Letting Go

and letting God

A few weeks ago I came across a beautiful quote by way of a lovely blog that has stayed with me:

You should remember all your life that one of the principal causes of the small progress made by certain good people is that the devil continually fills their souls with disquiet, perplexities, and troubles which render them incapable of application of virtue. The great principle of the interior life lies... READ MORE 


Celebrate Your Husband

by trusting him

When Camilla was a fussy infant, it was easier for me to calm her than for Bryan to do it.  She would eventually stop crying when he had her, but not as quickly as when I was holding her.

When she started fussing, my instinct was to sweep her out of his arms and take over. “I’ll handle this,” I would tell him, and the poor man would stand there looking on helplessly.

But Camilla eventually got so... READ MORE 


Ten!

Time heals

Today is the birthday of my second son, Elliott (that’s him at the top of the chain there). Ten years ago today, Elliott flew into our lives, his fiery red hair matched only by his fiery personality.

Elliott was one of those babies—I often described him... READ MORE 


Marital Bliss

Advice for those about to be married

Next week, Paul and I will celebrate our fourteenth anniversary. Did I really just type that? Isn’t it just four years? I guess not because then where did all these little boys come from. Some days I can’t believe I’m no longer a newlywed, while other days I marvel that it hasn’t been longer.

Fourteen years ago, I walked down the aisle headed towards the greatest adventure of my life. I love being... READ MORE 


Walking on Water

from today's Gospel

He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.“Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Matthew 14: 29-31

Lord, help us to remember that we can do all things through You.
