Superheroes don’t always wear capes. I am pretty sure in Cade’s mind that Cole is his superhero. Especially after his diagnosis, Cade has become more dependent on Cole. I just want Cole to know that we see him.  We see him when he is being incredibly patient to Cade when it takes Cade a LOT…… Continue reading Superhero!!

I can’t help but think of Abraham during this time.  No parent ever wants to think about losing a child.  But I can’t help but think that maybe we are being called to be a modern day Abraham. Abraham was called to do some really huge things by God. God asked Abraham and his wife…… Continue reading God of Abraham

I feel like everyday since June 1, I have been on information overload.  We get a bunch of new information thrown at us and then they ask if we have any questions.  Brent and I just wonder “Should we?”. I have immersed myself in research, mostly trying to figure out a way to relay the…… Continue reading What do you want to know?

Everyday there are chores to be done on a farm. I mean, everyone everywhere has chores, but the amount of chores differs along with the means of accomplishing those chores.

Life on a farm is like that.  We don’t have tall buildings…… Continue reading The Hard Stuff

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”  Psalm 23:4 I can no longer say this Psalm without singing it.  My boys learned this verse at AWANA and we sang it to help them remember it.  Right…… Continue reading All Things Are Possible

Sundays are for church at our house.  While Brent is doing chores, I wake the boys and get us all ready to go for church.  Brent comes home, gets ready for church, and then we all head out the door. I love our little church.  This little country church and its members have become my…… Continue reading Take Me to Church

This past weekend was a huge weekend for our family and our church.  It is our annual fundraiser dinner known as Lord’s Acre.  Each member of our church is responsible for bringing the different items for the meal.  I made a pan of the chicken casserole and 2 pies. We also make extra items to…… Continue reading Lord’s Acre Weekend
