When I first started writing in public places, I set my heart on writing from real places about real things, real emotions, real life, hoping to focus on the blessings and finding joy in life. Lately, I’ve been accused of airing dirty laundry, of speaking before thinking and being to critical, just to name a […]

Our family just got back from a week at the ocean, which is our very favorite time and place. We usually go in the month of May which means I always try to create something extra special and super yummy for my baby sister Rhoda’s birthday. She usually asks for my cheesecake. I am always […]

Isaiah 43:19 – Behold I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. New things. For me, new means change. Sometimes “new” is welcome. Like the new blooms after a long winter. Other times […]

In conversations with other wives the conversation often turns into “husband bashing” sessions. As Christians, I think this is extremely contrary to what God wishes us to do. Now don’t get me wrong.

Year ago I worked at a wonderful little tea room where the owner made the most delectable ever scones. Since the place closed, the recipes also are seemingly forever lost. So, I went on a quest to find THE perfect recipe. In my mind, I remember my dear amazing chef friend telling me that the […]

We as Mennonites are real big into discounts. The cheaper the better. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that…I do think how ever, that we do a tremendous disservice to the name of Christ when we “discount” the miracles He does in our lives.Like the most recent “big miracle” in my personal life…Don’t get me wrong.
