Gift

First off, I’m feeling a bit better than last week. I’m feeling much more secure, completely in the tender, strong hands of Christ.
I discovered something really amazing this weekend, as I’ve been “preparing my case”. It highlighted the awesome healing work that has been taking place these past couple of years.
One of the catalysts in [...]

Letters to Jenna #2

Jenna,
We are still plugging along in the licensing class, waiting for the weeks to pass until we can complete the process and bring you home. Only 8 more to go (only?).
The website that has your picture is down, so I haven’t been able to look at it in a couple of days. Yet, just as [...]

Letters to Jenna #1

I remember the first time I saw your picture. I was captivated. I envisioned you playing on the swingset in the back yard, tucking you into bed at night, throwing you a birthday party…I know we have missed a birthday during this long wait. I pray that this process moves quickly, though in God’s time, so [...]

Kids…growing up way too fast, getting very excited about the new addition coming…

Reason #17 why I love my job…

I got to witness the sweetest expression of Christian love this morning.
A girl in my Macro class has been struggling. Today I gave them classwork to prepare them for Monday’s exam. I bounced around from group to group answering questions and helping students.
As I looked around between questions, I noticed a girl who sits way back [...]

Really beating me over the head…

So after writing the previous post, two more confirmations…
At lunch, my friend commented “just keep your eyes open and minister when the need arises”.
Wow.
Then after lunch, discussing classes with a colleague, a particular student came up in our discussion. This student has been a “project” for some of my colleagues. This student is not a [...]

Pray With Us

Our family asks for prayer for my husband’s nephew, Tyler. Tyler and his brother, Timmy, both have a rare kidney disease. They had transplants several years ago. Last year, after missing some of his medications over several weeks, Tyler began rejecting his kidney, and was put on the transplant list. Last night, a donor became [...]

Prayer for a Friend

The Lamberths have been dear to us for many years. We grew together in small group, went through our first pregnancies together, and our boys have been great buddies.  Mark was in a dirt bike accident yesterday and is in very critical condition. He has severe injuries.
I’ve been wrestling in prayer all day for them. [...]
