💗”How did you know that your husband was the one?”💗 This question made me pause and think. It definitely requires a lot of prayer and being sensitive to the Lord…but is there any other advice? Before my husband and I dated, I already had a “character list” in my heart of what I felt wasContinue reading “How To Know He Is THE One”

New Sheet Music
As the Lord allows, I am trying to make sheet music available to all my songs. Because of our travels and not always having a piano nearby, it is taking me much longer that I had hoped. But the Lord has given me an opportunity to complete the sheet music to the song, “Because ofContinue reading “New Sheet Music”
Lessons I’ve Learned as a Mom
“What are your greatest child training tips?” Every time someone asks me this, my mind draws a blank! I am not an expert, nor do I have the answers. In fact, it feels like the more kids I have had, even the answers I thought I had no longer seem to work. But recently whenContinue reading “Lessons I’ve Learned as a Mom”
A Handmade Christmas
I love crafts and diys! My home is filled with things I have made with my own hand, and Christmas is no different!

Good Books Are Like Godly Counsellors
I was an avid reader all growing up, really up until I had kids. I just couldn’t find time when I had so many little ones running around and needing so much.

When Distress Comes

I have a choice. No one is making me serveContinue reading “For a Seed to Grow”

BUT GOD KNEW, and has been preparing our hearts over the last year. As some of you know, the LordContinue reading “Where He Leads”
Bid Me To Come
My husband preached this message the other night on Matthew 14:28. Peter from the boat, saw Jesus walking on the water. He said those words, “Bid me to come!” He saw the stormy waters. He was safe in the boat. Yet he wanted that opportunity to walk on the water. So he asked to leaveContinue reading “Bid Me To Come”
Sometimes Through the Storms
As the plane took off in Evansville, the skies were clear blue with cotton clouds in the skies. It was absolutely beautiful! I could not help but think of how great the Lord is, how He would be mindful of me, so small! Only about 5-6 hours before I would be home! After a briefContinue reading “Sometimes Through the Storms”
