Our Puppy Story!
When my daughter was about five years old, she was begging for a puppy. I flippantly said, “maybe when you’re ten.” That solidified as a promise in her mind. Ever since then, she has randomly told people that she was going to have a dog when she was 10 years old.
Well, my friends, she turns ten in June! Crazy, crazy how fast time goes.

I’ve got stories to tell. Things have been happening but I’ve been MIA for awhile. I’ve also been home with some health problems for the past 5 days. I haven’t written in awhile and thought maybe today.
- My house story
- My puppy story
- My health journey
I don’t, He does
My daughter is struggling again with health. We thought the Celiac disease would be the answer – and of course it is AN answer, but not the only one. Something else is going on too and I have no idea what it is. Her stomach issues are out of control again, she’s in pain, fear is abounding and I. Don’t. Know. What. To. Do.
Read MorePower Pictures
Today’s post is a series of pictures that I am printing to help hold myself accountable, to stay encouraged, and keep my focus on God’s power and not my own. Most of them are verses taken from Romans 7 and 8 and are in my blog from yesterday. I believe there is power in having the word in front of us as much as possible and I also believe in pairing affirmations/God’s word with pictures that evoke good feelings in us. Many of the verses I put with pictures of myself… because these are God’s promises to me. (And you, of course) They are pictures that make me feel good and will help me stay focused on the goal.
After the verses, there are three more quotes – the first my daughter fell in love with and the other two are quotes that I find powerful and relevant. Enjoy, friends!

Gf DF Cake Pops!
Hello, friends!
On this first day of Christmas Break, my daughter and I made gluten free and dairy free cake pops! I thought I’d write a fun post today of our adventures in baking! Or Cake pop making!
Read MoreA Barn?!
“Jesus was born in a barn?!! He slept in a food bowl for animals?!” My daughter’s utter astonishment reminded me of how easily we gloss over the Christmas story, the Christmas songs, the reality of how Jesus was born.
I can practically quote the verses of what the angels said to the shepherds that night, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:11 – 12.

I was scared to post these pictures on Facebook the other day…
You see, I’ve been trying to buy a house for almost a year. I really feel like it’s the right time and I’ve prayed over the steps we’ve gone through. We put an offer on a condo that seemed perfect and I really truly thought God has led us there. I told my prayer group about it and we were all excited.
Read MoreWhy does God allow bad things?
A precious friend is struggling with this very question. I’ve been there, too. I think most anyone who has gone through something traumatic probably has struggled or is struggling with this question.
I’m not going to answer it for you, though. I’m sorry. There are plenty of answers out there – do a google search and you will find hundreds (thousands?) of Pastors and people who study the bible who will give you their take on it. And it’s good stuff to read, but in the midst of the dark, it’s hard to understand. Sometimes, it’s hard to even hear.
