Blog Feed: Life as a Minister's Wife

I don't know about you but I really, really love Jane Austin's books! I have a hard time deciding whether Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility is my favorite. I have read them each several times I have watched the movie/mini-series countless times. Still I can't seem to get enough. It doesn't matter to me that I know what will happen in the end or that I can quote almost every single character--they're just great books! Recently I discovered a movie that follows almost this exact same id [..] > read more

What I Learned from My New Job

Published on 2012-04-09 19:18:00

Today I left Wal-Mart behind and I started a new job. It's always exciting and a little nerve wracking the first day at your new place. You don't quite feel fully comfortable and there are so many things that you couldn't possibly know that you feel overwhelmed. If you are anything like me you are probably worried about whether or not you dressed up enough or your co-workers will like you or possibly even if you will be able to actually do this job once you get into it. However, once you get in [..] > read more

We All Need a Little Dirt

This year I feel like Spring Fever has really hit me! Never before in my adult life have I lived in an actual house and had space to do a lot of grown up things such as--mowing the yard OR starting a garden. HOWEVER, this year I DO LIVE IN A HOUSE!!! We are renting here in Saint Joseph but I was SO excited when I talked to the property manager and they said that we could have a small garden as long as we replant the grass again when we move.Let me tell you...I'm excited!

The Christmas Singing

Getting Back on Track

Published on 2012-01-22 13:35:00

Today I was wondering...Why is it SO easy to get off track?I guess it's just something about our human nature that makes us get distracted. In one of the old hymns it says "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love." How true is that? We are not just prone to wandering in our Christian walks but also in the day to day mundane things of our lives.Back in September my husband and I moved to Saint Joseph, Missouri, to start a new ministry. Over the past couple of months things [..] > read more

I don't know who made up the little saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

Let me tell you--as if you didn't know--it's a LIE!It drives me crazy how "innocently" people will say things but their words strike you to the very core.
