I feel like Bilbo Baggins at the moment returning from a long unexpected journey and attempting to write an update! I am so thankful that you aren’t like the Hobbits in Bilbo’s community presuming me to be dead and auctioning off all my stuff! Yes, I am alive and well…and very grateful to be reportingContinue reading “The Adventure of Yes”

Faith, Family, Friends, Fur, & Festivities.
These are the things that made 2020 special to me! God’s word says in all things give thanks…what made your year one to remember?
Living in Faith During the Wait
Writing this post has been on my calendar…long before the recent outburst of the coronavirus swept across the world. While I meant for it to apply to any situation where you find yourself waiting for God’s divine intervention, I’d certainly say it applies to the seemingly frozen hands of time while the world is beingContinue reading “Living in Faith During the Wait”
Bowl of Yellow M&Ms
Several years ago my husband and I were treated to a week’s stay at Wind River Ranch in Estes Park, Colorado just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. Wind River Ranch is a Christian hospitality ministry. The week we visited was a week when the ranch rolled out the red carpet for a limited numberContinue reading “Bowl of Yellow M&Ms”
Hello Autumn
Hello Autumn! The holiday spirit is in the air and soon to be upon us…Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas. In the nonprofit world and somewhere sandwiched in between all of the ribbons, festivities, and chaos is a single day, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, dedicated solely for charitable giving…it’s called Giving Tuesday. It’s onContinue reading “Hello Autumn”
No Passport Required
Tropical paradise. This was the recent venue for my husband and I to disconnect alone in the sands of serenity for the first time since our honeymoon. I didn’t realize how much we needed the rest until we began our journey home and the weight of the world began to creep back onto our shoulders.Continue reading “No Passport Required”
All in Time
All in time. His time, not mine. As far as the guest house project goes, I have to repeatedly remind myself of that fundamental truth as my natural racehorse tendency is to want to cross the finish line….like….yesterday. Time seems to stand still as it relates to construction progress but break the sound barrier asContinue reading “All in Time”
Update: Phase 1 Completion
Did you know that there are caregivers in our support group who didn’t have a single day off from their caregiving responsibilities in over 25 YEARS…until someone cared enough to change that?! The stories are real. The people are real. And so is the struggle. That is why we are so passionate about gettingContinue reading “Update: Phase 1 Completion”
Unashamed
Unashamed…that’s the word that has powerfully resonated with me this week. Typically, I’m a faithful church-goer, not because I like to check-the-box and feel good about myself through regular attendance, but rather because I cherish God’s people and the value they add to my life through sound teaching and accountability. I didn’t go to churchContinue reading “Unashamed”

What we need now is for you and your friends to share our video updates and the Project Plan (see below) with peopleContinue reading “Will you spread the word?”
