I’m a Name Dropper
Years ago I had a chance meeting with someone really quite famous. For years afterward everyone I was acquainted with was told every detail of our meeting. No one escaped this story. No roll of the eyes or turn of the head could deter me. I was quite proud of our encounter; I had actually met someone that most have only heard of and I became quite the name dropper. Stop me if I’ve told you this story before… It was the mid-eighties; you know big hair, big nails, and a time when if your jeans were almost too narrow at the bottom to get your size 5 foot through, you were styling. Julian and...

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 MoreWaiting It Out
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...

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...
Read MoreInside and Out
It’s an absolutely beautiful day today. The sun is shining. The cold wind of the past few days has turned into a warm, light breeze. If it were 15 degrees warmer we’d have complete perfection happening outside. It’s an absolutely beautiful day inside too. For reasons maybe only God can explain it is a day filled with hope. Do you have those days often? I don’t believe they could ever come often enough for me. I’m home alone. It’s just so incredibly quiet and my mind is filled with thoughts of purpose and planning. I know that God is doing a work in our...
