"My child had followed his daddy out to work in the fields that morning as I went about my usual chores for the day. As I was washing dishes, my heart was overflowing with peace. We couldn't have children, but my husband and I had shown kindness to Elisha. God repayed that kindness in the [...]

A Well of Provision
As I sit out on my front porch watching over my grandchildren, one of them comes to me and climbs up in my lap. I can tell she's sleepy. As she lays her head on my shoulder, she asks me, "Grandmama, will you tell me again about that pot of oil?" I smile, because this [...]
A Well of Perseverance
(I realize that this unnamed lady is mentioned only in parable form. But her story has given me the courage to keep pressing on many, many times. Luke 18:5 "And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?" In my Bible, I have [...]
A Well of Promise
My mind wakes up before my body is ready to. It's still dark outside and there's a quiet despair hanging heavily in the air this morning. It's as if even the house can sense what this day will bring. The stillness is a stark contrast to the rapid beating of my heart. As much as [...]
A Well of Protection

Mended Again
Once again, God has used my children to speak to me. And once again, it's about broken things. And once again, I'm just going to share my heart openly with you. I used my daughter's curtains for a wedding last weekend and we just got them out of the car yesterday. She brought them to [...]
Who Jesus Is
*HONEST POST WARNING* There will come a point in your life when you don't know what to do. My husband and I both like to know stuff. I like to have a plan, to know what's going to happen next. My husband likes to know he's always right. Haha. We're both stubborn. Last night, we [...]
When They’re All Gone: A Tribute to Bro. A.C. Durham
He signed my Bible with Philippians 1:12: But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; As a little girl I wondered at that verse. Surely there was a more poetic one? Or at least one that could bring you [...]
Confessions of a recovering Mommy Perfectionist
Happy Mother's Day this coming Sunday to all you wonderful mothers out there! I hope you get pampered and get to relax this weekend. But honestly, you probably won't. Because you're a mama. And even if we get pampered, we still can't relax. I thought I'd lighten it up a little bit and admit some [...]
