Living in the Peace Zone
We sat in the La Cantina Restaurant in Puerta Vallarta, Saturday night. We were watching Texas Tech (Carl’s alma mater) play Cincinnati. We were pleased to be front and center to the big screen — thanks to a kind DJ that runs all the sports screens. Yay! Tech won! Though it was a great game…
There’s nothing quite like celebrating our anniversary surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation here in Puerto Vallarta. The lush palm trees swaying gently in the ocean breeze, vibrant flowers painting the landscape with color, and the sounds of tropical birds singing their joyful songs remind me of how wonderfully creative our God is.…
Carl and I are blessed to be back in Puerto Vallarta, celebrating one year of marriage where our love story began—this time last year on our honeymoon. There’s something about this place that feels like God’s canvas. The palm trees sway like worshippers in the wind, and the trails invite us to lose ourselves in…
“Well, this is a fine mess!” Isn’t that what we think when life throws us for a loop? Like we’ve stumbled into the wrong chapter of our own story. But hang tight, because shattered dreams are the very pages God uses to write the most incredible comebacks! We’ve all been there—broken relationships, financial upheavals, health…
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing Cece Winans sing “The Goodness of God”. It’s not just a song; it’s my anthem, a reminder of all the ways God has shown up in my life. I’ve already told my husband that when my time comes to leave this side of heaven, I want…
Please forgive me for sharing more about the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. I can’t stop thinking about all we experienced and want to encourage you to make it part of your travel plans in the future. If you’re looking for an experience that will not only deepen your faith but also ignite…
Fearless in these days and times? Get real, girl! Who can be fearless when the smallest fear (like a snake in a flowerbed — that was my daughter a few days ago) to a friend’s upcoming major surgery or another friend’s livelihood being challenged after yet another setback keeps them from being able to earn…
Yesterday, we left Washington DC after having a most incredible time at the Museum of the Bible. Everywhere we looked, we could see how God’s sovereign and mighty hands has been upon HIS people AND our Country — right from the time of creation. We hopped aboard the plane to Lynchburg, VA. Once again, Carl’s…
This weekend, we were blessed with a surprise that left us in awe and gratitude. Months ago, Carl’s daughter asked if we’d like to board a private jet and go with them to Washington D.C. to the Museum of the Bible. And she said, “You won’t need to worry about walking too far to a…
I saw this metal wall hanging in a store. I took a photo of it. It spoke to me because I remember the birth of my children. I knew I was created to bring them into this world. It spoke to me because there have been times when I encouraged someone to carry on and…
