It’s September, people. And I’m not talking ‘beginning of the school year, late summer’ September. I’m talking ‘almost October, beginning of fall’ September. That’s right. As much as you and I both want to pretend Christmas is still months and months away… it’s only months away! Along with the fun of planning holiday activities, making homemade decorations and dragging out the lights comes the joys of Christmas shopping! (can you see the fake smile plastered ... continue reading...

a lesson in waiting…
Over the many years of my marriage, God has been giving myself and my husband lessons in patience and waiting. Admittedly, we rarely pass the test. I don’t know why we have such a hard time learning this lesson but it’s definitely been one of the biggest challenges we’ve faced. Let me give you a few examples.
