A Lesson from a Peach

September 2, 2018 Leave a Comment

Sometimes God convicts us in the most unusual ways.  Walking this life of faith often allows me to be vulnerable and willing to learn a lesson from Him, when I least expect it. This weekend my family went to a local farm and did our annual peach picking. Growing up on the coast, I never had the … [Read more...] about A Lesson from a Peach

Faith and Water

June 26, 2018

I woke up yesterday to a bit of sadness.  My sweet 7 year old had faithfully awaken each morning the past week and checked on two cups in our front window.  Inside of them were tiny seeds that had sprouted and tender plants that had begun to grow toward the sky.  Oh how he was excited … [Read more...] about Faith and Water

    I remember my parents and grandparents telling us I remember my parents and grandparents telling us stories about the storms they endured. This is one of ours.

The 2021 historic ice storm of Valentines weekend where we watched massive trees explode like shrapnel. 

Where power was knocked out for days and roads were closed as people attempted to recover from what looked like a war zone.

Where prayers were prayed for protection and comfort each night by the light of the fireplaces, candles, and lanterns.

Where we saw Jesus show up in the kindness of humanity with chainsaws, hot coffee, and generators.

Where we cried with each other behind COVID masks and we knew that we would rise again. 

The place we saw God whisper His presence and remind us that we are better together. The place we were reminded that strength comes from hard and we will endure.

This is our history and our story to tell.  #family #workingmom #faithoverfear #hope #familyiseverything
