      <image:title>Blog - When God Changes the Plan - It is amazing how 15 years can pass and how much you remember...and how much more you don't. It's even more amazing how much your body can age in 15 years, especially when you take it for granted. I was scared.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - When God Changes the Plan - Mooov-In Day is a big day for parents, too. So many emotions. You are in the front row of your teen or young adult’s entrance into a new chapter of their life away from you, the home they’ve comfortably and safely known all their life. You look at their grown bodies and can’t help but see the baby you rocked to sleep or held to comfort. You replay their firsts…their first steps, their first day of school, their first practice or game, and the first time they learned something.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Keep Looking Up - It started at the base of the monument. A park ranger was speaking to a small crowd seated and standing around. We joined to listen to the history of what took place at Bunker Hill. We then ventured inside the museum building and took in all that it showcased. There was a display that showed the 360-degree views from the top of the monument. We played with that for a while before we followed the flow of the museum crowd and joined a line that appeared to exit through a door to the outside before entering another door to the actual monument. We listened to the people in front of us answer questions of the park ranger manning the door. Once he let the family in front of us leave, he stopped us and chatted with us for a bit.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Keep Looking Up - Our daughter and youngest son took off first up the steps. It was a spiraling concrete staircase with no real air flow. Although I have never been in a dungeon or castle staircase, this is what I would imagine the staircase would look and feel like. I lost sight of my kids, but my husband was right behind me. “Go to the top!” Isn't that often how life works? We think we're just sightseeing. We think we're just going through an ordinary season. Everything is chill, and then suddenly…BAM…you are thrown into something that looks daunting and gets even more daunting with each step.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Keep Looking Up - I told my husband to give me the backpack. We could take turns. But he would tell me, “No. I’m fine.” I was worried about him, but he was worried about me. At step 125, I could hear my daughter’s voice from up yonder somewhere, “You’re almost there! Not much further.” She’s always been a great encourager…and a good liar. It was at step 150 that both my husband and I wondered if it would be best if we just turned around and called it a day. The funny part is that neither of us outwardly voiced that thought. Maybe because we had stopped talking to keep as much breath as we could from continuing to escape our bodies on this climb. Our daughter had already been to the top and was now making her descent. She met us somewhere between step 150 and 175, and she took the backpack from my husband’s hands. That helped…a little.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Keep Looking Up - “All things” is different for each person, and it doesn't have to mean conquering huge mountains or a monument. It can mean taking the next step when your legs are shaking. It can mean resting without quitting. It can mean accepting help. It can mean quieting the fear long enough to hear God. And it can simply mean looking up.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Sticky Notes &amp;amp; Prayers - The Gold Velour Chair</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I was little, I could often find my mom sitting in the gold velour chair in our living room…praying. Sometimes she held a rosary. Sometimes she held a photo album. (I’ll explain that one in a bit.) Sometimes she pressed one or both hands against her forehead while she prayed quietly. At the time, I didn’t realize I was witnessing one of the greatest ministries of her life.</image:caption>
