This…equals this. I am grateful everyday for Emily for more reasons than I can usually count. Today I was grateful that she counts as ‘two or more persons’ in order for me to qualify for the carpool lane. Em and I are in CA with Jason for a few days while he works. The traffic […]
Jason wanted to make sure that I posted pictures of some of our peaches this year in his own defense of taking the chainsaw to the peach tree a few years back. (See http://noahsteven.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-day-four-years-ago-i-was-sitting-in.html) 1″I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, […]
July 11th If Emily looks older in the above picture than she did yesterday, it’s because she’s 5…but it’s also because she learned about Noah today… I did not intend for it to happen this way, but on the way home from dinner it was just the two of us in the car. (Jason had […]
Something strange that has happened in the last year is my aversion to grocery shopping. Em and I used to go regularly on Wednesdays or every other Wednesday before Noah was born. It was our routine. She would grab one of those mini kid size carts and follow me around the store, the whole time […]
One day, four years ago, I was sitting in the kitchen on the phone with a friend. I heard a chainsaw outside and looked out the side window. Much to my dismay, Jason was outside ‘trimming’ our amazing peach tree. The tree the year before had yielded hundreds of peaches, but it was too overgrown […]
At a traditional bath house B & B in Japan eating dinner with our contacts. Yummy veggies at the open air market in London. Some people think sickness is only spiritual. Others think it is strictly genetic makeup, while others believe it is brought on through repeated self-destructive behaviors. I personally believe it can be […]
Exposure…I blurred out my face and my friend’s husband’s face because my intent is not to point fingers or drag his name through the mud, though I am inclined to do so, presently, as a protective friend. I’d like to blur out his face for real, though I know it’s more productive for me to […]
I feel compelled to share… God reminded me of a ‘scene’ from my life when I was 16, living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At the time I did not learn the lesson. It wasn’t until years later, in my later years of college and from then on, that I truly started walking in what God […]
First things first…Nick is doing so much better! He’s out of the ICU and has been able to have visitors, though his daughters want to see him so badly and haven’t been able to due to fevers and sniffles…another thing we can add to the prayer list. The docs are still waiting for lab results, […]
“You’ve never truly lived until you give something to someone for which you can never be repaid.” -Unknown Today we are going to Florida. We have been given a tremendous blessing and will be spending a few days in Celebration and some at St. Pete’s beach. Our pastor and his wife are friends with some […]
