Giving It All
My six year old adores his Aunt Tawn. She came to spend Mother's Day weekend with us as it was the first one she and my husband spent without their mom. We had a pretty quiet weekend and just spent time hanging out doing our usual things. Over dinner, my husband...
Mama
It's been almost 16 years since Mama passed away. I think of her often and today I have a warmth in my heart as I think about her. The homemade french fries she would make after school.The $20 bill that would come in the mail when I was off at college (always right...
He Doesn’t Understand
My 15 year old, "Lance", has been very fortunate in his journey with Severe Hemophilia. He has never had a joint bleed, and has really only had one severe muscle bleed….ever. He had a low titer inhibitor, one port placed and was immune tolerized within 2...
Boxes
We finally bought boxes (considering we are moving in four weeks, we need to get with it)! My husband's last Sunday to preach in Truth or Consequences will be on Father's Day, but we have the opportunity to move into our new home (at least me and the boys) early so...

Adventure!
Today I am off to Wisconsin to speak at a Couple’s Retreat. The couples are all affected by a bleeding disorder and my mission is to bring a positive, uplifting message as a parent of children with a bleeding disorder. This is my passion! Preaching God’s word and...
A Choice
I am a huge advocate of devotional time. Having a daily time to either meditate, pray, journal, and simply take time for yourself, even if just for one minute, is critical to caring for yourself. But here is my problem...life takes over and gets in the way. I can...
A Beautiful Day
Some days are better than others. Some days we run and run, looking at the clock anticipating the next thing on the list that needs to be accomplished. If we are lucky, we occasionally have a day where the clock is not an issue. That's one thing I love about Sunday...
Suffering
Everyone suffers something. But when children suffer, it breaks your heart. When your child suffers, and you can't take the pain away, you would give your life for them. I walked past a room yesterday (as I am here in the hospital with "Christian" as he recovers...
