This is what real community looks like…

by gidget gratitude

I’m working my way through a shoulder injury. It’s really hard to “rest” a shoulder when you have a nursing 10-month old and a beefy 2-year old. That little injury has done some good though.

just thinking of a friend

by gidget faith

I have this friend. She lives a half a country away now, although she used to be just a few minutes away. And we were never that close when she lived here, although I’ve always admired her as a mama and been encouraged by her faith. She is the type of person that you can’t [...]

Can I Get an Amen?

by gidget faith

A friend posted this quote on Facebook that she found in her BSF Bible study on Acts. Boy did I need to read it. “Let us not pray for easier lives but for greater power to bring blessing out of every pressure and trial.” Add to that this verse in Isaiah (40:11)…. He will tend [...]

Taking a Breath Before Christmas

by gidget faith

Just wanted to share one of my current favorite passages. On the rare morning, like this one, where after a rough night with little sleep, the babies are sleeping in {thank you, Lord}. I open my Bible and I consider reading ahead in John, the book I’m studying in CBS and at church… but then, [...]

On Not Meeting Needs…

by gidget faith

It feels good to do a little writing… even if it’s not really here on this blog. This past weekend we went camping up in the local mountains and I left my laptop at home (gasp!) and broke out the journal and pen to write a blog post for my new bloggy friend Beth at [...]

The years are short, but the days are indeed long.

by gidget gratitude

Sometimes I find myself reading frantically simply because I want to finish a book. I have a tendency to read several books at once and there are so many more books I want to read that I seem to be just trying to get through. That’s how life feels right now, too. I’ve got so [...]

Counting Down the Days…

by gidget family

I can hardly believe that we will be a family of five sometime in the next few weeks (!!). I’ve finally started doing some nesting… it’s amazing how the daily wrangling of a 1-year old and a 4-year old has made my nesting instinct sit on the back burner with this pregnancy. I just wanted [...]
