I am a mom. Moms worry. We protect. We nurture. It’s just what we do. From the moment you know there is a baby inside of you, or you get word your baby is coming to you, your heart begins to grow. When you see those eyes for the first time, and hear that first … Continue reading In the Storm
Word from India
I don’t miss working out for much. I know that looking at me you might not know this. However, since my cancer 7 years ago, I have been committed to moving my body in some way every single day. I usually start my day in the basement on the treadmill or the bike. It requires … Continue reading Word from India
Into the Darkness
My first born was launched this summer, like an arrow from a bow… into the world. I felt the release from my hand, and I watched her fly through the air. There were tears, even as my eyes followed her flight. That was three months ago. Now I watch from a distance as God releases … Continue reading Into the Darkness

My New Family
I did not choose to be a World Race parent. That role was chosen for me by my daughter, or I should say more truthfully…by God. It is not unlike any parenting role. It’s just that most of the same concerns you have about your children who live close by are magnified when they are … Continue reading My New Family

Three Floors
There were three different floors. White tile. Blue tile. Floral carpet. I didn’t notice wallpaper, or pictures, or curtains. That tells me my head was down more than it was up. My eyes downcast.
