Only five. Yet, what a life? If defeat was justified by trying times… We would just throw in the towel…not even try. Deaf in one ear at birth. Told, in time…she may never hear. Exposed. Delayed in speech & many other ways. Yet, not defeated. Tricked by the enemies schemes. We are God’s children. Made in […]
Could it be? There is a line, a line that can’t be seen. Between here and eternity. It divides the world and the heavenly realm. A wall of glass…of sorts. To many…clouded.

Sitting, resting aching body…reflections of honor cords & robs & square hats. Turmoil to hard to put in words after a weekend full of rejoicing. Aching in a greater way, no earthly pain can measure, contemplating…grasping….the pain of letting go. It’s done! Eight years homeschooling. Gifted, eldest child. Private school. Carpool. Algebra. Moral, physical, social balances…all […]
