When my girls were in Color Guard, my kitchen table was always a disaster. I know you aren’t supposed to use the words always and never, but it’s true! (OK, for the sake of better communication, I’ll phrase it differently.) My kitchen table was continually piled high and deep with all their essential gear. Only rarely was I …

Meet Dianne!
Hi! I'm Dianne. Welcome to my home on the Internet! Grab a cup of coffee (decaf for me, please) and join me for a while! There are few things I like better than a good cup of coffee shared with a good friend. When life gets lifey (as my sweet mamma says), there is nothing like spending time with a good friend. Talking through issues. Giving and receiving encouragement. Praying together. Celebrating together. What woman doesn’t need that!
Sometimes, though, our friends aren’t ...

GOD IS PLEASED WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH, which may be as simple as doing the next thing required in our lives. Even when we don’t know how things will turn out, we trust God with the results. When our faith is weak, His faithfulness is our shield.

Aaand ... National Sons Day.
Why am I running late on these!?! 🙃
Max, I love you. I love the kind, strong man you are. You encourage me and hug me when I need it!! 🤗

Yesterday was National Daughters Day. I was late posting on Facebook, and I’m even later here. But here are my loves — including one I adopted! 😉
There is nothing like a daughter to grow your love — and sometimes challenge it!!
But that’s life, ya know?
My life is richer because of my girls. Love you to the moon! And back!!

"THIS IS A MUST-READ FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR FAITH so they can stand firm in the face of life's trials.
Dianne doesn't just tell you what you need to know, she teaches you how to study Scripture for yourself.
This is truly a Bible study for such a time as this."
~ Misty Phillip, Author of The Struggle is Real: But So Is God Bible study.

FOUR CARS IN A DRIVEWAY BUILT FOR TWO.
Tropical Storm Beta and all her rain has us squished in the driveway. What you can't see is my car is just about kissing the garage door. Max's license plate is kissing Tim's license plate.
Thankfully, our home has never flooded, but the "small cars" parked in front have. So we cram everyone together. When Abby's here, one car is in the yard. 😂
Currently the flooding has receded, but we're supposed to get another band of rain in a few hours that is supposed to last a good 12 hours.
Our prayers are with friends who live near creeks that have already overflowed their banks and are rising.
Texas / Gulf tropical storms that move as slowly as this one can cause as much flooding damage as a hurricane.
My big kids are home today -- so mama hen is happy for that.

THE MORE WE SURRENDER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, the more power He gives us to live a life of victory. We are not bound by the power of sin because we live in the power of the Spirit.

Spent some time in Baytown the other day. We don’t have James’s headstone yet, so Claudia and I put together a fall arrangement.
Yesterday marked three months since we lost James. I’ve lost loved ones before, but none hit this hard. I have a new appreciation for those grieving. I’m *so glad* James is with the Lord and we WILL see him again. But the loss ...
I don’t know how unbelievers bear it.
💙 James, we miss you every day 💙 (He loved blue)

"THIS IS NOT JUST A SIMPLE ARMORY,⠀

but a training ground and a close look into the heart of the Lord of Hosts. Dianne masterfully teaches us how to practically wear our armor, while leaning into Christ, who is the fulfillment of each piece. He is our truth, peace, and victory! I am excited to share this study with my friends." ⠀
