Genesis 2 & 3 This morning I took time to just sit with Adam & Eve in the garden. The best part was that my sitting with them happened to be at the beach where are couple close friends and I went on a quick weekend trip. Somehow my mind is just a…
So, I’m counting backwards as you can see on this 40 day journey preparing my heart before the Lord as we await Dasah’s arrival. I’ve been in Psalm 23 for a few days now and I have to say it is chalk full of treasures! I think I’ll spend a lot of time with David…
Several weeks ago I was studying Psalm 142 using a wonderful devotional by Nancy Leigh DeMoss entitled “A 30-Day Walk With God in the Psalms“. I was beginning to become more aware of the intense loneliness that these past few months have brought and it was if the Lord was bringing those emotions to…
I haven’t posted much of what we’ve been doing to celebrate Dasah’s life, it has looked quite different from celebrating Sophie, yet has been just as sweet and we continue to enjoy seeing how God leads different people to enter into the celebration of Dasah’s life with us.

Literally, that’s where I’ve been this past month. Physically all over the place, emotionally all over the place and mentally all over the place. I haven’t written in a while partially because of that, partially because my heart has just felt weary that it seems every time I had thoughts swirling around in my head…
A little over a month ago, our friends threw us a gender reveal CARNIVAL, where we let everyone in on the big secret with a “pink” paint fight. (As a side, I say “pink” because once the paint started flying all the paint was free game… so in case you’re confused, everyone just needed ammo and…
So, we made a little video to introduce our baby girl’s name… and here’s the story behind it… “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14b There is a true story in the Bible of a woman named Esther (in the book of Esther),…
