A Charge to Keep I Have

As many of you know,  Mark and I have spent the summer days praying for wisdom about how we are called to educate our children.  Our oldest,  Andrew, will be seventeen this fall.  I have home schooled the children for a total of three years since Andrew started school eleven years ago.  The remaining years […] Read more…

The Real World

I have loved Jesus for as long as I can remember.  That’s not to my credit.  It’s just the way God made me, and the path down which He has lead me.  Perhaps, in His perfect grace, He has seen fit to allow me to remain childlike in that special place inside myself that allows […] Read more…

Changes

I am trying so hard to learn this blogging thing! I want to share our days with you, to be transparent about the daily ebb and flow of our lives, and yet I find myself holding back and looking for just the right thing share.
