I’m learning a lot about faith right now. A lot. I’m in that in-between season. In-between when God makes you a promise and you see the fulfillment. I know it’s coming. It’s almost here. I’m believing in faith that He is going to do what He said. Of course He will. He cannot lie and […]
The sun coming out after a long winter of clouds, cold, snow—and more snow—is such a welcome sight! It’s amazing how much better it makes me feel. I didn’t necessarily feel like I was “down” before, but my spirits get a definite lift when the sky is blue and the sun is bright. I am […]
Ever feel like you’re “between a rock and a hard place?” Yeah, me too. Not fun times. There is pressure and stress and the constant temptation to keep our eyes fixed on the problem instead of the One who can solve that problem. Even though we would never volunteer for these moments, these are the […]
New Season This is the beginning of a great week for Scott and me. It’s the beginning of a great season. He’s been working in North Dakota for the past 4 1/2 years. He would work over there for two weeks, be home here in MT for five days, and then gone again. He would […]
I love football! Oh yes, I do! I’m already excited for the Super Bowl, even though we don’t know who’s playing yet. I’m also holding back sadness for the long stretch of months after the Big Game when there will be no football games. *sniff* There’s lots of life lessons in football, but one of […]

Raise your hand if you’re a planner. Anyone out there like to be organized and know what’s going to happen next? Even if you’re more laid back and “go with the flow,” many of us don’t like surprises. Even little ones. But if we want to walk in the Spirit, we need to stay flexible. […]
If you and I lived in a different time and we woke up in a tent on the hard ground in the middle of a vast encampment of soldiers and were told to get ready because today was the day of battle, we would jump up and scramble to find our armor and most importantly, […]
It’s Friday. Do you ever get to Friday and think, “Well, it’s the end of the week. I can’t get that much done now. It’s too late.” Actually, (you may not want to hear this!) Friday is just as good as Monday. It just doesn’t feel like it because our mind is already headed toward […]
