Greater Grace

The last three years have been some of the most challenging for me personally. I’ve asked “why” knowing I likely will not understand, even if I got that answer. As a family, we faced diagnosis, difficulty, and betrayal. We experienced narcissism and deception. I questioned the behavior and motives of those who intended harm. IContinue reading “Greater Grace”

Upside Down World in 2022

🔼▶️🔽 🔼▶️🔽 🔼▶️◀️ 🔼▶️🔽 🔼▶️🔽 We do not parent with an earthly world view, but rather we try to keep in mind the eternal.

Emotionally, physically, mentally….We all are imperfect and need to be rescued.Continue reading “All about Ability”

Life as a Mom to a Type 1 Diabetic

It’s not our disease but it is….it’s not our skin the needles go into, but we feel the pain and stress and worrying-just in other ways than our kiddos. They may have received the diagnosis, but it’s an entire family fighting a disease. My 11 yr old daughter was diagnosed in September 2020. We’ve learnedContinue reading “Life as a Mom to a Type 1 Diabetic”
