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."

August 3, 2016 By SmellingCoffee

Anyone know what I’m talking about? Don’t we all have those moments where we’ve obediently surrendered something to the Lord, and He’s so proud of us, and we’re so proud of ourselves… and then we start to think about what we’ve done… aaaaaannnnnnddddddd BOOM! Our next instinct is to snatch whatever it is that we […]

Encouragement to continue humbly serving Right Here, Right Now

March 21, 2015 By SmellingCoffee

While scrolling through Twitter yesterday two separate posts grabbed my attention and drew me in… and I’m so grateful! Both were quotes from blog articles written by women I deeply respect, and both tended to say the same thing. When that happens, I tend to take note. The words rang so beautifully true that I […]

Praying for you on this Mother’s Day ~

May 11, 2014 By SmellingCoffee

The thought of “Mother’s Day” carries so many different emotions, doesn’t it? For me, there is the deep and humble gratitude for 1) having a Godly mother who loves and sacrifices (even now) for her family and children; 2) the fact that she is still very much alive, is my friend, and has an active […]

God Blesses Those Who Mourn ~ A Word for the Grieving Soul

December 27, 2017 By SmellingCoffee

Hello, friends! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Three months, I believe, since my last blog post. I began the Fall with a renewed determination to delve back into blogging and to edit and re-publish my Christmas book, Keeping Christ AS Christmas. But in His wisdom and perfect timing, God had other and more precious […]
