Today was a good day. Kids did really well for the most part. After lunch we all went for a walk… Our first walk as a family of 5. The boys in the double and big sister walking along holding daddy’s hand the entire time. I kept thinking over and over “I can’t believe this…

Without Him How Lost I Would Be
Last night my baby boy had me up all night and I just couldn’t get him to calm down. He has not been sleeping well at all lately and, exhausted, I was at the end of my rope. I was tense and frustrated and about to lose my mind. Suddenly I found myself singing songs…
Make Yourself At Home
An influential voice in my life recently told me that it takes at least a year, up to two years, to truly feel settled into a new home. We moved in December 2011, December 2012 and June 2013 so I suppose that means I have been in an ongoing state of being unsettled. I only…
Staying Connected In the Midst of Change
Eight weeks ago our little family of three became four as we welcomed precious Lucas James Walters into the world! He is a doll and we are soaking up every sweet minute of his new little life. His presence, however, has brought my blogging and my study of God’s promises to a screeching halt. Since…

My Me-Maw
My grandmother, “Me-Maw”, passed away Sunday December 20 around 4:30 pm. She was 80 years old. A few weeks ago my mother admitted her to the hospital in Memphis because she was in so much pain. She had Parkinsons and Dementia, but she also had a disease called Neuropathy which no one knows a whole…
