Overwhelmed
I've been pretty overwhelmed lately…..with my youngest son in the hospital just getting through a "normal" day and making sure my family is intact is a huge undertaking. Here I am, on the evening of about the 25th day (I've lost count) in the hospital as the evening...
When the Lights Go Out
Tonight my sweet "Christian" had some trouble with his infusion of factor and needed a dose of IV Benadryl. Unfortunately he developed a pretty serious headache and was in quite a bit of pain, so he took some Tylenol and we turned off all of the lights and...
Stuff
Some people feel as if they have to live a life as close to perfection as possible. Their children need to wear designer clothes, they need to drive the best cars, live in big homes, go on at least one family vacation a year to an exotic place…..they insist on...
Thank you for asking
My "Christian" has been in the hospital for 17 days as of today. It's been a long, extremely difficult haul this time. Family and friends are constantly calling, texting, and "Facebooking" to check on him. But today someone actually asked, "How is...

The enemy Did Not Win
My youngest son developed a knee bleed on 10/18 and was admitted to the hospital on 10/21. We are still here. Despite the health issues of my son, life goes on. I could easily let everything come to a screeching halt, but I have to make sure that both of my boys...
Living with a Chronic Condition
When you live with a chronic condition you have to be hopeful and positive. I find that if you don't try to find the positive despite your situation, things will always look bleak. And when you have a child with a chronic condition you not only have to...
The Ending of a Rough Week
I remember emailing my trail riding buddy last Sunday night (10/13) and writing "We are going to have a great week!" Then things fell apart for both of us. That happens, life takes twists and turns and we have to work really hard to keep our heads above water and do...
What I Wished For
God called me to ministry when I moved to New Mexico seven years ago. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do and things were not moving in the way I planned. I had a message to share! Where were the opportunities to speak and minister? I read the blogs...
