Tiramisu
Ah, one of my very favorite desserts. This is one of the more sensual here in the series (at least I think so) mainly because of its silky smooth texture. This recipe, though somewhat exotic sounding, is really rather simple to make. Pre-packaged lady fingers are key, but if you have time and want […]
31 Days of At-Home Date Night Recipes and Ideas
Marriage. It’s that thing that defines a major part of who we are. We plan for it, dream about it, and sometimes venture into it without much thought about the ‘after’. I love being married and have been now to the same man for 13 years. We’ve had our shares of ups and downs […]
We’re living the Dream
The days seem to go by in a repetitive blur – get up, shower, squeeze in some time in the Word before the kiddos greet me at 6:30, make the bed, see my husband off to work, make breakfast, do laundry, dishes, lunch, sweep, breathe, snack, supper, dishes, bedtime, REPEAT. Doesn’t sound like much of […]
Common Ground
It was hot and the zoo was teeming with people. Between our two families there were 7 children under 7. We’d left the campsite earlier that morning to enjoy the zoo that was 3 times the size of ours back home. Now I’m the type of girl who gets up everyday, like clockwork, showers, puts […]
An Unraveled Life
The yarn sits in a jumble by my feet. Ivory yarn that was once a scarf for my sister-in-law. I’ve started to unravel it to turn it into something else. You see, she never really got a chance to wear it – she died the winter after I made it for her. And now, 4 […]
The disparity between works and rewards…and getting past that
We sat in the Connections class this past Sunday evening, listening to one of the men of the church tell his story. He told of growing up in church and in various church schools, coming to Christ at an early age. I sat, fixed upon him as he talked. His story was uncannily similar to my […]
God’s Orchestra
We all have a part to play. I’m just now embracing that we all contribute to the body of Christ. Some sing, some teach, some travel the globe giving aid. But there are those of us who stand in their shadow and we wonder what light we shine compared to theirs. Just think of an […]
Putting His Interests Before Mine
Last year a friend of mine, Melissa at QuietGraces Photography, asked me to write for her series “Construction School for Wives” and this is what God laid on my heart for that month of July. This month I’m going to be working on putting Adam’s interests before mine. There are so many areas that I […]
Everyday Moments of Glory
I know a girl who is in the throes of wedding planning. She’s tall, thin, and beautiful. Pretty much my opposite. And, Lately I’ve found myself looking at the pictures she’s been posting on FB, longing for those days when I was 10+ years younger and planning a wedding. I remember being tireless, and wide-eyed with […]
