I have fallen in love with Pampered Chef items—mainly their cutlery, but anything Pampered Chef looks appealing to me. I got bogged down in their bakeware and cooking tools sections when looking through their catalogue for a flour sifter. I used the search bar and plugged in “flour sifter” and what came up was a…
One of the main reasons I love sunsets is the fact that they put a beautiful closing on the day. No matter what has happened, expected and unexpected, it reminds me that God hasn’t changed. Expectations can be killers! We want to put our hope fully into things, but experience has taught us that we…
I looked down at my hand and I saw it. I had felt it a few days before, but now I could clearly see it on the pinky finger of my right hand. The knuckle was slightly pink and appeared to be swollen and it was throbbing! I didn’t remember hitting it on anything, but…
My parents have a cistern and in fact many of the homes across the Caribbean do too. In case you’re not familiar with the term, a cistern is a waterproof receptacle used for holding water and is usually the first step in building most homes in the islands. It differs from a well in that…

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?” What a unique treasure for our family to own three campers! My husband, Chris and I have been camping for only three years, while his brother’s family, as well as his parents have a few more adventures under their…
This month I saw how the name of Jesus can truly transform. I do not remember a time when I did not know Jesus, as I was raised going to church every single Sunday. But, this month I saw up close and personal what the pure love and adoration of Jesus does in the lives…
“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” Psalm 37:7 Ahhhh….rest. How that word often escapes me. Between my responsibilities as a mother, wife, employee, my church, family and friends; rest is almost a foreign word.
