As I sit at my kitchen table with the window open and the grey Kelowna February sky lighting up the room, the smoky smell of Texas Red Beans and Rice is flooding the room as it simmers on the stove top. My two tiny girls are running around playing with my big chunky necklaces, and Josh is playing the guitar making up songs about what they are doing.

I am so blessed.

I haven't written in a long time. I believe I was still pregnant with Maggie the last time I wrote, and she is almost 2 years old now, and Ellie is 3 years old, super talkative and getting so grown up.

My life is a much different place now. Super busy, but so full to the brim of happiness and all things that are good. 2013 saw our photography business BOOM. After 3 years of business being a bit slow, things got very busy very fast. We saw a 700% increase in our business, and this year is shaping up to be even busier.

Part 1

Burning eyes as I sip my coffee, foot to the gas peddle, I drive down the little mountain road toward the highway lined with apple trees. The day has been filled to the brim with teaching children, and my back seat is filled with tiny ones telling exciting stories. I poured this coffee freshly before I left our school room, as I knew that the thirty minute drive home would be everlasting. The taste of the darkly roasted beans and almond milk fills my mouth, warming my chills away. Red light. Slowing before turning onto the highway home, my white minivan stops to the oppressive light, lengthening my commute by 2 entire minutes. I just want to be at home. I want a fresh cup of coffee... I'll call Josh and ask him if he would mind taking a break at the home office to brew a fresh pot... That dear sweet husband... he's been taking care of me since we were 15 and 16 and so in love. No one knew then that 20 years would come and go, and that boy I talked to after school for endles...

About His Work

I started to write an update, and I knew what I was going to write. As I was about to make my way this way to write my thoughts down, I was reminded, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." God graciously reminded me that my attitude today was not for His glory. " Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is --his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 So I went, yet again, to my old friend Spurgeon and was comforted (yet again) by his words which always point me back to Christ. " ...The holy rest which springs out of faith in the Lord Jesus also greatly helps a man when he is ill. ... Let us not be overcome with sudden expectation of death the moment we have a finger-ache, but let us rather expect that we may have to work on through a considerable length of days.... The truest lengthening o...

Pondering the Concept of Home

Some lyrics for you because that's all I have in me for today. Switchfoot: This is Home "I've got my memories Always inside of me But I cant go back, back to how it was I believe now Ive come too far No I cant go back, back to how it was Created for a place I've never known This is home Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong Yeah this is home, I've been searching for a place of my own, Now I found it, maybe this is home Yes this is home Belief over misery I've seen the enemy And I wont go back, back to how it was And I got my heart set on what happens next I got my eyes wide its not over yet We miracles, and were not alone Yeah this is home, now I'm finally where I belong Yea this is home, I've been searching for a place of my own, Now I found it, maybe this is home Yes this is home And now, after all my searching After all my questions I'm going to call it home I got a brand new mind set I can finally see the sunset I'm gonna call i...
