Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
There have been many times my heavenly Father has provided for me, especially in the last five years. However, nothing has left me as awestruck as the summer of 2018. I've mentioned before in previous posts that I worked as an agronomist. In the Sandhills of Nebraska, many days are windy and because of our... Continue Reading →
My heavenly Father has protected me for years, even before I knew him! I would love to know the number of times he has protected me or helped me avoid a dangerous situation. I am convinced he often has a palm to his forehead and groans, “that girl!” One winter on my way to visit... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine wanted to try a new church. I told her I’d go with her for support and to help her feel more comfortable. When we got there everyone greeted us warmly, and I said hello to several acquaintances who attended church there. We sat down to pray and then stood to sing... Continue Reading →
When I write these posts, I try to use a picture that would depict what I'm writing about. I want to find really good pictures to convey, as best as possible, what I was feeling during my experience with the Lord. However, this experience was so real that when I looked for pictures of spiders... Continue Reading →
My husband is a very intelligent man. He likes to think about things, figure them out, and understand what is before him. Oftentimes he asks me how I know a dream is from the Lord.

Do you ever have one of those days where you start off walking tall with a spring in your step, and by the end of the day you're hunched over, and thinking "I'm getting too old for this"? I know this feeling all too well. In fact, when my ex-husband left us I think I... Continue Reading →
The Uyuni salt flat. Photographs of this geographic wonder are the closest I can get to portraying what I saw in a vision. Someday I'd like to go there, but I don't think it will be nearly as spectacular as the vision I was given. A sermon I'd heard once explained the gift of praying... Continue Reading →
In the context of the books they came from, yes, these verses were meant for God's chosen people, the Israelites. However, his word says when we choose to follow Jesus, God adopts us as sons and daughters (Galatians 4:4-7). Therefore, in surrendering to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we become God's chosen people. Thus, these... Continue Reading →
Many times growing up I heard the challenge, "Oh yeah? Prove it!" Society has taught us not to believe anything until we see concrete evidence supporting that belief. However, our Lord says in Isaiah 55:7-9, his ways and thoughts are higher than our own. God wants us to believe first, then we will see it.... Continue Reading →
