Looking for Direction in 2015?
Sixteen Years Ago Today
I have to be honest. I don’t remember most of my birthdays. I’ve never been a fan of too much attention, so I like to keep it simple. A nice meal (that […]
Wordless Wednesday: Merry Christmas 2014!
Life is Hard, But God is Good
There is just no way to sugar-coat it. Living in Madagascar is no easy task. As beautiful as the landscape can be, it can also be just as harsh. When the summer […]
Madagascar Morning
I awoke to the morning sounds of roosters crowing and birds singing. An open window with screens lets the breeze in and keeps the mosquitos out. It’s very different to wake up […]

Letting Them Go–Again!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Unashamedly, I am that Mom. The one that has never looked forward to school starting again. My youngest of four is starting his third […]
