Have you ever wondered if God cares about the little things in your life that are important to you? About 4 years ago on mother’s day, my husband gave me and planted several rose bushes. I love roses. Well, after the roses were planted he was deployed to Iraq. I spent countless hours watering, fertilizing, […]

All week leading up to Good Friday I have had a such humble appreciation for what Jesus done for me.  How He went to the cross and took all of my sins upon Him. He was beaten, mocked, whipped, and died the most horrible excruciating death. He was crucified, so that I may live.  My spirit has […]

I have to tell you about something that is going on at my church this week and I’m super excited about it. We are having 11 Easter gatherings in 5 different cities (LaCenter, Eddyville, Metropolis, Calvert, and Paducah) with Four Rivers Church! I can honestly say that I have never seen a church who cares […]

I love to watch my children’s faces when I tell them that I love them.  Their eyes light up, they smile big, and you can tell that I just made their day.  Daniel will then get into a I love you more war and then laugh when I finally give up and tell him that  he wins.  […]

Hey everyone! I’m back! Yeah, yeah I know, you are probably falling over in your chair right now and believe me it has been a long road for me to be able to be back! As most of you may know, we moved into our new house and spent our first night here on Thanksgiving […]

Daniel has to learn a couple of songs for Christmas for Church. So last sunday they gave all the kids a cd to listen to and practice singing.  Daniel has never really liked to sing that much, at least in front of anyone. Every now and then I will catch him singing along with KLOVE, […]

Jacob and I have always felt that our home needs to be a place of refuge. A safe place for anyone who walks through the doors. We want people to feel God’s presence and peace when they walk into our hosue. If you remember a few chapters back I have touched on this topic, but I want to elaborate […]

Just recently my family has been going through some major changes. Changes that I never wanted to happen.  Changes that I know people have gone through before and I never could understand how they could with such joy, but now I know.  God has called us to leave our Church.  Saying that still tugs at […]

One of the top reasons given when you ask a teen or adult why they do not want to come to Church, is because of hypocritical people. Not because there’s not enough members, programs, potlucks, etc.  It’s because of hypocrites.  Let that sink in for just a minute.  Hurts doesn’t it? This should break our hearts. […]
