50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 5 — Be Still and Trust

I had a rather emotional day yesterday. You see, even if I am on bed rest, I promised my boss and my teammates at work that I would do all the tasks that had been assigned to me prior to my hospital confinement, and my being put on bed rest. I'm the type of person … Continue reading 50 Days of Amazing Grace: Day 5 — Be Still and Trust

50 Days of Amazing Grace 2013: Day 3 — Prayer Is the Greatest Source of Strength When You Are Hurting

My husband and the kids and I slept over at my mother-in-laws' place last Easter Sunday. It still seems surreal that my father-in-law is not there — and all that is there to remind us of his presence is a picture of his smiling face.

Preparing for Lent: “Decorating” Our Domestic Church {The “Lazy” Way}

I was first inspired to "decorate" our {rented :)} apartment for Lent last year, when I saw Holly of Three Sided Wheel's post about "Preparing to Keep a Holy Lent." (She has SO many inspired and inspiring ideas!)
