Just Being Human

Sorry it’s been awhile. I came down with the flu for about a week. Boy, was this the worst time to get sick!
We finally found a pentecostal/charismatic church. It’s 40 minutes away which is quite a bit when your last two churches were 10 and 2o minutes away but it gives Paul and I some [...]

Paul’s mom has been doing better the past two days. Now that her pain is being better managed, she’s been much more comfortable and alert, regaining some of that feisty personality. In fact, she’s been giving the nursing staff quite a lot of  trouble trying to pull out her tubes so she can go outside [...]

Yesterday Paul and his siblings had to make the difficult decision of putting his mom in hospice. They considered in-home care but with the amount of pain that she’s in it would be better for her to be in a hospice facility where she can have round-the-clock care. It’s a really nice place and very [...]

Deja Vu

In 2001, Paul lost his sister Kristi to a brain tumor after an 11-year long battle. As the tumor and its affects began to overtake her brain, her mental and physical abilities began to decline. Paul and his extended family are now forced to watch his mother go through the same thing at a much [...]

Perspective

A lot of people have mentioned to me that it’s pretty incredible that I uprooted my life to support my husband in moving out to Pennsylvania. This is odd to me because, quite frankly, Paul is my life. Our lives became one almost six years ago. His family is my family. His needs are my [...]

Philippians 1:3-11
3I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5because of your partnership [...]

I am the end of apathy…

We saw this video in church on Sunday. An incredibly impactful message that I can’t even begin to summarize. Paul and I walked out feeling more than just an emotional charge. We left sensing a heavy burden on our hearts that is still as strong at this very moment as it was the moment I [...]

Fragile And Feeling It

I’m singing at a friend’s funeral tomorrow. He died of cancer. I sang at another friend’s funeral almost 4 years ago to the day who also died of complications relating to cancer. I sang at a 2-year old girl’s funeral back in 2002 who died of a brain tumor. And I have to say [...]

Derek – How Do I Love Thee…

We fed Derek his first solids today. A lovely rice cereal that got everywhere. And he loved it! In fact, I couldn’t shovel it in his mouth fast enough. He’d get so impatient in between bites that he’d either start fussing or suck the portion of his bib that had rice cereal on it. Here [...]
