"LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." Psalm 16:5-6


Ours is a story of what God can do with two silly teens, starting off with no clue;

And baby thrown in, just for good measure. We didn’t know that God would increase our treasure

With four added on in rapid succession, filling our lives with joy and hard lessons.


We’ve had our share of valleys and hills, of times of abundance, and unpaid bills.

We once thought success would bring us bliss; we’ve learned that loss does a better job of this,

As we lean on our Savior, Who always delivers, regardless of the size of our quiver.


Although we’re grateful for the times of ease, the hard times are useful for learning to please

Our Heavenly Father, learning to walk in His Truth, of which we often talk.

May the Lord help us humbly and faithfully serve, staying mindful that the next generation observes.


Prop up your feet and grab a cup of coffee or tea while I open up

The book of my life, without further ado, and narrate the musings of my heart to you.

Cooling My Jets

Light Up Night, Pittsburgh 2010

We have had many pleasant things going on these days. Since arriving back in the States, our schedule has been quite busy and very full of many blessings. Still, I feel that I can't seem to get my act together, and there are several things amiss in my daily routine. For that reason, dear friends, I must take a break from blogging. I fear that when I start again, no one will know and I won't have any readers. (*sigh*) I must take that risk. My schedule depends on it.

I'm not sure how long my break will last - perhaps a week; perhaps a few months. When I return, I hope to have useful and edifying things to share with you all. Until then, may the Lord bless and keep you!

  6. I understand!! As a VERY sporadic blogger I know what you mean about lack of readers but there are so many more important things for wives and mothers to be doing. Enjoy your family and enjoy ordering your priorities in the way the Lord leads.

  10. I was just recently admiring godly homemakers who keep to their priorities and do not let "internetting" interfere! So, although we will miss you, it's another reason to appreciate you and what you present on your blog! May the Lord continue to richly bless your home and your family. And may these days be exciting as you organize and celebrate the lovely days of this season. (And at least four readers will be around when you return!)
