Remember this series? I’ve been a slacker but have been wanting to get back into it… so here goes with C! Crafts Surprised? Probably not, if you’ve been here long. If I had infinite amounts of free time {and was more organized}, I would probably spend most of crafting. I’ve been known to dabble in [...]

His Word in My Heart: April 2010

My friend Heidi and her husband are in Africa right now, picking up their new son Ezekiel from Rwanda. This was a verse {Habakkuk 2:3} she posted on her blog recently and it really spoke to me. God truly has given us a vision of adoption. Our hearts have been forever changed through being on [...]

Happy Resurrection Day! We had a lovely morning yesterday at our church‘s sunrise service at the beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields, abloom with colorful ranunculous flowers. I wrote this yesterday but didn’t have a chance to publish amidst all the good food and family time (and baseball!)… I loved the connection our pastor made today with [...]
