You can hear bad news and quickly jump to all the what if’s, and just that simple you are overcome with even more grief. That is why it is important for friends and family to… Continue reading Share Truth to Bless a Burdened Family
I believe the best thing you can do for a family, especially one that is experiencing any type of burden, is pray.

In January of this year, my son was diagnosed with cancer. It turned our world upside down and all of a sudden we were living day to day. Because of the aggressiveness of the cancer, we had to get treatments started right away. Every week from January 1 through the end of July, we had… Continue reading Introduction to Blessing a Burdened Family
Now that we had a home and knew we were accepted to seminary, things seemed more real. We now knew where we would be for the next 4 years of our lives, which was a totally new concept for us.

Safe. Regular. Planned. Normal. Comfort. Routine. Those are all words I like. They make me feel good. I’m the kind of girl who likes to know what’s going on and if there’s a change, give me time to adapt to it. I don’t mean 5 minutes, 24 hours at least, please. When I’m going out… Continue reading My Word for 2014
