Refurbishing Love
This morning I found a jewelry box next to two dozen roses in the kitchen. Oooohh….jewelry! What could it be? My husband cautioned me, “It’s nothing new.” When I opened it I was delighted to find my refurbished 10 year anniversary band that I haven’t seen for months. He gave it to me on a surprise anniversary trip to Aruba…
Sweet Potato Chicken Pad Thai
This dish is super yummy but does take a bit of time to prep. The spiralizer I use is from the Pampered Chef and my 8 year old can operate it on her own. It’s fun to get your kids involved with cooking…and when you do they are more likely to try it! This dish is gluten free too! INGREDIENTS…
Brokenhearted for the Broken in Spirit
I spent the day serving with new friends side by side. Prepping tableware, serving lunch, sorting donated foods, doing dishes, reminding hurting folks that there is a God who loves them. Usually I leave any type of serving opportunity feeling filled up and blessed. However today, I confess, I’m heavy hearted. So many of the homeless and low income individuals…
The Desire of My Heart
Feeling especially grateful for this little one tonight. Years ago my husband and I could not agree about having a third child. We fought, I cried, we prayed, went to counseling, I cried some more. My husband argued that we already had a healthy boy and girl. I argued that since we started our family when we were so young,…
We will never forget
We will never forget. I love that song that sings, “Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?” I was sleeping in my house in Concord with my little 3 year old daughter who should have been heading off to preschool, and my 3 month old baby boy. I remember staring at the news through tear…
What’s in a Name?
What’s in a name? Half of you know me as Amethyst and the other half know me as Amy. Although my mom named me Amethyst at birth, she figured it would be too hard for kids to say, so my nickname became Amy. Towards the end of high school my closest friends started calling me Amethyst. Once I got to…
Applesauce
We are in a time of uncertainty. Our financial picture has changed a bit and we are forced to re-evaluate our kids’ enrollment in private schools. This is not an easy decision because we LOVE their schools. However, we are passionate and committed to following God and His path for our kids and our family. Charlotte joins me in praying…
Rest
Does anyone else feel the wear and tear of a fast paced life? This week felt like I had every minute scheduled and accounted for. I was feeling it by the end of the week. So yesterday I was thankful for a commitment I made one year ago to set time aside each week to be silent, read, pray, study…
I Hate Shorts
I hate shorts. You can ask my hiking friends about this and they will verify it’s true. They always tease me for wearing long leggings, even in the middle of summer when it’s over 100 degrees when we hike. I correct them by telling them that I am actually wearing capri leggings when it’s hot. Capris are like shorts to…
