Rhodes to Anywhere

I’m packing today.  Not for our move coming up but for our yearly extended family vacation.  Before you roll your eyes and I know you’ll do this because at tennis last night the ladies were all making fun of me.  They are not thrilled I am leaving during our fall league season.  They said, “you…

One thing that you can always count on is that Change will always come.  It’s part of life.  Sometimes it’s planned.  Sometimes you are surprised.  Sometimes you choose it or sometimes it chooses you.  Sometimes change is discouraging and sometimes it’s the most exciting thing that can happen. The wind of change is coming again…

Someone asked me how things were going with Frankie the other day.  I actually get asked that about everyday.  And things are going really, really good.  And I normally follow the conversation up with the fact that I have so many people that are walking this journey and have a big support group so I…

One of my favorite communicators is Erwin McManus (besides my husband people!).  Often you’ll find me trying to listen to one of his talks on line.  I’m a bit Jealous because my internet friend Jessica (that is what her husband Luke pegs us as) just got married and she’s in CA and Luke is taking an internship…

The past few days have been a personal emotional rollercoaster for me and I’m not even riding it.  I’m just standing below watching as it goes and wondering, “how do they do it?” Sterling right now is in his second brain surgery in two days and just a few hours ago we received news that…

There are many things in life that don’t make sense to me.  One day I think I’m going to have a lot of questions to ask when my life is over.  Like why do children have to deal with sickness, cancer, tumors.  I know the answer.  We live in a broken world and until one…

I did an unintentional mean thing on Facebook… I posted the other day… “We are getting a dog today, what am I thinking?”  Then the comments started rolling in, all from “Good for you” to “please tell me you are kidding?” After a bit I realized I did not complete my thoughts…  I should have posted, “We…

I love this picture.  I’d like it better if I was actually in it.  I think then it would be complete for this moment in time…. Wayfarer – The adventures He has us all on are crazy for sure.  The people that have been a part of Wayfarer’s Story over the past 10 years are…

I love Rainbows.  For me they are the constant reminder of God’s promises. Sunday we had an amazing one outside our back door.  I had just jumped on the lawn mower (to help Dave out) as he was glued to the Golf happening on TV.  The sun was shining and just as I began to mow a…

I always love the first day of school. I mean Emma wakes up like it’s Christmas morning. Bad news is that by Friday I’ll be dragging her out of bed. Big day for our wonderful second grader. How did that happen? And get this… no need to walk her in on her first day. She’s…
