[In this world you will have trouble] My heart is sinking. Why don't people listen? No, seriously...why? On Sunday it was Thanksgiving here in Canada. Neither Andrew nor I were feeling great due to our health problems, so Andrew almost went down for a nap a few hours before we were set to head out and … Continue reading White Mold
Into the Light
May 30, 2019 It's almost June; the sun is shining and the birds are singing. I should be more thrilled about this. This one's going to start off rough, but my goal is to always end on a high note. It's my life goal too. A lot has been thrown our families way this season. … Continue reading Into the Light

[Being no hearer that forgets] As the day unwinds, I find myself feeling quite unwell again as I pray “Lord, help me” repeatedly--tears welling in my eyes. I really don't know what God is doing. I'm not afraid He won't answer or He won't help, I just can't see that path from point A to … Continue reading Waiting
