My husband flew to Israel Sunday evening. He was traveling across the ocean all night while the kids and I slept in our beds (more accurately, they all tried to sleep in my bed!) On Monday morning the emails and FB messages started and the phone began to ring. “Have you heard from Michael?” “Is…

Small Beginnings: Post-it Note #96
In the book of Zechariah in the Holy Scriptures we see the prophet give a word from God to His servant Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel had been given the task to govern Jerusalem during a very difficult time and rebuild their destroyed temple. The word of the Lord came as follows: “It is not by force nor…
The Chicken Nugget Breakdown: Post-it Note #95
On a day when everyone is hungry for lunch and there’s no food in the house because there was no time to buy groceries, what’s a mom to do? Living a stone’s throw from a drive thru window we find that to be a quick solution. Yesterday we went to grab a bite with the…
Trapping the Mouse: Post-it Note #94
A mouse is at the top of the list of things I hate. My older kids are the same way. We recently saw a mouse in the house and we all tripped over each other trying to get away. It was every Post for themselves. The trouble with a mouse is they can turn into…
Be Careful! Post-it Note #93
My mom called me a few days ago with news. She had taken a bad fall. She stepped on a rug that slipped under her feet and she was on the floor. The result was torn muscles, lots of pain and a long recovery. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that can cause great injury. Likewise,…
Asking the Wrong Question: Post-it Note #92
Why? It’s our human nature to ask why when hard times come. Why did this happen? I’ve asked that question myself. When Cadence was diagnosed with Autism I asked God “why” many times. But even if I knew why, that doesn’t change that she’s still autistic. I finally figured out that “why” is not the…
Wasted Apple Juice: Post-it Note #91
If I had a dollar for every spill I’ve cleaned up I would be rich. If I could regain the wasted gallons of apple juice that have been poured out onto my table, counters and floor I would need another fridge. It’s a daily happening. The Post children are famous for their epic clumsiness. Recently…
Willing to Pay the Price? Post-it Note #90
Do you want to be anointed by God? I do. I desire for my life to make a difference, to accomplish something for the kingdom, to be set apart for a great work. If you desire that too, then Jesus is our model. If we want the anointing of God in our lives then we…
Building a Great Work: Post-it Note #89
Nehemiah is one of my heroes. He left a cushy job in the palace in Persia to go back to the dusty, broken down city of Jerusalem and helped them rebuild a wall of protection. Not your every day character. Nehemiah is considered a great leader and motivator and lots of sermons are preached about…
Squash Problems: Post-it Note #88
The Post family has been growing a garden this year. It’s our first attempt. We have learned a lot. One thing we’ve learned about is squash. And I’ve figured out that squash is a lot like some of the problems we face. 1. If you aren’t a big fan of squash then you don’t need…
Caught in a Whirlpool: Post-it Note #87
We have a round above ground pool in our back yard. It’s been a great blessing to us this scorching summer in the South. Our girls have a favorite game we play in the pool. We put the little people on tubes and then hubby and I run around the perimeter of the pool making…
A Giant in a Bouncy House: Post-it Note #86
My daughter with Autism is a hoot. She loves to laugh. She loves to have fun. The problem is that although she’s only 11, she’s 5’9″ tall. That makes her a giant to most kids her age. And developmentally she plays better with the 3-4 year olds which makes her a super giant. We were…
