Rhodes to Anywhere

In 2 weeks we load up a truck and move our family.  It’s one thing talking about it. It’s a whole other thing to physically pack boxes and walk through the act of doing it.  I think a lot of situations in life we encounter are like that.  There is the Knowing Part but then there…

Emma has been saving her money for over a year now.  Hiding it away in her wallet.  Anything found has been a treasure that gets evaluated but then put away.  Many times we would be in a store and she would want something.  She would think long and hard about it. I’d always ask her…

This past Friday I loaded up the kids and headed to Atlanta.  Dave was at a camp so this was a road trip I embarked on my own.  Friday we were able to take part of celebrating the year anniversary of the Light a Candle, Feed a child program.  This past year our family partnered…

Go Before Know – Because sometimes the Promised Land is only visible as you begin to walk. A little over a week ago, Dave came home and we just had one of those conversations where we both knew it was time to make some steps that do not make sense.  So we really need to…

There are some moments in life that you know you will never forget because they were life changing.  I’m still here sitting and waiting on personal breakthrough for our home to sell.  I look at my watch and calendar and the time is ticking.  With each day I wonder what will be in store for…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and do something not many people do.  BE VULNERABLE.  Last night the family was watching the Justin Bieber movie.  Had heard lots about it but had not had a chance to see it.  I thought it was interesting that his career began because of YouTube.  All…

I’m still here.  Waiting on HIS timing. For those of you that are doing the same, you have those days wondering if deliverance will ever break in and break out.  You can’t fully live without Trust. Sometimes it’s hard to trust but I still do it anyway even when I feel like I don’t want to.  Because I KNOW…

Did I really just say that?  It seems a bit unreal at times but it’s true.  Soon no longer will we call the Upstate home.  This is very odd for me.  I’ve NEVER lived in one place longer than I have in the Greenville/Spartanburg area.  I grew up as a pastors kid.  We moved a…

So I have been saying that our family has some big news to share! Wayfarer (The ministry Dave and I are part of) has some big news that effects our family.  Here is the link to Wayfarers latest newsletter and then I’ve included the big announcement below.  I’ve been dying to socially be able to start sharing…

A time to…. Ponder how fast the first year of pre-school is over.  Last Thursday we celebrated Frankie and Izzie’s last day of school.  It was such a fun celebration and as a mother I enjoyed seeing them in their social setting with their friends and teachers.  Izzie and Frankie have grown so much this…
