I read this story years ago when Mark and I were dating. I was thinking about it today and thought I would share it.
The Pearl Necklace
A cheerful girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in [...]
During the week, I keep a sweet little girl, Allie Grace. I have enjoyed it. Many say it is good preparation for Trey but I don’t know because, seriously, she is perfect! She listens, obeys, and is already on a perfect schedule.
She is three so she is in that “Why” phase. If you have been [...]
Yesterday I had a break down in Walmart. Mark and I were discussing what we needed to do to get ready to put the house up for sale. He suggested keeping the guest bedroom as a guest bedroom and putting all of Trey’s accumulating things in my parent’s basement. As soon as he said that [...]
I love music. I have found sometimes I have no words for God only a song. These are two songs that have become prayers.

So I don’t know if this is too personal for a blog but….Mark and I want to adopt. I guess I should not even use the word “want” because we are. God called us and has strongly put it on our heart. And I guess to go ahead and prepare those of you who we know [...]
Tonight we talked about worship with the youth. We did something I have not done in a while that I thought would be good to share.
We sat for just one minute and reflected quietly on God. We did not thank Him what He has done in our lives or others. We just completely put all [...]
Something I have been struggling with lately is spending consistent, alone time with God in the morning.
