Every story circle at preschool, when we went around telling what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said, “A mom.” I remember the teacher … Continue reading Come to the Well

NOW is the Time
I was at a retreat this weekend and during worship I heard the Lord speak to my heart. It was for the parents in the room, and several requested a copy. As I was writing it up, I thought it might also be for other World Race parents…but then I thought it might be for … Continue reading NOW is the Time
Whispers on the Wind
For the first time ever, there were no Easter baskets at my house today. There will be no celebratory meal either. I didn’t buy a special dress. Before the dawn, I dressed in blue jeans and a sweat shirt, grabbed a coat, chairs, and blankets and headed for the hills. As we climbed, the full … Continue reading Whispers on the Wind
Small Town Life

What is it?
Recently, I have been pondering the mystery of the manna. If you don’t know the story, it is in Exodus 16. The Israelites were wandering around in the desert thinking that Egypt was looking pretty good in comparison. They were remembering the good parts and forgetting the slavery part. You know…back in ‘the good old … Continue reading What is it?

Lessons for 2015…from the Butterflies
I sit in the dark. It is 2015. I thought it would never arrive. Some years are just slow moving, and for me, 2014 was one of them. It was a year of pruning, and those years are never fun. They are painful, and require a day to day remembering that the fruit comes after … Continue reading Lessons for 2015…from the Butterflies
