So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you. Psalm 63, The MessageContinue reading “Soothing Lullabies for a Weary Soul”

When Voices Are Loud
I have rewritten this several times because I just can’t seem to get the words right. I return here a little less filtered. Over the past week, I’ve had my eyes glued to my phone. Haven’t we all? I can’t stop reading news stories or refreshing my Twitter feed. I’m not an openly argumentative person.Continue reading “When Voices Are Loud”
Two Years, Seven Months
I was making soup while I cried. My boys were running around behind me, my husband working steadily on his work, and I wanted to throw the pan across the kitchen. “Why does this always happen to us?” I asked.

(Tip: don’t kiss someone after you’ve eaten pizza.) This boy was also youngerContinue reading “Confessions of a Woman”
My Country, My Family & My Faith
When I was growing up, we attended a Catholic church close to our house. We occasionally went to mass on Sundays and would go to Hall’s afterward to have breakfast. I went to classes on Tuesday nights so that I could have my first communion, and eventually be confirmed, like my brothers. My sons areContinue reading “My Country, My Family & My Faith”
