Japanese Girls

Tuesday Tunes (Sept. 30) My Desire

Chris Tomlin and Jeremy Camp are the 2 artists I’ve been listening to a lot lately.  Their songs touch a special place in my heart.  As I sing along, I find that I’m really singing my heart’s longing and desire. Today I’m listening to another Jeremy Camp song called “My Desire.”  I want to be [...]

Sunday: A day of worship, a day of rest

I really enjoy Sundays.  We’ve made it a priority to attend church each Sunday and then to “honor” the sabbath and rest on Sunday afternoons.   This has made such a huge difference in my life that I find myself sometimes in the midst of a hurried week actually looking forward to Sunday.  I look [...]

Time with God

What does it look like to spend time with God?   That’s what I’ve been thinking about for the past few days, and I still don’t have an answer.  However, our small group of ladies had a very special time with God on Monday night.  We spent one hour in personal prayer and worship.  I [...]

Celebrating my “Little Light”

It’s so hard to believe that another year has gone by….my sweet little B is now 6.  Six short years have flown by and she’s growing up.  As I sit in awe of the changes over the past year, I’m amazed at her sweet, sweet spirt and her sensitivity to spiritual things.   She’s the [...]

My vocation

Drumroll, please!  I’ve taken the plunge and decided to blog.  This is my first post, and I’ll make it short.  I’m truly blessed to be a mom, and I think I’ll write about it.  For starters,  our community group is reading a book called Serious Times by James Emery White (not a light easy read, [...]
