A few years ago I shared pictures of our school room and it's time for an update! We recently inherited some "new to us" furniture and so I rearranged, decluttered, and did lots of new things to our school room! **At the bottom of this post I will share a few "dilemmas" I have with our new set-up. Feel free to share suggestions if you see any ideas from the pictures! This great room that is our school room was added on to this home in the late 90's. We bought this home in 2004, so when we ...

faith and gratitude go together
I have been pondering my word of the year lately. Faith. And I started pinning faith quotes. There are some great ones! Then I came across this necklace. I love it. But, I love even more what it means... Pondering and wondering and praying that someday those that knew me will say that I was a woman of faith.

Do we say, "Your will be done." and do we mean it? Do we pray for miracles believing He can really do it? What do we hope to gain from prayer? Why do ... Read More about Does prayer really work?
monday morning praise
As I ponder the funeral service for the 2 boys in our community that was last night, I find it hard to be thankful. But, I know the joy is there. I'm feeling the heartbreak of those families who have lost their precious children. But, there is HOPE in Jesus and knowing those families will be reunited someday in heaven! I can't imagine grieving without that hope and without Jesus by my side. I'm so thankful these 2 families have that. Looking for the joy... litlte boys and ice cream ...
