Good morning Ladies!! This morning I was re-reading Exodus 16 and I thought about all that wandering and grumbling. Then I thought about all my asking for big signs, all my wondering while wandering, and the number of times He has sent them. And it occurred to me that perhaps my questioning and asking for…

Morning Commute Haiku
I drive my boys to school from the suburbs of Houston into ‘town’ three days a week. My husband takes the other two. Sometimes they are sleepy guys, sometimes we talk, sometimes they work on homework. This morning, I glanced to my right as we were about to rise on an overpass and saw a…

SOAP- Achieving the desires of your heart…
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. Psalm 37:4-5 . . . I don’t believe this means God is the great vending machine in the sky that you just ask and get what you…

(And doesn’t this one look especially perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, too?) My dear friend Ami reminded me of how refreshing a…

Application: Say What?! God kept them…

This week I’m attempting to be on a family vacation in the Texas Hill Country. (You can follow some of our adventures on Instagram, if you’d like.) I say attempting because I’m also a tech CEO working her tail off to get my startup well into our next chapter, and that doesn’t really allow for…
