[I thank my God…] I met Ronda on a Christian networking website called Xianz. I haven’t always clicked so easily with other females (perhaps it’s because I grew up with three brothers, and I never had any children of my own), but with Ronda our friendship came very naturally. She’s been a protective and concerned … Continue reading She Ain’t Pushy, She’s My Sister
[...my strength comes from God] I don't know what it is about me, “P’s” and alliteration, but I’m at it again! I'm blaming it on this lone persevering Peony. When I spotted this bloomer from a distance, I didn't even recognize it as a Peony. Normally these beauties are full and ruffly. They’re one of my … Continue reading The Persevering Peony: A Purposeful Plight
[May Your unfailing love be with us...] My story starts with a struggling, yet persevering, Peony, surrounded by weeds. This isn't fiction. It was a scene in our backyard. It's also a great visual representation of the season I've been going through. (There will be more about this Peony in another post.) When I saw … Continue reading Delighted by Daisies

When she has to throw up a hairball, she really cries. And when she's having tummy troubles, oh boy, do … Continue reading Our Noisy Cat
If you're looking for a random, nonsensical post, you’ve come to the right place. I study too much. I know I do. My problem is that I love it so much, but there is such a thing as too much study. I’m not going to quote Bible Scripture on this one, but trust me, it's … Continue reading Just Bee-cause
[I praise the Lord because He guides me] I’d gotten off track with my reading, so it wasn't too surprising that this was the verse I read when I sat down to read my Bible. (That's my Lord, His timing is perfect.) I know why I went off track; when Winter turned into Spring, I … Continue reading First Things First
*She sheepishly accepts this award* I have to admit, certain things make me feel awkward! Compliments and awards are two of those things. However, I'm also very thankful to those who encourage and inspire me, and let me know that I've done the same for them. Ultimately, God is our true inspiration, but I absolutely … Continue reading The Barnabas Award
