Friday night, Hubby & I had a date night. Mark Gungor, author of “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage” came to Fort Bragg to do a free show for the military. He had spent the week traveling to a few different Army posts and we were his last stop. If you have not heard …

My Journey to Surrender
I really don’t know why it took me so long to get to that place I talked about in my previous post. That place called Surrender. I’ve had an open invitation to go there for quite some time, but I’ve been ignoring it. Let me go back to Summer 2011. Rob had been deployed for a …
A Beautiful Mess
Be careful what you ask for! A couple days ago, I was thinking about how nice it would be to have an entire day to spend in bed. A whole day to read books, write, pray and talk to God, and just rest & be lazy with no scheduled appointments, errands to run or places …
Happy Thanksgiving 2012
I know I’m a few days late, but I wanted to share with you how our family celebrated Thanksgiving this year. It was our first Thanksgiving completely on our own as a family of 3. For most of our marriage, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving with our parents – usually with both sides of the family coming …
My Serenity Place
I love our home. While I did enjoy our time living on post the first year we were here, I am truly thankful that the Lord led us to this house to rent off-post. It’s just far enough away from the main city without being too far away. It’s in an older neighborhood, which I …
JRTC – One Week Down
My beloved has been away for a week now, and while I know I shouldn’t complain lest any of my readers who have deployed spouses may hunt me down and tie me up with Duct Tape and 550 cord – I miss him! I know, it’s only been a week. I survived a deployment with him on …
Can you lick your elbow?
This morning while I was in the shower, Emily came running into the bathroom. “Mommy!?” “Yes?” “You know how they say it’s impossible to lick your own elbow? Well, I can almost do it!! Do you want to see it?” “Ummm, not right this minute. I’m a little busy. (Did she not hear the water …
Lessons from a Pumpkin
This morning during our homeschool time, Emily and I were talking about pumpkins. I simply adore the season of Autumn, so this time of year we try to include pumpkins in as many ways as possible. Pumpkin math, pumpkin pucks, books about pumpkins, pumpkin smoothies, and homemade paleo pumpkin spice lattes (oh wait, those are just for …
JRTC – Take 2
Yesterday at O-Dark-Thirty, I woke Emily up out of a deep sleep so we could buckle her in the car, take Rob to work and say goodbye for the next month. He’s off to JRTC again. My husband is the King of Packing! Seriously. When we go camping, he always amazes me with his ability to make everything …
Lost on the map of life?
This morning in my quiet time, I was reading in Deuteronomy where Moses is recapping to the Israelites all that they have been through while traveling through the desert from Egypt since God rescued them from slavery. The Israelites had trouble trusting God many times during their time in the desert. Even at the end, …
