I am a simple girl with a simple life.

God is my strength, my portion and my song. It is a good and necessary thing because I am weak, needy and can’t carry a tune even in a bucket!

I love my husband – never perfectly and not always well.

I love my family and friends – pretty much the same. Loving isn’t easy but it is always worth it.

I love my words – too many at times.

My heart has been wrecked by a world that lives outside my door. I went to Haiti and came home with eyes wide open and a heart that will never be the same.

I see need all around me. I am overwhelmed.

The grace and glory is that He is neither surprised, overwhelmed or absent. This is my place to remind myself that He is here, wherever I am. He is not overwhelmed. He is not surprised. He was, He is and He will always be.

The daily battles go on but the victory has already been won!

Can I get an AMEN!
