Made with Love Naturally, the perfect subject for this topic would have to be my new little son. Made with love? “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5) I think yes. Love you, little man!

Bowls of Bread
A little while ago I did an excellent thing. An excellent thing indeed. I made bread bowls. I had never made them before, but boyhowdy…I will certainly be makin’ them again. If you love soup, you have got to give this recipe a try. Especially now – during the winter months – there’s just…

The Beloved Necklace
My fam and I traveled to Virginia after Christmas. I enjoy driving but my hubby enjoys it more, so I found myself in the passenger seat. I like to get comfy during long trips. Comfy = moving in. As in, moving everything into the car that I would normally have surrounding me at home.…

How I Know God Answers Prayer – Book 9

This book is a personal testimony written by Rosalind Goforth of how the Lord answered her prayers during her family’s time of mission work in China. She details specific accounts of their escape during the Boxer rebellion as well as daily answers…

2012 Book List
This past year, I came up with the crazy goal to read 1 book a month. It’s not super crazy when you think about goals other people make. But it was definitely a stretch for me. However, I did it! (and you can see the book reviews here) And I am sooo glad I made…
