Finding Life beyond the struggles
The third and fourth chapters of Job begin the speeches, the back and forth between Job and his three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite; Bildad the Shuhite; and Zophar the Naamathite. In these two chapters we see the grief of man and the steadfastness of God. It is a rhythm and flow that is experienced throughout... Continue Reading →

Good day everyone. How was your Labor Day holiday? I had half a holiday, I guess? Hubby was home for most of the day and went into work after nap time, but since I'm not a morning person I think it worked out well.

When I did have time to collect myself, I was so mentally exhausted that I had nothing to contribute. So... Continue Reading →
On Monday morning, Hubby asked the kids if they would like to go to Chili's then watch fireworks this weekend. The keywords being this weekend. Ade turned to me and asked, "We're going to Chili's tonight?" He had half-listened to the conversation, picked out the words that interested him most, and tuned out the rest,... Continue Reading →

You must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you [the lives of] all those who are sailing with you.'Apostle Paul (Acts 27:23-24 amp) Can you imagine being... Continue Reading →
Right before we bought and moved into our house, the previous owners had it remodeled. I'm not sure of the extent to which it was remodeled, but I do know that it was painted and new flooring installed. I just remember walking in and my eyes landing on the fireplace. I've always wanted a fireplace.... Continue Reading →
