Where does faith come from? That question popped in my head today after I read this in Romans 4: Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, … Continue reading Fill ‘er up!

What’s for Dinner?

everfaith

One of the most difficult things about having a husband who travels is figuring out what’s for dinner.  I know it seems a trivial concern, but  to me the question of What’s for Dinner is indeed a big deal. Rather than having food issues, I guess you could say I have Non Food issues.  If there was a way to fill up my family the way I fill up my car with gasoline, I’d do it.  It’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking — it’s just that I don’t enjoy food.  Except perhaps for Dove dark chocolate, I am content … Continue reading What’s for Dinner?

I really admire you for homeschooling your daughter. I wish I could do that with my kids!” If I had a dollar for every time I have heard those words, I’d have enough to take myself out to Starbucks a few times! Neighborhood moms often shake their heads when they learn of our homeschool status. Some moms look at me as if I’ve suddenly grown another nose. Others confide that they would be all over homeschooling if, like me, they were trained teachers or had the slightest inkling of what to do. The purpose of today’s blog is encourage these … Continue reading Building Wisdom in our Kids

Can’t see the forest today…

This is a quick, broken-arm update. Today’s x-rays showed that my daughter’s bones are not growing straight.  Apparently, the bones shifted when her swelling went down.  Now new bone is growing in such a way that her arm bone is “bowing.”  Her bone sits at a 10 degree angle, whereas “normal” ones sit nearly straight on the vertical with perhaps a 1 degree tilt. The good news is that the doctors *think* that as she grows, the bone will naturally straighten itself out. The bad news is that there is a chance the bone won’t, and she could end up … Continue reading Can’t see the forest today…
