A testimony to the Lord and His work in my life... "Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart." ~Psalm 119:111

My goal in life is to honor the Lord and glorify Him. "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." ~1 Corinthians 6:20. My most recent exciting news is that I got married!! Yay! My husband, David, is great...really super handsome, nice, and so SO good to me! I love him a LOT! He is from Ireland so that is now where I live as well. Such beauty to be had every where I look. It blows my mind away! Although, I still think that Minnesota is the most beautiful place on earth...I think I always will. :)

The Centrality of the Home

When I listened to this sermon by Voddie Baucham, I found myself shouting "AMEN" at my computer! It is my heart's cry! I feel such a burden for our children and our churches...it makes me weep when I hear the statistics and see the futility of so much "good" effort. Yet I see revival stirring...even in the hearts of our young Bright Lights girls and know that there is hope. It lies directly in my obedience in doing the hard (and often unpopular) things that God commands but oh the rewards when I do!




Praise God for those godly men and women who cherish their children and embrace their God given reponsibility to disciple them. My parents did that for me and I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to God for the eternal vision they imparted to me.


I love you Dad and Mom!

I am so thankful for the sacrifices that my parents made to teach us what is truly important in life; the eternal things. Salvation and godliness are the only things that really matter.
