trusting the Lord has not been a terribly difficult thing for me to do in my life. With deep gratitude I realize that I’ve had people around me that were worthy of keeping my trust, so it has been a natural thing to believe that my Heavenly Father is who He says He […]

For this Man I prayed… and waited… and wrote… {PART 1}

October 17, 2016 By SmellingCoffee

Today James and I will have been married for 24 years. Twenty-four-years. It sounds much longer to me than it actually feels, yet I can hardly remember doing life without him. Four years ago I posted a three-part series on how I prayed and waited on God to bring James into my life, and […]
