This card came in the mail yesterday. From Selah’s doctor up at the Children’s Hospital. She remembers every year. Just one word– Selah, To pause and value. And I went walking with some friends this morning and one said– “It’s not that you miss the person less… It’s that around you, life fills (with [Read More...]
Just stopping in for a quick hello… It’s a been a strange last 30 days. Since Valentine’s Day– One virus-bug-infection-something-yuck after another and a few weeks ago I completely lost my voice. And it felt like I lost my voice too. My writing voice. Just nothing. I’m the kind of person who would rather go [Read More...]
I typed the title in error. And I hit publish, before the post was done. But that’s what it is– the eMatrix. A maze that I’m still untangling. And my sister-in-law asked me to write this post… About iPhones-returned and trying to live out an example for these little ones with eyes always watching. [Read More...]
“The secret to good writing, is good living in secret.” ~ Ann Voskamp I’ve been a little quiet over here the past few weeks, but it’s because life has been very, very full of a lot of– LIFE. I decided at the beginning of December that I needed a little Break. Rest. Pause. [Read More...]
Dear Everyone We Love, This is the letter that should have gone out with the Christmas card that you may have already received, may not receive if I didn’t update my address book correctly, or that you may receive twice if I didn’t remember to mark your name off our list the first time I [Read More...]
Thanksgiving was thank-full. Just how I prayed it would be. We were with people we love and the time felt like an overflowing of God’s kindness. Yesterday I was sharing over at The Better Mom about my journey of “leaving Massah” to a heart of thankfulness. It would mean a lot to me if you [Read More...]
…have a set-weekly-date-night with my guy (thanks to the Awana program). The big kids are old enough to stay home, but we needed a spot for Lydia. She absolutely loved it last week and when she woke up this morning she asked me if we could do more of her “Cubbies homework”. I love that [Read More...]
These Chuppdate Updates are supposed to happen on a regular basis… But I think it has been a while. See– “Chickens, Cheetos, & Colsons” or “I’m Thankful the Redbox Was Broken” And today my mom’s email was titled– “Anybody there?” And her content was– “Hey? Where are you guys?” So this is a post [Read More...]
Because– It meant we took a long bike ride. Me and our Little #3, Riding to the nearest other Redbox to turn in our movies. I gave him the choice… Of either walking back and driving… Or taking our bikes and– He chose his pedals. And I’m so glad. On the way there we heard a herd [Read More...]
Lydia is sick. And this is what I attempted to offer her for breakfast. And yes…those are Cheetos… I was getting desperate. (But she said she was only hungry for pickles.) She has been running a 103-105 temp since Sunday night… And so we’re just hanging around today (taking luke-warm-baths) and I decided it was a good time [Read More...]
