Have you heard him? Did you know he talks? I believed God answered prayers, but I never really thought about how. I never thought about what an answer might look like. Would it be a visible sign, something I heard, something I felt? In my young years of going to church and CCD I was... Continue Reading →
As I was scouting fields one day God showed me a magnificent gem within his creation. After school let out, I took my kids back to the field I was at. When we pulled up along the tree line, hundreds of Monarch butterflies were resting on tree branches. Many more were on the other side... Continue Reading →
I pray for my children; not every day, but quite often. I pray for our Lord to forgive them if they have sinned. I pray he blesses them, protects them, and is with them always. When I pray for my children I acknowledge they are actually God’s children, and I thank him for choosing me... Continue Reading →
In my limited spiritual experience, I have found there is a big difference between sitting in church on Sunday morning agreeing with the sermon, and actually walking with the Lord. I like to dress up and attend church! I love seeing my friends. Our children always look so handsome, especially in their Christmas outfits, and... Continue Reading →
God granted me another dream a few months after the pickup dream. My daughter, my son, and I were in a four door car driving on a two lane highway up a mountain.

Jesus cares. God cares; they care about everything. As I look back I am surprised how little and unimportant some of my prayers were, but my Lord still cared and answered. He loves us that much. God loves us so much that what is important to us is important to him. Even if it means... Continue Reading →
Surprises are fun! Well, at least they are when I don't know about them! If I know about them, then they drive me nuts. My overactive brain tries to measure and reason constantly until I can figure out the surprise, which I never do. I love to give surprises, too, but I honestly have a... Continue Reading →
Have you ever seen someone at the park trying to play a sport, but they were playing so badly you wanted to save their reputation by stopping them? Or have you ever seen anyone dancing, and you couldn’t help but think they just shouldn’t? You know, someone so comically bad at something you didn’t want... Continue Reading →
Everybody has dreams. Some people remember their dreams, many do not. I learned in school that dreams are the result of the brain processing information. What happens, though, when the brain processes information that hasn't happened yet? Will I recognize it when it happens? What makes me think I had a dream about future events?... Continue Reading →
