Just Some Updates

The new baby in our family is forecasted to arrive late May, 2007! By then, I will have hit the big 4-0, which seems about the right age for a great aunt, don't you think??

For those who have asked, the song is still sitting near my piano...more words are there...but it is not yet complete. I'm not sure what God is doing in this, but know it will be okay.

Praying you all have a blessed weekend...

Babies are such a gift :) We have a new nephew this past year - and we are all enjoying doting over him.

Can't wait to hear more about the song :) You'll have to post the lyrics girl :)

THANKS for the hug and encouragement on my blog today :)
I'll take all the hugs and prayers I can get :)

How exciting for new babies! We won't be expecting any in my family for a couple of years, at least.
How are your boys doing? They were on my heart today. Hope they are doing well.

Hey girl, Congrats on the new miracle! Unless I live to be a much grander age than I already am, then I don't suppose I'll see any new babies in our family either. Of Course Nathan could surprise us all and get married and start a family, and that would indeed be a surprise!!! The big 4-0 eh??? You're a mear child. :-)

Yes 40 is perfect for an aunt. Just mature enough to be responsible and teach all those good value ideas but young enough for sports and tickle sessions.

Missed you in the blogosphere lately.

40? My husband turned 40 this year. I'm a year and a half behind him. 40 is very significant in the Bible, just like YOU!

40 is feeling very old this week, my friends.

I know 40 doesn't SOUND old. But then again saying "great" aunt does sound a bit old...doesn't it? Oh, well.

Thank you all for the kind words. I'll return to blogging when life allows.

Let Me Tell You About Another Man

Several years ago, I wrote a post to honor my dad Vernon.  I shared the story of his time in Korea. I did my best to share his heroism with my readers.  I wanted the world to know what an amazing man the simple farmer from Kansas truly was.  I wanted to honor my hero. This past week, I lost my "other" dad.  My father-in-law, Keith, passed from this life to the next.  It has been a difficult time, to say the least.  Let me introduce the man who became Dad Johnson to me almost 36 years ago. I briefly met my husband's family on our college campus.  Little did I know that two years later, I would again be introduced to them, but this time as their son's girl friend.  Keith (my husband) and I were traveling to Michigan to begin our summer internships.  His family graciously met us in Terre Haute, as we had left Springfield, MO, in the wee hours of the morning.  From the moment we made acquaintance, I was wrapped in their love and joy.  T...

Journey Struggles

Over the past few weeks, I have been reading a forum which deals with issues in the church with which we were formerly affiliated. I won't go into detail. What I will say though, is that there are a lot of hurting people out there who need your prayers. What does this have to do with me personally? A lot of those people are my friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ. There is this "thing" inside me that can't stand it when those I care about are mistreated, lied to, or in some other way wronged. It's that part of me that wants vengeance . Wow. Did I use that word? But it's true. I want the erring party to repent, yes. But I also want to see them do some groveling and major "making of things right". And that thing inside me is like a mother bear protecting her young: you hurt someone I love, and I will attack! Shocking, isn't it? Most people who know me think I'm this gentle, meek person. I've been accused of being a "goody two s...

The journey began as a child, in my heart desiring to "know Jesus"...it continued as I sought to know Him more, to live for Him...it went along as I followed His call on my life...as I married, and had kids...as we ministered in various ways and places... Today, our journey is leading us to a place I never thought it would take, and the path is a bit scary. (Okay, a LOT scary, at times!) These are just the thoughts of a sojourner. You're welcome to come along.
