My baby is not on her feet yet, but already she knows instability. On hands and knees. Rock, rock, rock. Slide a knee. Lift a hand. Oomph – bellyflop. Up again. Pitch forward. Faceplant. Waaaaaa…. But whether it’s learning how to crawl or walk, or simply how to keep from falling, we’ve all been there…Continue reading “Unstable”

Books On Our Floor #3
After finishing the Brighter Winter Reading Challenge, I was tickled to have a new challenge to follow. This one was offered by Gina and her sister at Home Joys. Rather than asking for so many titles per month, this challenge was set up by seasons. Here’s how I accomplished the spring challenge. 1. Read aContinue reading “Books On Our Floor #3”
A Camping Adventure
We took our girlies camping! Here is the story of our weekend at Punderson State Park. Of course, if you go camping, you should arrive late and set up and make supper all in the dark. Just kidding. Don’t. But… we’re used to it by now. 😉 Ben did a fantastic job loading the van,Continue reading “A Camping Adventure”
Overheard at Mt. Sinai
God and Moses are having a little face to face conversation: Moses: If I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. God: My presence shall go with thee, and IContinue reading “Overheard at Mt. Sinai”
To-Do List
“What are you planning to do today?” my Ben asked me over breakfast. “Oh, I don’t know. Just staying home… there’s a bunch of laundry and I guess I have that blood donation appointment this afternoon, however that works out.” Fact #1: I haven’t written anything on my to-do list yet for today. Fact #2:Continue reading “To-Do List”
Mercy Extended
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. John 3:17 AMP I usually accept this verse as a recipient: “Thank You, God, for offeringContinue reading “Mercy Extended”
Books On Our Floor #2
Yup. There are still books on our floor over here. And yes. Some of them are mine. I mentioned the Brighter Winter Challenge in my last post about books. That post covered January’s books, and now here are the ones I read for the February challenge. And… that wraps up the winter challenge list! SinceContinue reading “Books On Our Floor #2”
To Fight for Joy
Is that a thing? Feels like an oxymoron; those words should only co-exist as opposites, rather than in a single thought, one working for and with the other. Disclaimer: I am far, far, from having any of this figured out. What follows are a just few of the thoughts I’ve been tossing around lately. GoContinue reading “To Fight for Joy”
Books On Our Floor
Yeah, I know books shouldn’t be on the floor, but if they’re lying about, that means they’re the favorite ones actually being read, not? Raelynn loves books. Her days begin and end and thrive with books. Hence, our floor is almost never without a book, or two, or a dozen. And I guess I’m justContinue reading “Books On Our Floor”
Saturday Snippets – January 15, 2022
Hello from our frosty little corner of the world! We’re just over here trying to stay warm, keeping busy with daily life, and enjoying good gifts from God! • Hatching chicks – Here’s our latest adventure. It’s time to add to our flock (and to delete some old hens) so we decided we’d hatch outContinue reading “Saturday Snippets – January 15, 2022”
