Undefeatable Joy
Tomorrow is Christmas. The excitement in our house is palatable, and its not just the kids. Christmas is my favorite celebration and I love this whole season, which feels extra special at the end of this challenging year. It goes without saying that 2020 has been a difficult year, but to be perfectly honest, on … Continue reading Undefeatable Joy
The Crooked Camel
I first shared a version of this post in December 2015, when Natalie was younger than Hope is now. I found it recently and, as I reread what I had written five years ago, I thought it would be worth sharing again. I never could have imagined, when I first wrote those words, what the … Continue reading The Crooked Camel
What Child is This?
I have always loved the whole Christmas season. Growing up we had a number of traditions that made the weeks leading up to Christmas extra special and I looked forward to them every year. As we head into the Christmas season I'm looking forward to the traditions we've begun to establish with our girls. I'm … Continue reading What Child is This?
Prayer Detectives
This month our Little Disciples Bible study series will take a look at prayer. Your kids can become "Prayer Detectives", investigating the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, why) and an H (how) of prayer. As in previous months, we’ll be using the “RAMP up” method with prompts to read, apply, make it stick, and … Continue reading Prayer Detectives

I'd like to share it with you too! Recently, in looking at news and events going on around us, I started to … Continue reading Raising Little Disciples
The Road Goes Ever On
Nine days after her third heart surgery, our little "Wonder Woman" was discharged from the hospital. We celebrated that night with play time in our apartment and delicious local takeout for dinner, but the real celebration came the next afternoon when we arrived home and the girls were reunited. Watching their sweet hug was the … Continue reading The Road Goes Ever On
Worth It
Hope has her third heart surgery tomorrow. That's not a sentence I ever imagined or wished to write about my child. For quite a while this path that she has to walk was hard for me to accept. I kept dwelling on what her life would have, could have, and should have looked like if … Continue reading Worth It
