There's a grace that digs deep Core of strength extends lofty to the sky Outward, stretched, fallen man reaching for a savior Redeemed and strong his boughs grow Boldly lifted to heights he never dreamed He searches for more Always reaching Always hoping Faith finding him ransomed Free he soars with the heavens From … Continue reading Banyan

I Wanna’ Be Just Like You
Flyboy turned 7 yesterday! I am always a little nostalgic on birthdays. I can never quite wrap my mind and heart around how fast it all goes. When you are a young mother, everyone tells you to treasure every moment because it goes so fast and you can't really fathom it. I know I always … Continue reading I Wanna’ Be Just Like You

Book Blessings
A good book is both a blessing and a curse. I love a good book! There's something enchanting about getting lost in the pages, absorbing the verbiage. I'm completely elated by the inspiration and revelation I gain and gather up like a proud mama rounding her little ones up. I'm in love with well spoken … Continue reading Book Blessings
Adoration
I'm sitting in a quiet room, baby in my arms. Soft and warm, nuzzled tightly to my chest breathing in. Tiny sighs and squeaks eek out occasionally as lips move to reflexive smile or the impulse to nurse though his mouth is empty. He sleeps and I adore him. My husband lies across the room still, … Continue reading Adoration
