Our little boy had his first day in church yesterday. If you are a long time reader of this blog, you know I’ve had several discussions about kids in worship, etc. I’ve battled with it in my head after having Eli, but I know this to be good for us. Eric leads the worship - [...]

31Days: Another New Life Verse (Day 20)
Many verses are having a new impact on my heart and actions this month - my first of having sweet e here with us. Phil 2.14a: Do all things without grumbling. This goes for midnight, or 2am, or 5am feedings. This goes for not complaining when my husband gets home a little late from the [...]

Our sweet little boy turned a month old on Friday! Yay! He is still crying and gives me some sleep at night. The most we have slept is 6 hours in a row. He loves to walk around with someone (of course he can’t walk yet). He is making all sorts of sounds and we [...]

I haven’t had a lot of time to read since having Elijah, but definitely wanted to read this one. I love everything Kevin DeYoung. I know, call me a groupy or what have you. But, I forward many of his blogs to my husband who is a worship pastor. One of our goal trips is [...]

Sorry this didn’t get posted yesterday - my host server or something was having issues and I couldn’t get on here to write! I pray many new prayers and more often than I did before I was a mother. They aren’t as long and written down as they were before, but they are more aloud: [...]

Today begins a new year of life: no, not for me - for my brother. I have an older brother. He is 14 months older than me. Things I love about him: 1. His sense of sarcasm (most of the time) 2. His ability to write so much better than me. 3. The fact that [...]

Today was the first day of being at our new church. We got a warm welcome, the “right hand of fellowship” as Baptists call it - but this isn’t a Baptist church. Heard a great sermon by the missions pastor from 1 Cor 3 on not taking any boast or division in man - but [...]

I get to brag today. I get to brag on my sweet husband. I had to spend the night without him because he was/is at an Elder’s retreat. As our pastor’s wives shared about their wonderful husbands - it gave me much more of an appreciation for mine. I love bragging on him - because [...]

I just returned from my first ever pastoral retreat - with wives of course since I’m not a pastor. We went with the other 4 pastors/wives to Heber Springs, AR which is about 90 minutes from LR. We stayed at the Red Apple Inn. It was an inn with beautiful grounds overlooking a lake and [...]
