My Heart of Hope: March 2015
http://myheartofhope.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
My Heart of Hope. Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts. Romans 5:4. Friday, March 27, 2015. How to drive in Phoenix. When I lived in Johnson County, KS, EVERYONE bashed on Johnson Country drivers. What they didn't understand if they lived OUTSIDE of Johnson County was that we were trained to be defensive drivers, in order to stay alive in metro traffic. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Phoenix has its own version of traffic rules. For exa...Road ...

My Heart of Hope: May 2014

My Heart of Hope. Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts. Romans 5:4. Saturday, May 24, 2014. It's a Stupid Saying. You know the one, "A sight for sore eyes." There's also "Do you have blinders on? He then showed him imaging he'd taken. His eye looked like this:. The yellow spots aren't supposed to be there. His first reaction was fear, of course. That he's going blind, that he won't see his children grow up, graduate, have children, etc. But we're going ...After...

Reflecting on the Moment: November 2014

Reflecting on the Moment. Waiting is not just the thing we have to do until we get what we hope for. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what we hope for. - Ben Patterson. Saturday, November 29, 2014. This is So Not Okay. Ten years ago this month we started building our house. And we I say "we", I mean my husband, his father, and our builder. Not really in that order. Against all odds, we have been here 4 months shy of 10 years and have not had even one mouse in the house. Not even ONE. I know tha...

Reflecting on the Moment: August 2014

Reflecting on the Moment. Waiting is not just the thing we have to do until we get what we hope for. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what we hope for. - Ben Patterson. Saturday, August 30, 2014. The first "week" of school is in the books. And by "week", I mean two-and-a-half days. Two-and-a-half great days of seeing smiling students, talking with families, spending time with teachers, and hanging out for a few hours at high school retreat. I had been taking pictures one by one, so I had to up ...

Reflecting on the Moment: January 2015

Reflecting on the Moment. Waiting is not just the thing we have to do until we get what we hope for. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what we hope for. - Ben Patterson. Friday, January 2, 2015. My youngest son's teacher asked him to work on his multiplication facts over Christmas break. I can totally see why. This is taking every ounce of patience I have, and I typically have a fairly strong reserve of it! But math details.they just don't stick right now. Me: Okay, let's practice our 3's again.

Reflecting on the Moment. Waiting is not just the thing we have to do until we get what we hope for. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what we hope for. - Ben Patterson. Sunday, October 12, 2014. A Day in the Life. Tonight I was studying with my 8 year old for his history test. It was going something like this. Me: What were the leaders who people chose to act or speak for them called? Me: (Eyebrows raised in surprise that he knew that.). Me: (Impressed. I didn't know that.). I know this one!

My Heart of Hope: We're a clan of crazy ones!
http://myheartofhope.blogspot.com/2014/12/were-clan-of-crazy-ones.html
My Heart of Hope. Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts. Romans 5:4. Friday, December 26, 2014. We're a clan of crazy ones! I laughed. We'd never even BEEN to Arizona. I started looking at homes on my phone in suburbs of Phoenix and felt a tingle in my spine. "I guess I'm not opposed to it," I replied. Only, I did. A great one. And it was a total God thing. You can read that story here. We're crazy like that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Learning to follo...

My Heart of Hope: That's not the "flu."
http://myheartofhope.blogspot.com/2015/01/thats-not-flu.html
My Heart of Hope. Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts. Romans 5:4. Friday, January 16, 2015. That's not the "flu.". One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when someone tells me that they've been sick with the flu. I always say "a stomach bug or influenza? They say "stomach flu" 99% of the time. That's not the FLU. Here's the thing. I'm UBER sensitive about the difference. Why? Influenza (flu), on the other hand, is a viral infection that mimics a cold, except that it...

My Heart of Hope: The best part of my day.
http://myheartofhope.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-best-part-of-my-day.html
My Heart of Hope. Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts. Romans 5:4. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. The best part of my day. I do "three good things" with my kids every night - which helps us to end the day on a positive note, with an attitude of gratitude for things that made our day great, even if it wasn't so great overall. The kids often "spin" this game and ask "What was the BEST part of your day? The open window as I woke up, streaming in fresh, desert air.
