Seeing is Disbelieving (2020)
“ Revealing the truth is like lighting a match, it can bring light or it can set your world on fire.” Wiz Khalifa The loss of an ideal, for me, […]
Peace in Choas
My son, Tres, had a vision two days ago of a city falling. I started praying even more than I already have been for our government. As Christ followers, whatever […]
Jehovah-Jireh
I didn’t want hominy again. In fact I felt like if I had to eat one more bite I would vomit. At nine, I did not realize the reasons behind the third day of having to eat the yellow, round kernels of grit I was trying to focus on chewing and swallowing. I was just tired of it. I wanted […]
The Messenger
I was around seven or eight when I realized that there was two way communication between us and God. I knew we could pray to Him and He would hear us, I just didn’t know He could send messages down to us.There was a Jack and Jill bathroom that separated my moms room from the one I shared with my […]
God is in Our Stories
I am not sure when I first learned about God. I have no memories that exclude Him. Though I was raised in church from an infant that is not where I learned about the character and presence of Yahweh. It wasn’t from the Bible though I loved listening to the stories growing up and always won Bible trivia in vacation […]
Pro All Life
I want to rage. And weep. And cuss and scream. Scream at the top of my lungs…. DO YOU NOT SEE HIM? Do you not see his bleeding, lifeless body in the street? If it doesn’t make you angry, If it doesn’t make you want to move or speak, Than you stand with the bigots who slayed him. Your indifference […]
Overcommer
This guy right here is the biggest dreamer you will ever meet. He has big, swiss mountain size dreams. He started writing rap lyrics at 19 as a way to fight through the emotions he had dealing with depression and a physical disability. His lyrics not only woke up something creatively beautiful in his soul they woke up us, as […]

We Won’t Forget
Natalie’s choir took part in a memorial ceremony on 9/11. We will not forget. Prayers for our countries continued healing. For the families who lost loved ones. For the safety and protection of our country. For the men and women serving to protect. For love and peace to reign. In Jesus name. God bless America.
Birthday Breakfast
We made brunch for Tori’s birthday. The whole tribe (and a few adopted members) swarmed her home for a few hours. Ironically as I was thinking about what to say about my oldest I came across a draft in my blog that I had written for her birthday ten years ago. How crazy (and perfect) is time?! To my 16 […]
Tori’s New Blog
Victoria decided to start a new blog today. http://www.Onejourneyofgrace.blogspot.com. As I read it I was so touched by her honesty in the way she described her struggle with stepping into […]
Uncommon
For the past four weeks I have felt the hand of God nudging me to have a better understanding of excellence. What does it mean to live in excellence for […]
Easter
Ask me how many frames I had to use to get a picture that had all the kids looking at me. Ok, stop guessing…30! An exhausting cause for the sake of my Easter card this year. It was worth the effort. Everyone is even smiling, except Kobe. I’m just glad he stayed on the bench! I love Easter as much […]
About Us
We are a family of 7. I know big families are rare in the times we live in. Our children cover each developmental stage minus infancy. I love seeing the reactions of those who meet us for the first time. Especially those poor souls who invite us to their birthday bashes or barbecue. I am so grateful for my big […]
