Grace upon grace. That’s what it felt like during our year of waiting on God after having four miscarriages. Everywhere I turned, there He was, rich with mercy. Gently He put lessons on my heart.

Another throw back blog from Seth’s baby years. ❤️ Our beautiful little boy is a lover of the great outdoors. Being outside is his favorite! He enjoys waving to each car that drives by, finding colorful flowers, seeing Papa’s cows. But he is also is very independent. He wants to run and run and he... Continue Reading →
This poem was written by my sister and fit well for the Easter season. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂 I was born into very lowly means. I came to a world that did not receive Me. I healed the sick, the blind, the lame. But this was not my purpose; this was not why I... Continue Reading →
