The halls echo with a strange familiarity. The routine. Tests, scans, dr's visits. Forced date days. Side by side in waiting rooms. Small cubicles. Waiting; for tests, for results, for decisions. Side by side. Usually, I am eager to send out updates. To include the larger circle. For prayer. For support. This time. I couldn't. I couldn't type the words. I couldn't make the phone calls. I think the journey has just become too weary. But how can that be? We serve a Mighty God. A God who has allowed all things to filter first, through His hands. If I am walking hand in hand ...

Listen
The discussions. Is that what they're called? Posts. So negative. So mean. Vindictive. Not a trace of a desire to discuss. Shouts. Loud expressions of self. Face book. A platform. To speak. Unedited. Uncensored. Why? Life is changed, when you go. Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." When you teach. When you Love. There is One King and ... View Post
The Definition of Love
“God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things.... In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strength or our brains but simply because He has made us.” -Corrie Ten Boom The Hiding Place I Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (emphasis mine) ... View Post
The Day I Lost Hope. . .
We sat at that farmhouse table, gathering documents. In the morning they would head out to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Months of planning, accepting donations, prayers. The final details. Prepared. Until the farm boy joked. He threw out the idea. "What if the passports were expired?" The seed of doubt; quickly became a reality. The college girl and farm boys passports would expire while they were in Haiti. The farm boy, brushed it off. We just need to trust. This farm mama began a journey new to her. I searched the internet for all information I possibly could find. I ... View Post
They’re Going Again. Will You Walk With Us?
The idea surfaced time and time again. The plans never took root. Too many obstacles. Until. 2013. The death of a son and cancer renewed the fire with a fervency. With a network of prayer the plan unfolded. 3 times now the Lord has opened the door and allowed my farmer and children to serve in Haiti. This week they will return to this country. Each time my farmer leaves, a community is roused to allow him to go. Bathed in prayer; Milking, chores, finances, supplies all covered by those who rally around us. They're going again. Haiti. To serve. To build. Hearts ... View Post
‘Seeing’, What Lies Ahead
A new year has begun. Unmarred. Fresh. New. These past few years have been hard. The passing of the old, a reminder of time. Time moving forward without those we have loved so dearly. Learning how to live; differently. Breathing. In and out. One foot in front of the other. Searching for hope. Choosing joy. Standing on solid ground. I will admit it has been a hard year. Folks have moved on. Their lives not impacted much by the loss. Our loss. Another grief walk, as we said Good Bye to my dad. All while life is ebbing forward. I find it hard to commit. Staying on task has ... View Post
