God’s Love and Snow Cones

Last night, our family joined a group from church to witness during Austin’s First Thursday arts, crafts, music and food fair. That was a huge blessing! It’s not often that we are able to serve in ministry as a family. It was also awesome to see the boys in action. They were with a couple [...]

VBS

Last week, all week, was our church’s vacation bible school. What did that mean? That means we were tired but blessed. This year was a little different. NM was old enough to go to the junior high and high school camp but he had volunteered to help with VBS. We encouraged him to back up [...]

The Unexpected

The Lord often protects me from some of the more difficult facts of life because He knows how weak I really am. Weak? More like wimpy, wimpy, wimpy! Last Thursday, I was helping to set up and decorate for our church’s women’s retreat. This was my third in a row with CSA, second year helping [...]

A New Thing

Just so you know, this is what I’ve been up to for the last couple of weeks: http://www.mercedesmorgan.com/ But this weekend? Ahhhh…this weekend I will be at our women’s retreat, enjoying studies on intimacy with God and fellowship with my sisters. I love having a big family!

For the mamas

Every once in a while, the Lord will bring me to a scripture that just fits with what I need to hear. I’m sure it happens more than just “every once in a while” but I only pay attention that often. My loss! Some days as a homeschooling mom are just difficult. Who am I [...]

I <3 These Boys

“Why do you have the heart thing in that?” “I just want the practice, my baby.” (The thought of how fast you are growing up sometimes makes me heartsick) “Take my picture too! Oh wait, I want to ride my bike. Don’t take too long!” “Just stand still and it will go very fast.” (Not [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

J’s Birthday Party!

Family: more photos here on Flickr. Woohoo! Ok, is it sad that I didn’t realize his 6th birthday party was on the 6th? Because it didn’t connect for me until just now. But enough of the sadness! Because the party was all about gladness. Back up a little to the day before: the boys and [...]
