A Child’s Answer to Prayer

Child's Answer to Prayer

Trip to Guadalajara When I was about twelve years old I took a trip with my dad to Guadalajara, Mexico. I was returning to the place of my birth and visiting my childhood friends.  Since my dad was going to be returning to Mexico in two weeks, he decided to let me extend my stay. … [continue reading]

Alone but not Forgotten

I had just graduated from a small Christian boarding high school, but the fun was not over: we still had a summer ensemble tour to the East Coast. The ensemble consisted of three girls, three boys, a sound man and our fearless director. We would travel to churches where we performed concerts and presented information… [continue reading]

The Police

Shelly is a friend of mine from college.  She wrote out an experience she had with the police and is letting me share it with you.  Crazy! We live in a large house. It has two separate staircases and two living areas connected by the kitchen on one side and a den on the other…. [continue reading]

Tornados in Texas

We had some excitement yesterday.  My husband called from work and told me that a tornado had touched down in Arlington and that it was predicted to be in our area in fifteen minutes.  Now there was a day when I would have not worried about it, but with tornadoes wreaking havoc and destruction all… [continue reading]

Afraid of the Dark

The kids were talking about dreams they have had. One of my girls has a recurring dream in which her hand falls off and the kids pass it around the van! My second daughter Joy asked me how they can remember dreams if they were asleep. I told her that our brains are still active… [continue reading]

Fear Driving

I finished my shopping at Costco (Where else?) and was pushing the cart full with baby and groceries when I got my first glimpse of the outside. Dark clouds covered the sky and it looked like it was going to downpour any minute. I rushed to get the baby in the van and was happy… [continue reading]

The Hauntings

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was stirring…except the MOUSE!!  Yes, I purposefully wrote it singular.  I refuse to entertain the thought that she may have invited her friends and relatives or…horrors had babies! There were a couple of more sightings by my husband, who exclaims the mouse… [continue reading]

Sightings

1) It was Sunday morning.  My husband came into the living room and declared, “As I was getting out of bed, I moved the curtain a little, and I could swear I saw a mouse run under the bed.  Oh well, it was probably just my imagination.” 2) Later on Sunday–Hoots and hollering came from… [continue reading]

Scary Night Noises

When I was little we lived in the country and, for a time, I was scared of the dark.  I remember waking up and hearing rattling noises in the middle of the night.  I would sit up in the dark and listen.  It was the sound of a plastic bag rattling, but in the dark… [continue reading]

A Reminder to Be Thankful

When I pulled into our cul-de-sac from my outing with my daughter my heart stopped.  Blocking my driveway was an ambulance and a fire truck.  My mind’s eye saw my husband and three remaining children, and I couldn’t even imagine what horrible thing could have happened while I was gone.  I pulled over as fast… [continue reading]
