“I don't understand, why are you allowing my room to get so small. It has been weeks like this and I liked to do the flips and fun dance moves. I thought you liked them too.” “Oh, I do,” said the Creator with a glow on His face. “Someday you will understand that I take … Continue reading 50. An ‘ug?

Alan’s Hand part 1
When I was in university studying engineering, there was a group of five of us that would get together regularly to pray. We would pray for each other, but usually we were praying that many people on our campus would discover the love of Jesus, allow him to transform their lives and discover their purpose … Continue reading Alan’s Hand part 1

48. Treasure
“You are a treasure. My treasure. You are worth more than one could ever count.” These words from the Creator placed such a warmth and security in Russell Jr's little heart, but he didn't really understand what “treasure” was. “PaPa.

Between my birth and when my sister started elementary school, she was a full time homemaker and most days as kids that involved (among many other things) her reading to us. She introduced me to Anne of Green Gables, Aslan, The Little Engine that Could and … Continue reading The last page.
45. Hannah

I felt challenged that even though I now will have a son, in reality and in my heart's desire this little boy … Continue reading 45. Hannah
