God’s Got Us – We simply relocated to the hospital
November 15-18, 2016 This is not what I thought my Tuesday would be. We were supposed to be making appointments to start physical therapy. We were supposed to be making plans to start taking walks together. We were supposed to stay on the upward trajectory for healing. And God decided Thad’s recovery path is going …

I love my husband
In an odd way we’re celebrating the past 3 1/2 weeks at the Arms home. A little shift here and a little tweak there and suddenly definitions, priorities and expectations have all changed. If you know me at all – you know I love really deep hours long conversation …. I honestly believe communication is a love …

God knows
I realize now that there will always be a before or after the accident. Since I got the phone call, I have learned way more about myself, my limitations, and the limitations of this world. I have had a lot of quiet time with God. I have learned more about just how fearfully and wonderfully …

God you are Good!

In an Instant
October 12, 2016 At 12:10p, life changed. Thad was in a horrific car accident. He was hit mostly head on by a guy in a big pick up truck that was trying to make/beat the light. The other guy was going way to fast – well above the speed limit – and Thad was …

God’s Timing and Plans are Always Perfect
September 2016 I was handed an opportunity to run away the last week in August – I had 6 days to pack and go! It involved the ocean and a cruise ship – needless to say – I grabbed it. I had been praying for a way to get alone – like really alone and …

Be Bold! Be Raw! Be where you are – just don’t stay there!
August 2016 Holy Wow! What a whirlwind. July was a month of everything in all directions. How is it possible to have so many emotions in so many directions at the exact same time? Things building up; things cracking; things coming together; things crumbling …. It’s all part of something way bigger than us though …

Press on Towards the Goal God Gave Me
July 2016 Philippians 3:12-14 – Focused on the Goal I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an …

Stay Hopeful (and Dreaming On)
June 2016 The slap of disappointment stings when I have been working hard and still fall short of my personal goals. This is where I find myself as we are heading to our annual Plexus Convention – we were supposed to go to convention as Senior Gold …. and …. my hope can’t ever be …
