Posted by Heather on February 6, 2013

I miss her. More than I ever thought. My mother, my best friend, my rock, passed away on New Year’s Eve 2010. It was sudden, and totally unexpected. I still keep looking at her chair, now a few weeks later, wondering why she isn’t sitting there. She was my best cheerleader, and when I was [...]

I still remember it like it was just this morning… I had Bible study at my house, and all the girls had just begun to gather and fix their coffee and tea to drink. Bekah was late, “as usual” and we were waiting for her to get settled. Karl had run into work to fix [...]

If you’re anything like me, you try and keep up with all that’s going on in the world. I mean, that’s the smart thing to do, right? Until you get so inundated with information, that it’s a misery to you. And that is what has become of me. All the info that I see on [...]

Posted by Heather on October 27, 2011

Once there was two seeds; a tomato seed and a peach tree seed. Both of them were small, yet eager to be what they were created to be. They were planted in a greenhouse next to each other, and became fast friends. Time flew by, and each one was ready to be planted into the [...]

Take, me, make me All You want me to be That’s all I’m asking, all I’m asking Welcome to this heart of mine I’ve buried under prideful vines Grown to hide the mess I’ve made Inside of me Come decorate, Lord Open up the creaking door And walk upon the dusty floor Scrape away the [...]

Posted by Heather on August 22, 2011

You might remember that I was fortunate enough to be given two floor seat tickets to the Women of Faith conference this weekend. I took one of my besties, Dawn to this for a girlfriend weekend. I was all prepared to hear what God wanted me to hear, and be blessed. And I heard what [...]
