Sorry to leave you hanging
Wow, where did the last 5 days go? I wrote about waiting out my sister’s brain surgery and then got caught up in all manner of things and forgot to write about the outcome. My sister came through her surgery beautifully. The neurosurgeon was able to remove 95% of the tumor in about 6 hours of surgery. She has surpassed all expectations for her recovery and she headed home this afternoon. God is so good. He assured me she would be fine and she is. God is faithful and He can always be trusted. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” ...
Read MoreTo Ask or Not To Ask, is Always the Question
It’s hard to ask for favors. It’s even harder to be in a position where you have to continually ask because your situation warrants it. I know. I wish I didn’t but I know. Last year when we had three cars and four drivers, I didn’t have my car very often. Usually my younger son would need it for school. Because my youngest daughter is homeschooled and we’re home a lot, that worked out fine. He could even run a few errands after school for me. It wasn’t until we had one vehicle commit suicide that we ran into problems. After months – difficult months...

My sister is in surgery right now. The description the surgeon gave to her husband of how he will get to the brain tumor isn’t a pretty one. He gave him the list of possible outcomes, some of which are not pleasant, just before they wheeled her away. I’m keeping strong by praying and loading up on the carbs. It’s just what I do best. I’m believing God too though! I’m believing for a quick, perfect recovery, the tumor to be benign, and for family members to come to know Christ through this journey. When my sister was being wheeled off to surgery she told her...
Read MoreIs there anything too hard for God?
My world is being shaken yet I stand on His firm foundation. I can’t even imagine how it’s possible to make it through tough times without the Lord to lean on. I need Him like crazy right now and oh, He is so faithful. A week ago, at Bible study, a woman there told us her husband lost his job for doing the right thing. Their home came with the job and they have just weeks to move. She voiced her concern about being homeless. Homeless? Not a member of my church family. Never. I assured her that our home was open to her family of five if they needed us. It wasn’t the only...
Read MoreA Step of Faith
Last night, my husband and I went to an informational meeting about becoming foster parents. We’ve been mulling over the idea for quite some time. I’m going to be honest and say that I can not, without a doubt, say that God has told us to do this. I know that we both feel lead to foster parent. Being even more honest would mean that I would admit that I feel more lead than him. But I don’t feel like getting that honest with you right now. Foster parenting is one of the changes I’ve been alluding to over the last few posts. I wasn’t going to write about it until...
