All of a sudden, woken by a whimper and slight commotion, she’s up. She looks at the clock – 2am, realizing she had only gotten 50 minutes of sleep since her head had last hit the pillow. She grabs the baby and stumbles into the nursery to change the baby and nurse her, desperately…
“Let’s check if we can already hear something…Here is the heartbeat!” Wow! Oh how we had longed to hear those exact words “Here is the heartbeat!”. The past year has been a big roller coaster that started when we first decided it’s time to start a family and found out we were pregnant in July of…
Over the past few weeks I’ve been diving into the world of Ezra and can’t get out of it. To be honest with you I haven’t even made it past chapter 3. Wow! A few days ago we sat down for dinner with dear friends of ours and as we were talking suddently the husband…

“God’s word does not return void”. This simple one sentence scripture has been re-sounding in my ears over and over again. “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11 NIV85) His word…
