I’ve decided to delete my Facebook apps. Those of you who know me personally, know that I am a true advocate of Facebook. I have friends all over the globe and Facebook allows me to keep in touch. Lately, for whatever reason, I’ve been feeling “blah”. I haven’t been able to pinpoint what is causingContinue reading “Taking a Break From Facebook”

Sweet Contentment
This morning, I am lying in bed, the house filled with the sound of pure silence and my husband (the worlds best daddy) is quietly playing with the children somewhere in this house. He thinks he’s letting me sleep in (which is the SWEETEST thing in the world), but I am wide awake contemplating life.Continue reading “Sweet Contentment”
Cherish These Days… They’ll Be Gone Before You Know It.
Feisty little red-head boy… His birth completely changed our worlds. We were young… Supposedly adults. This child forced us to second guess our maturity. Long nights… With little or no sleep. Tantrums… Made me question my own sanity. Kind hearted women… Said, “Cherish these days… They’ll be gone before you know it!” All the while,Continue reading “Cherish These Days… They’ll Be Gone Before You Know It.”
Dearest Daughter
My Dearest Daughter, I prayed for a daughter! Your three brothers prayed for a baby sister. Your daddy desired conformity over variety. Yet, the moment the doctor held you up and introduced you to the world, your daddy was smitten. Little girl, I want you to know, how truly loved you are! I want youContinue reading “Dearest Daughter”
Independence Blvd
You’ve grown up too fast. Before my eyes… so hard to grasp. I’m sad… I’m happy… I’m frightened… I’m excited. Walking behind… Your little five year old legs. In the direction of that big yellow school bus. Transportation to get you where you need to go. Out into the big world. Independence Blvd. That’s theContinue reading “Independence Blvd”
To Go or Not to Go?

I couldn’t pin point and particular reason, however the feeling wouldn’t let up. My husband is teaching abroad in China for six weeks and we all missContinue reading “To Go or Not to Go?”
Crystal’s “Turn the Table” Over Moment
I’m frustrated. You thinking… Wow… Not like Crystal to blog about something negative or out of frustration? Let me clarify: I’m not saying I never feel negative or frustrated, just ask my husband and children. However, right now I have a bone to pick. Usually, I decide to wait until my frustration passes but rightContinue reading “Crystal’s “Turn the Table” Over Moment”
Thankful For An Amazing Vacation
We drove all day yesterday and returned to our home sweet home at 7:30 p.m. We had an amazing vacation and I can’t stop praising The Lord for the wonderful memories we made as a family. Leaving the ocean was hard! When I’m standing next to the ocean with my family, watching the sunset, GodContinue reading “Thankful For An Amazing Vacation”
Heaven By The Sea
Together we stroll… Her tiny hand, holds on tight. Walking beside the ocean, she giggles as each wave catches her feet. Her stature tiny, in comparison to the vast… powerful body of water. Yet, she’s not afraid. She is filled with giddiness. Together we sit, staring out at the sea. The two of us watchContinue reading “Heaven By The Sea”
When Your Child Ministers to Your Heart
Tonight my son Robby and I were cleaning out the van and a song came on the radio. The song was “Thank You”, by Ray Boltz. This past November I sang this song at my uncles funeral. Suddenly, I missed my uncle deeply and tears began falling from my eyes. My son suddenly became quietContinue reading “When Your Child Ministers to Your Heart”
