Update on Patrick – Your prayers are a blessing!

July 20, 2009

I just returned from visiting Amy and Patrick in the hospital and am excited to report that today, Patrick is a different child! He actually ate something and kept it down, and feels so much better. They hope to come home sometime on Monday.

Thank you for your prayers, friends. Please keep praying. 🙂
good night…

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."

Underneath lately

October 15, 2015 By SmellingCoffee

Hi friends. If you have emailed, Facebooked, or messaged me lately and I haven’t responded, I promise it’s not because I’ve been ignoring you. It’s just that I’ve been a bit “underneath” lately. Warning: long – but encouraging, I pray. After all, a week’s worth of words are spilling out below! 😉 Under the weather – […]

When You Don’t Understand What God is Doing

September 13, 2017 By SmellingCoffee

It’s something we often wonder about, isn’t it? Especially these days when so many are hurting, flooding, burning, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Where is God in the midst of all of this suffering? God answered enough of that question for me a little over seven years ago, when my family […]

A super quick post to lift low spirits

November 12, 2013 By SmellingCoffee

This was my Name of God/Jesus for today & I wanted to pass it along. If you need a lift to your countenance today – begin to praise & thank the Lord. We praise Him for Who He is (whether or not we have personally experienced Him as such), and we thank Him for those […]

Throwback Thursday – When FAITH is Fragile or Broken

April 9, 2015 By SmellingCoffee

I was scrolling through some posts on my blog the other day and landed on this one… and boy! did I need to hear these words again!!! Seems lately that when I look around at what my eyes can see and the sheer “impossibility” of being able to make things work on our own… […]

Encouragement to and for The Body of Christ

July 5, 2015 By SmellingCoffee

I didn’t even mean to be there this morning, but that’s often how the Lord works, isn’t it? Instead of moving forward in Scripture, the Holy Spirit kept pulling me backward page by page until I reached the beginning of Ephesians, even to the notes preceding chapter one, verse one, where this phrase caught my […]
