Elisabeth Elliot was a missionary, author, and speaker, who exemplified a life of obedience, joy, and humbleness. I have read several of her books and listened to some of her speaking engagements and always walk away inspired in my faith. Have you read any of her books or listened to her speak?
And how about you? Who would you choose? And why? I’m eager to hear your thoughts…
Six months ago today, we were handed a little gift of life in our arms. A little life that has changed our lives in the most beautiful way. When we named our sweet girl Mazy Grace, we wanted it to be a testimony of God’s grace in our lives. Mazy has been all of that…
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I’m excited to Lord-willing, keep up this blog as it has been an extension of not only my heart, but of my faith. I hope that you are encouraged through it to live your life for God, to keep the faith, to live simply, and to just be real. The real YOU….
I wasn’t going to write a post about love, but then something hit me. This Hallmark holiday has so many meanings behind it, for so many people. I am beyond thankful for my best friend, whom I call my husband. And words cannot express the love and thankfulness I have for our daughter, Mazy Grace….
The past 3 Saturdays have become a new “normal” for us in the spring and fall. The biggest fundraiser that our youth group does is take out docks/boat lifts for various people, on various lakes. Moving out to Minnesota, I hadn’t really heard much about this “job.” Living near Lake Michigan, the docks were permanent,…
It has been an interesting week weather-wise, but that is what’s fun about living in the north! We went from near 60s to teens in a matter of days – oh, and a nasty blizzard. More on that in a bit. This week we will be heading back to Michigan for Thanksgiving, which we are…
Ribbon is something that can be used for many DIY projects, but unfortunately it is the crafting item that can cause the most frustration. My spools would get all tangled and even knotted. Plus, some would fall to the bottom of my bin and therefore I didn’t even know what I had! What is the…

I admired Corie Ten Boom whose hid Jews during the war. She had such faith then and then when she and her sister went to some awful places. I enjoyed hearing speak. Such a humble woman.
YES! I want to read more of her writings! What an incredible testimony of God’s faithfulness that she lived out so boldly. Like you said, such a humble woman, but she made an eternal difference and continues to as well!
I would choose to be with my Grandma P. because she exuded love and grace while yet strongly enforcing rules of good behavior. She never verbally told me that she loved me but her eyes told me clearly that she did. Long after her death her next-door neighbor told me that Grandma was the”most Christian person I ever knew.” But Grandma never spoke aloud words of testimony–she lived it! Her old well-worn Bible rested on the kitchen table near to the three loaves of bread she had just baked from scratch, on the day she died at 103 years of age: a picture of her life “Ora et Labora.”
What a testimony of your Grandma’s faith! What you spoke was such an encouragement to me, to think about how I LIVE my life b/c that is what speaks loudly. She sounds like an amazing woman and I can’t wait to meet her in heaven! Thank you for your comment, Kerry!
