Good morning. It is official, school is out for the rest of the school year! Yesterday afternoon, we received the news from the Virginia Governor. I see questions all over Facebook.

The only thing that we can control is putting our complete trust in God
Good Morning. Last night I had a dream that I found the last package of toilet paper at the store. I bought it, and it was in my shopping cart. On the way out of the store, I stopped to look at laundry detergent. When I turned around, my cart was gone. My purchase was… Continue reading The only thing that we can control is putting our complete trust in God
Do Not Worry
Good morning. By now, I think the whole world is being affected by the Coronavirus. This morning I saw the headline on Yahoo news that read "The City That Never Sleeps Is Brought to Standstill by Virus". New York City used to be a flurry of activity. Now, the broadway shows are suspended and gatherings… Continue reading Do Not Worry

Praying That Your Struggles Turn to Joy
Today is Veteran's Day. I am thankful for all the men and women who have served in the military to protect our freedoms in the United States of America. Those that serve in the military make so many sacrifices. Freedom is not free. Some make the ultimate sacrifice and die, so we can have freedom.… Continue reading Praying That Your Struggles Turn to Joy
God is Sovereign
What does the word sovereign mean? It means to have supreme power. God has supreme power over the universe. God decides. Not you. Not me. Only one person determines the outcome. God. Our God in heaven can do whatever he pleases. But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. --Psalm 115:3 (NKJV).… Continue reading God is Sovereign

Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same
My mom's surgery is tomorrow. My kids start school again tomorrow. I was distracted today with back to school preparations. I *almost* didn't think about the surgery tomorrow. It is in the back of my mind, lingering. Thoughts about the surgery invade my thoughts, as I try to push the thoughts back again. My kids… Continue reading Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same
