I'm proudly married to my best friend, an active duty US Marine. I'm happily taking care of our homestead and our ever growing entourage of animals. I enjoy writing, reading, cooking, crafting, diy projects, and various outdoor activities. It's all about enjoying the journey of life with my family.

The Lord is My Rock

I have a dear online friend – a Marine Mom – who is struggling right now.  Her son is deployed, so she’s dealing with the stress brought on by that.  In addition to that stress, she’s struggling with health and other issues.  I’m praying, but I wanted to publically show some support and let her know that she’s loved.  This picture is for her. Semper Fi, Marine Mama!  The Lord is on your side, and you have many prayer warriors who have your back.

The breeze coming off the water mixed with the warm air to create a pleasant environment…

Rain for Your Land

And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. ~Deuteronomy 11:13-15~

Raindrop

Project 365 – #099 On Friday, we were blessed with the sweet sound of raindrops on our windows.  Munchkin put on her coat and rain boots and headed outside to play. The rain cooled down the temps and cleared the air.  I so enjoy the lovely smell of spring rain.

A Place to Call Home

Project 365 – #098 That little bird has chosen his shelter. Above it are the stars and the deep heaven of worlds. Yet he is rocking himself to sleep without caring for tomorrow’s lodging, calmly clinging to his little twig, and leaving God to think for him. ~ Martin Luther ~ Leaving God to think for him.  Hmm… maybe I could learn a thing or two from the birds. We are once again blessed to have a bird’s nest in the tree next to our house.  Munchkin was rather concerned that the birds would not be there this year as…
