The Revealing

My ovarian cancer is back.

I see my oncologist next Tuesday and will learn next steps. I am grateful to God - the great revealer and healer. I am sad, really sad, but also hopeful.
God is really using this year to reveal, not only the brokenness of the world and our tender, fragile hearts, but also to show His power, grace and love. The shaking is difficult, but I know there is fruit.
Grateful to God, for our family and friends who are family, and for the hope of heaven 💕

Our Home, His Glory

Thanksgiving Day at the Magic Kingdom {♥} Happy New Year! Sorry I haven't posted since Halloween! We went on vacation for Thanksgiving Break {our families sent us to Disney!}, Elijah played the role of Amahl in Amahl & the Night Visitors, my parents came to visit, I was room Mom for a 4th Grade Christmas party, my sister-in-law got married, Christmas & New Year happened ... and here we are! Tomorrow I'm presenting a workshop on the organized home at our church's one day women's retreat. I don't know about you but I'm obsessed with organization. If you have a blog about organizing - I'll read it; if there's a magazine article - I'll buy that magazine; a show - I'll watch it. My friend Laura shares my passion {but my friend Susie says I have a problem} <--- which I take as a compliment {♥} We have four people {two of whom are still growing!} in a home that has 1,100 square feet. Organizing is my obsession - but it's also necess

Let Love Guide {the beginning}

This is it ... after a year of praying {many starts/stops}, a miracle {more prayers ... more starting/stopping} I'm finally posting! I just updated my "About" section {which I will probably rewrite over time} and in that section I explain my reasons for creating this BLOG. Truly it's a work only God could do {and full of miracles!} My journey into this brave new world actually began about two years ago when one of my cousin's posted a BLOG giveaway on her FaceBook page. The items were beautiful and I was intrigued what store was offering such a beautiful arrangement for free. I clicked through her link and like Alice through the Looking Glass I was transported to the beautiful world of Emily Jones I fell in love with her beauty, her creativity and how open and honest she was. Even though she lives {very}far from me, she felt as close as my closest friend. And, the art prints she created resonated with me. I bought {literally} every print she offered and sign

Never Undone

I took this photo on a drive with my family. I was praying to see God, to feel Him and then I saw this in the sky and this scripture came to mind, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Thankful for a God who pursues us.[/caption] "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps." Psalms 40:1-2 Are you in a hard place? A season of your life where you wonder if anyone sees you {if they truly KNOW you} ... your friends, your family {even God} I know Christmas has come. A time of GREAT joy. But maybe that wasn't in your heart this year. Maybe you're stretched to the point of exhaustion. I understand. I've been in that space of struggle and weariness the past four months. My mi
