2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. hFor the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, [...]

I was so excited when Christina posted about this today!
I have been upset for months about the number of phone books that we receive. We don’t even use them- I use the internet to look up everything.
Now you can go HERE and opt-out to stop receiving phone books. Please consider doing this! It just takes [...]

“I love you”s from my son
seeing how excited my little lady is in the morning
cuddling with the two of them
cooking a delicious dinner for my husband
hearing my son try to pray The Lord’s Prayer
cloth diapering my daughter
success with potty-training my son
“Lord, have mercy” coming from my son’s lips
slowly catching up on the laundry
my children taking [...]

I found a new online Orthodox Store today. It is definitely something to share with younger people.

I was going to add some detail to yesterday’s post and when I logged in to do that, I saw that the post had been written only 15 hours ago. It feels like such a long time since I first heard from my mother. It probably doesn’t help that I was up until 1:30am doing [...]
My mom went to see the orthopedic oncologist today.
This is what we know:
The tumor is IN the bone
The bonescan showed other areas in her body that are “inflammed” (her ribs and shoulder blade)- this could mean more tumors

My mom called this morning to tell me that they have moved her appointment to today. She is currently with an orthopedic oncologist. It appears that the tumor may be cancerous; so they will be doing a biopsy. I am not sure if that is something that are doing today or scheduling for another day. [...]

When we visited Dormition Monastery last month, I had the extreme privilege of making confession with Father Roman Braga. I had seen the documentary on his time in the Pitesti prison and was humbled to be in the presence of such a godly man.
He asked me several questions and ended our confession time by saying,
