Here we are again at the start of a new year. Yes, I know, it happens every year! Ha ha. Seriously though, I’ve been perusing Insta-Face-Chat (that’s how hubby refers to the leaders of the social media dynasty) these past two days, feeling encouraged, inspired, motivated and – honestly – sometimes quite amused at all…… Continue reading Looking Forward To 2017
Wowzer! I could seriously beat myself up about crapping out on my endeavor to post a blog for 30 days straight but I’m choosing to give myself some grace instead. Here’s what I’ve learned since my last post (you know, the one I did two months ago…) I’m a perfectionist.

But it…… Continue reading The Story of Us ~ Part Three: John 13:7
Summing up the ‘story of us’ into a blog post that is long enough to convey the journey and short enough to keep you captive is not going to be easy! Where to start… It really is the hand of God that we are here, together, 11 years later! Steven didn’t want anything to do…… Continue reading The Story of Us ~ Part Two: Walking Away
