Perceive It



I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.
Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don't you perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and open flowing streams in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19

God morning! My white and red blood cells and neutrophils were too low for me to receive chemo today so chemo #4 has been rescheduled for Friday, March 19.
I've been preparing for a bump in the road and am at peace. As much as I want to motor through chemo and end on planned date of April 23, I recognize God has a plan and His timing is best 🕊
Thank you for continuing to support and love me and my family. I am humbled and honored by your faithful outpouring. I love you each of you SO MUCH! 💕
God is speaking and moving - always. Even yesterday, before my appointment and the news of this setback, He prepared me through this devotion. All glory to God!

Your difficulties have shaped you, but they will not define you. By creation and by redemption, you are mine! I have set my seal over your heart, and now I display you to the world as my very own masterpiece of love. I have placed my glory over your life and called you my radiant one!
The strength to endure life’s trials and pressures flows from my life within you. Agree with my truth and remember you can do all things because of my strength within you. When you speak out of your identity in me, the surging power of my Spirit will lift you high.
Find your pleasure in me, your true identity. The more you delight in me, the freer I am to unleash my glory in your situation. Others will find your flaws, but I have found your virtue. Never doubt the burning love I have placed within your soul. In that flame, you will find me, and you will hear my voice whisper to you. Beloved, I am your true identity.
Philippians 4:13
I find the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.

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
