"As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him."

Let's Start at the Very Beginning

Hi! I’m simply another mom trying to raise her children in the shadow of God’s grace.  Living it, failing, getting back up, loving the tender moments when all is right with the world.

The purpose of this blog is to see our relationship to God the Father mirrored in the relationships of physical parents and children. Scripture repeatedly compares our Father-God to an earthly father.  As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him” (Psalm 103:13).  Matthew 7 talks about our natural desire to give good gifts to our children.  Our perfect God wants to and has the ability to top us on every level!

Part of the blog will focus on the “where I am” of my life.  First, there's Steve, my husband and best friend, then my beautiful three-year-old girl Karissa, and also a handsome Hudson who is one year old.  My paychecks aren’t made of the stuff you can invest in financial institutions.  But I feel so blessed to be doing the job God has given me for this chapter of my life—wife and mother.

No illustration is perfect, and I beg forgiveness now for any “leaps” I ask you to take.  I hope, however, to stimulate your thoughts and bring you to the nugget of truth in each post.  And as you see things in your own life, I hope you will feel free to share them!
