Taking Inventory

This Spring has turned our world upside down, hasn’t it?  So many changes all at once.  So many challenges about how to navigate schooling, work, living in masks, and now how to re-enter society.  And crazy enough, I don’t know if I am ready to move on out of this time of a home-bound, restricted, …

A Marathon of Discomfort

This past weekend I was suppose to run a marathon. Instead, I ran a sunny, laughter filled 11 miles with my running partners.  Like many Spring plans, training came to a screeching halt 9 weeks ago when I could no longer run the long miles with my running partner, and the uncertainty of race day …

Un-Wasted Suffering

I have had two sweet friends this Spring lose babies due to miscarriage.  I say due to miscarriage because that is the medical name given when the baby dies in utero.  But is that really what is the cause?  Every once in a while my kids ask why our third child died in miscarriage. How …

Is There Purpose in Pain and Suffering? Part 1

2020 will be a year for the history books.  A year that will change our entire world.  A year that woke us all up to the value of hand washing with soap (Yes, kids, I really did mean use soap.  Sigh.).  A year where families regained all the missed time together due to busy schedules.  …

#365daysofselfcare

Hitting Bottom Last November, I sat in tears with my son’s therapist, at the residential treatment center where he had been living for over a year.  Lack of sleep that week had turned into despair, as we continued to face uncertainty about whether or not he could move home. The despair began to snowball into …

Tracing Rainbows

“O Joy, that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be.” George Mattheson’s hymn, “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go” has been a constant thread in my head these last few …

The Mover of Mountains

To the Mover of Mountains: I see you. I see your mountains, your majestic peaks Your breathtaking vistas that you have painted With a hand that can wield a sword And can wipe a tear In the power of the storm And in the lacey labyrinth of a snowflake In your detailed care of creation …

Easter Reflections

Besides when my kids were little and Easter Egg hunts were the cutest thing in the world, Easter Day did not seem too different than any other Sunday. I suppose COVID-19 exasperated the monotony of the day, and the lack of desire to actually go out and SHOP for anything Easter related.  Although I suppose …

Whether you are looking for music lessons, or here to find encouragement, I am glad you have stopped by! My writing touches on topics of parenting special needs, living with mental health struggles, juvenile delinquency, living with Lupus, spiritual reflection and Biblical teaching. Like a typical Enneagram 3, I have my hands in a lot of pots (too many my husband would say!), and am learning along with the rest of you, how to fully be who God has created me to be.
