For several months I have been doing a chronological reading of the history of the nation of Israel. As I read through the pages of scripture I see God revealing Himself to His people and I see His people responding in various ways to Him and their culture. One of the most pivotal moments in…

To be Understood
Because my oldest girl is autistic she is, for the most part, non-verbal. She can repeat words, but rarely ever uses them to actually communicate. Cadence is 13 now and I have always tried to be a good student of who she is so I can discern her wants and needs. If you have children,…
Sibling Rivalry
Sibling rivalry. I know a thing or two about it. I have brothers – one a twin. I have 5 kids. I’ve seen my share. There are days when my kids are so sweet to each other. And then there are days like we’ve had lately. I had to take a kid to the eye…
Prayer of Repentance
We make an alter where we are so that we can come to you, Lord, and ask for mercy. We are a nation founded to promote Christian liberties and values and to glorify God. We are failing at both. We confess our sins, repent of our wrong doing and ask for MERCY. Like the prophet…
Mom’s Tool Box
There’s a tool box at our house that gets a fair amount of use. There’s always a broken toy, batteries to install and things to be assembled around here. Along with all the typical tools, the box contains an industrial staple gun, duct tape, some bungee cords and a couple of kinds of glues . …
Hearing God’s Voice
I think God speaks to us in ways we can understand. For different people he reveals Himself in different ways. For me, it is often an impression. I can’t really explain it, but there are times that I feel impressed strongly about something or compelled to do something and I’ve come to recognize that as…

The Whisper in the Whirlwind: Post-it Note #114
Some people’s houses are like museums: Clean and sterile, quiet and tranquil, polite and reverent. And then there’s my house: Loud, Lived in, Cluttered, Explosive. Sometimes I’m just a step ahead of a security breach. Barely contained chaos. My morning routine looks a lot like this: But one of the busiest times of day is…
Running Away From Home: Post-it Note #113
Sometimes things can get a little hairy at my house. Loud. Messy. Hectic. That’s kind of the norm for me. My 5 kiddos mixed with just living life and there are days when I really recognize how inadequate I am for the tasks on my plate. Every once in a while, when I’m feeling overwhelmed,…
Sometimes We Can’t Have the Job: Post-it Note #106
We all dream about the things we want to do. Sometimes there are things we want to do for the Kingdom of God. Opportunities we would like to have or ministries we would like to be a part of. In the past few months I have been asked to help out with a ministry endeavor. …
Standing in the Gap: Post-it Note #105
I’ve been reading in the book of Deuteronomy lately. I’m not sure why, but that’s where I’ve been camped lately. And as I read the history of the people of Israel, the life lessons just jump out at me. Recently I was reading in chapter 9 how the people of Israel unbelievably turned their backs…
The Pain of Answered Prayer: Post-it Note #101
The ladies in my prayer group met last night and had a sweet time of prayer. Before praying we looked at Acts 12. This is the story of Peter being put in prison and the church praying for his release. With the help of an angel, the Lord miraculously breaks him out of prison and…
