"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.

Y'all! Check This Out!


I love to glean from talented people. E at Pink Suede Shoe is one of those people. Not only does she do amazing projects for Sew & Tell Fridays, but just check out her recipe for this lovely snack pictured here! OK. That's all I have to say. I need a shower.

  1. Thanks for stopping by "In His Grip". You will love the tunic pattern, in fact I have another idea for it as well.

  2. That is so cool! We just made both of those on Thursday. Joanna had the pumpkin dip recipe and I made the chips to go with fruit salsa; but some people at the Bible studies dipped their chips in the dip. ...'Tis the season. :)

  4. This just became one of our appetizers for Thanksgiving! It has to be super yummy because we are going to have a house full of Germans who are wondering "Just what the heck is this Thanksgiving thing all about!?!"
