What I’m Reading: Chasing God, I Will Carry You, Kisses From Katie, & Say Goodbye to Survival Mode

January 21, 2014 By Rose

Apparently, my desire to read comes in waves.  I go from reading three or four books at a time, to not reading at all (or reading a couple of pages of one book once a week or so), then back to reading multiple books at once. I’m in an upswing right now and currently reading…

Kawasaki Disease and Answered Prayers

November 26, 2013 By Rose

My oldest son is Joshua.. that’s him up top with me a few months ago … and this week he had to have oral surgery (a skin graft inside his mouth) which resulted in the inside of his lip being sewn with stitches to his gums beneath his front teach. Yeah… ouch.  And weird.  He’s…

November 18, 2013 By Rose

One of the things I hear the most about homeschooling (or not homeschooling) is, “I don’t have the patience to homeschool.” Well let me tell you.  I. Don’t. Either. Just today I lost it over and over again when trying to teach my children. My son missed the same three spelling words for the third…

My life cannot be summed up by my Facebook posts.

October 14, 2013 By Rose

Recently I came face-to-face with someone in a bad situation.  I won’t share details to protect her privacy, but it was maybe the most desperate situation I’ve encountered in a long time. She was desperate for God.  Desperate for help.  Desperate to change her life, her behavior, her circumstances.  She was crying and pleading for…

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

May 19, 2011 By Rose

Last year sometime I read an article about chemicals in our homes and how children get accidentally poisoned.  One of number one “poisons” was automatic dishwasher detergent.   Considering that I run my dishwasher two to three times per day (with all the cakes I’m baking) and some dishwasher detergents are looking a lot like candy…

My MawMaw…. Mary Ella Hawley

March 27, 2011 By Rose

March 27, 2011 My MawMaw went home to be with Jesus last night.  I haven’t slept and the tears don’t seem to end.  She was so precious – and I loved her so much. I’m heartbroken, yet I smile through the tears as I remember… She made beautiful blankets, hand-stitched.  I sleep under the one…
