This life is full of highs and lows. Hills and valleys. Mountains and canyons. Peaks and pits.

Maybe I'm being a little dramatic. BUT there is a constant … Continue reading Through Valleys and Over Mountains
The Bible
At Home in Him
"There's no place like home." The famous line from The Wizard of Oz has been on my heart for the last week or two.

So, when plans change... it can get ugly fast. Just ask my husband. Or my mom. I'm working on it, … Continue reading His Way Over Mine
