Day 2 of “When God Speaks {or doesn’t} kicks off with a heartbreakingly beautiful story from another beloved friend, Dabney with whom I had the pleasure of working with while I was at InterVarsity.  Trigger warning for those who have lost children. ~ Last week I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl during my […]

Every year, across the world 287,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth. If that seems fairly high to you, it is. That’s one death every 2 minutes, 800 times a day across our globe.  These unborn souls need traveling mercies if anyone has ever needed it. Alemi, on the right is 25.  She lost her […]

The battle against the post baby belly rages on.  Who is winning, you ask?  ME! Well, this week at least.

My messy living room.  Or in the 4 words my friend Michelle likes to say to me often, “you doin’ too much!” Last night at about 2:20am I woke up with contractions, getting fast & more intense as the hour went on.  At first I took some Tums.  In pregnancy, it seems Tums cures everything! […]

Today is July 16.  Yikes!  Meaning I’ve got exactly 16 days left until my Sabbatical is over on Aug.1 .  I was given the glorious gift of a 12-month paid time of rest & refreshment from my normal day-to-day work.  I chose to use 8 months of that time going to school full-time.  And now, […]

So, Ransom -3.5 yrs. old mind you- apparently shared his 1st ever open mouth kiss with a hot little tamale named Viv, pictured together below.  Viv’s parents are good friends of ours.  Ran & Viv have been thick as thieves since they were born –only two weeks apart. Anyway, Dave & I didn’t witness it, […]
