Whether we realize it or not, most families have been touched by abortion. It is … Modern Day Well: the Coffee shop
Author: Inspiring Light through the Cracks
On the journey of life, as fellow sojourner; sister, wife, past Trauma Nurse, Mom of four, blessed through adoption, and our foreign exchange student, Jesus Christ is my Lord. I have found the broken cracks in my life mold and shape me, yet remind me how much I must lean on the God who is the Ultimate in Wisdom. I hope my musings resonate with you.
Friends
God is amazing! He provides us with glimpses of His character through our friends and relationships. We can see His nature reflected in the eyes of those who come in and out of our lives. A few nights ago, I explained to my daughter, “there are friends that stick closer than a brother or sister, […]
Comfort
Peanut butter and Jelly are comfort food to me like friends who comfort. There are sweet jelly times and sticky, gooey, salty moments with a few crushed nuts added. A tall glass of milk or your favorite refreshing beverage helps the sandwich bites to go down. I have been blessed with older women who mentor, […]
Healing Through Sacrifice
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. […]
Tarzan:Reflections
“You’ll be in my Heart” by Phil Collins holds a wonderful memory for our family. Tarzan, the 1999 hit Disney movie tells the story of a young boy orphaned after a shipwreck. His parents end up dying, and a gorilla mom and her family raise him in the jungle. At first glance, it may not […]
Kaleidoscope
We are all born unique in the Image of God. We may have brown, black, blonde, red hair, or a variation? We may have brown, black, blue, green, hazel, or any combination of eye color. We have skin color from pale white, yellow, every tan or brown, mahogany to gorgeous black. We are a beautiful […]
The Comparison Trap
In this world of technology, every day becomes a battle of resisting comparison. Whether it is access to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat, the ability to see other people’s lives in a photograph or with a post can be a daily struggle of discontent. The picture or post may appear to reflect a positive, healthy […]
Two Mothers Who love
The connection of two mothers through adoption is multifaceted, amazing, and full of many emotions. I have experienced open adoption. For those who don’t know, open adoption can initially start as shared photos and letters through an intermediary and sometimes leads to shared identifying information and intertwined lives. It is not a legal contract; it […]
A Clump of Clay
Sometimes, mistakes can lead us to repentance, and in our humility we can see how much our Savior loves us. The painful feeling of sorrow sticks to guilt like a mishmash of superglue and confetti. An array of colors; darks, and lights seem to form, highlighting more dark than light. Or are we the neutral […]
New Beginnings
Gratitude for New Connections 🙂 Springtime reminds me of new growth, the sound of robins and chickadees music to my ears. The call of a dove cooing to find her partner or maybe a new friend… The flash of movement as a rabbit scurries across the front garden searching for food or a hiding place. […]
